It's the little things...

I took a short break from working on the Hoover Blanket (At 230 stitches per row a break is necessary sometimes!) to knit this tiny little hat for this little guy: My nephew was born on Tuesday, but we...

Dots and thoughts

I made my nephew a quilt. He's due to be born sometime tomorrow and I can't wait to meet him! I've made him a lot of things lately, but I saved the quilt for last, mostly because I had...

Growing up...

The toddler spent Saturday with his grandparents while hubby and I painted a downstairs bedroom. Yep, we painted what used to be the office in chocolate brown and sky blue for the little guy. He'll be moving downstairs to...

Knitting in a vacuum

I'm making surprisingly quick progress on the Hoover Blanket. And not much progress on anything else. That's about a weeks worth of work up there. It helps that I'm dragging it to the couch twice a day to prop...

Giving credit where credit is due

This is what was in the great package I got from Robyn for the Vintage Heart Swap. I should have posted this at least a week ago, but things got a little bit crazy around here. We moved my...

Where the sidewalk ends

I loved Shel Silverstein when I was growing up. Actually, I still love his work; I can't wait to share his poems and stories with my own kids. Hubby and I have had several occasions in life where we've...

Irons in the fire

I'm actually trying to post twice a day just to get caught up! We've got so very much going on, I'm terribly afraid that this pregnant mommy is going to forget something really important. We're currently moving hubby's home...

Keeping warm

Maybe it's just because I have a toddler at home this year, but it seems like this winter is never going to end. We really miss walking to the park everyday, the exercise and the hours of play outside...

I might become the bag lady

Another item hiding in the basket I gave my sister-in-law was this bag. And I'm going to brag a bit here; I designed this puppy. This is actually version 2 of the bag, and there will definitely be a...

I caught the bug

The applied I-cord bug, that is. That's a photo of the finished knit baby blanket I gave my sister-in-law in the basket at her shower. It's really just a basic log cabin with an applied I-cord border. The I-cord...

A little piece of his heart

I made my boys matching shirts for Valentine's Day this year. When I printed all the hearts for the Mid-Winter Gocco Swap and the Valentine Swap, I also printed one on a shirt for hubby. Just before I made...

Neglectful little me

So I've been swamped. I've sewn and knitted myself into a slump of tiredness. And in the process I've neglected my blog, to thank a really super sweet swap partner, and myself. Shara sent me an awesome hanging valentine as...
