Learn to Knit

The best learn to knit book ever.  Only problem with this kerchief was that it was suppose to be for me but turned out too small. I had the same problem when I was learning to crochet a hat. Maeve got that one too even though it was suppose to be for a newborn. Maybe checking the gauge is important! :)

Crafting Fridays...baby stuff


I've spent a few Fridays making baby stuff for two baby showers. I recently decided to try making changing pads and wet bags for all those poopy clothes. This set with a burp cloth was for a Texas cowboy due soon. I made another set for my neighbor and a new changing pad for Jude to try to protect our quilts better. I tried both vinyl and fusible vinyl and am pretty much done ever sewing with either. Not much fun. 

Trouble...

Do these two look like trouble? Do you see a future of knife throwing across the living room at each other or skipping school and eating marshmallow creme while hiding in the garage?

Baby Jude- Captain of the Flying Saucer

Daffodowndilly



Daffodowndilly
by A. A. Milne

She wore her yellow sun-bonnet,
She wore her greenest gown;
She turned to the south wind
And curtsied up and down.
She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbor:
"Winter is dead."

Found this during Adelle's poetry study this term. Thanks Mom for planting our garden for us!  Though our daffodils have bloomed we are still hoping winter isn't dead yet because the A/C at church is being worked on for a couple of weeks. And this Alaskan does not do hot well...

Baby Shower Game-Odd Celebrity Baby Names




I went to a baby shower this evening that had some fun new games. One game was a variation on the melted chocolate bars in diapers but it was white powder in zip lock bags that you had to identify without opening the bag (i.e. powdered sugar, flour, cornstarch, sugar, bisquick, baking powder and soda, baby powder, laundry detergent, baby formula). The other one was match the celebrity with their odd baby names. I got 8 out of thirty. How many do you know?
