While waiting for more yarn to arrive to finish the last three rows on the fair isle sweater I’m knitting for Arden, I finished up a cute little flower hat for Hadley. It’s the same pattern to coordinate with the one I made in purple for Arden last fall. It’s from Itty Bitty Hats by Susan B. {…Continue Reading}

Breastfeeding and Running
This post was requested by one of my lovely readers (thanks folks – without you, only my Mom would be reading what I put here!!). I make no claim to be an expert in the matter, but I am 1. a runner, and 2. a breastfeeding mother. So, first and foremost to run while breastfeeding {…Continue Reading}
So close!
Aaagh! I’m literally within 3 rows of completing the fair isle sweater I’m knitting for Arden, and I’ve run out of yarn! All the pieces are there and ready to go as soon as I finish the button band, but I need like 4 feet of the main color yarn. What a pain! Luckily, I {…Continue Reading}
My Too Cool T-shirt Quilt
This was a BB (Before Blogging) project that I’ve been meaning to post about for some time, because I think it truly is a too cool t-shirt quilt. Most t-shirt quilts I’ve seen are 1. cut a uniform size, regardless of the design on the shirt, 2. backed with stiff interfacing, and 3. have sashing {…Continue Reading}

Cutie
Just couldn’t resist posting this picture of my littlest cutie snoozing this afternoon. I’m making good progress on the fair isle sweater, so hopefully will have a finished sweater to share soon! I’m working on the fair isle part, which is the most fun.
DIY: Ladder Shelf From Reclaimed Wood
Whew! It’s been over two weeks since my last post. I guess I’ve been a bit busy with these two cuties… And I’ve been knitting every chance I get to finish the fair isle sweater for Arden that I started to match Hadley’s 3-6 month one that she’s threatening to outgrow any day… Then my {…Continue Reading}
Hadley Marie – One Month
Our sweet little Hadley has reached her first milestone – one month! After initial concerns about failing to gain weight after leaving the hospital, she’s made up for it in fine form and at her one month check was 11 pounds, 4 ounces and 23 inches long. Both measurements put her in the 97th percentile {…Continue Reading}
Trick or Treat
Arden’s daycare had their Halloween party on the 31st, and I stuck around to help out and take some pictures. This is the only one I can share without other kids identifiable in it, but it was a great party with lots of activities. This is the first time I’ve seen Arden use scissors, and I thought she {…Continue Reading}
