New beginnings

There have been a lot of changes in my life recently - new job (great and exciting!), plus I found out that I will be a mum around February (Exciting and super scary!). The last news has turned my life upside down.  There are so many things to think about - this is all new to me! After the exhausting first trimester - think I was sleeping in average 15 hours a day, I feel great.
With the news all my crafting aspirations have  turned towards baby stuff. First on the line are baby blankets. I have finished one and am half way through the zig zag one, which I actually prefer. As the latter  one is rather thick, it will serve as a play mat.
I am thinking about knitting overalls, but so far haven't been able to get yarn from natural fibers, just acrylic. I'm not giving up and keep looking with hope....

My first granny square

As much as I love to crochet - and i DO love to crochet, I have never made a granny square. So this week was my first. Might be the beginnings of a blanket. However, I'm not too sure how to join them - my technique doesn't look right to me. This should be the subject of some more testing.
