A Bootie Distraction… The “Jessica’s”

I think I mentioned this in a previous post you can read here but crafting and especially crocheting calms my nerves and allows me to think. This past week has been quite the adventure. A dear friend of mine was diagnosed with brain cancer and I’m pregnant. I’m pregnant with a baby girl who is growing and working full time with a husband who is back in school which means I’m extremely limited in the amount of time I can actually give her. Last night as she returned home from her first bout of radiation I wanted to go to her and hug her and love on her…. BUT the logical part of my brain knew that she was sleeping/resting and that’s exactly where she needed to be and not have a crazy hormonal red head asking her how she feels every 5 seconds. Pregnancy has made me crazy-the end. I miss my logical brain but sometimes it still seeps through. So as my husband told me to go upstairs and get some rest I knew that wasn’t going to happen. I NEEDED to “DO” something… anything for her. But I knew there was nothing I could do but pray for her and maybe make her smile. I knew she was not alone as there were many from our church that were going to be with her. I searched YouTube and found this awesome pattern that matches a pair of shoes that I know she loves. What better way to spend my evening of anxiety and a mountain of laundry than making my little girl some baby booties as she kicks away in my belly that match my dear friends favorite shoes ?

Princess K’s “Jessica’s” as I will call them from now on…

I will say, after I finished these I did sleep better last night and for whatever reason, I felt more at peace with my situation. God will take care of all of us and I don’t have to “do” anything because I know He will do a better job than I could ever manage on my own. I know I have limits but that doesn’t mean I’m always happy about it.
