I always figured that I would pick up scrapbooking when I felt like I had something (or someone) to scrapbook…enter the kiddo.  I’ve got a scrapbook waiting in the wings to work on for his first year, but for now, I’m using scrapbook supplies to make his birth announcements.  These should go out this week, … Continue reading →

This is my view as I knit on the couch.  It’s funny, I used to knit while I watched TV and now I feed the kiddo while I watch TV and watch the kiddo while I knit.  I have been knitting, it just doesn’t make for a glamorous in progress shot.  I’m on the last … Continue reading →

Thank you all for your kind words welcoming Cameron into the world…I am sorry that I haven’t emailed you individually to thank you, but many of you understand what life is like with a newborn!  Cameron and I have survived my first week of Motherhood.  My mom was here and was a great help and … Continue reading →

He’s here!  I’d like you to meet Cameron!  He was born Friday afternoon at about 4:20 following my induction that morning at 9:30.  He weighed in at a healthy 8 lbs and 8 ounces and measured 20 inches…he’s a big boy!  There is much more to say, but we just got home yesterday and are … Continue reading →

Nope, the kiddo isn’t here, yet…but his blanket is finished! These colors are next to impossible for me and my poor photography skills (not to mention the contractions I’m currently having) to photograph, so this will have to do.  I thought this thing would never get seamed up! Now that it is all assembled, I … Continue reading →

Nothing exciting here, just nesting and seaming.  I only have two more squares to sew together on the Technicolor Blanket, and then I have to sew them all together!  And then, there’s the border, but I’m taking it one day at a time.  If it doesn’t get finished before the Beast gets here, then it … Continue reading →

So it’s been a while.  The last two weeks have involved lots of nesting and the transition from enjoying pregnancy to being over it.  They have not included much knitting, but I am working on finishing the Technicolor blanket.  I would really like to have it finished before the beast gets here, so I’m seaming … Continue reading →

I haven’t started anything new, still plugging away on the Retro Redux Shrug.  So, in an attempt to distract you, I thought I’d tell you how I spent my first Mother’s Day! We got a new tent in April and hadn’t had the opportunity to use it, yet.  I have suggested several times to the … Continue reading →

My current project has me switching gears a little bit.  It’s about time, right? This, my friends, is a Retro Redux Shrug from Lace Style in the making.  Inspired by Brynne, who made this shrug as she neared the end of her pregnancy, I decided that the shrug was the perfect project to scratch my … Continue reading →

More baby stuff! I know you’re surprised! I’m such a one trick pony right now.  These were made for twins of a co-worker who are due to arrive mid-August.  They were made using the Rainbow Marley pattern from Itty Bitty Hats, but they are neither rainbow or marley.  The rainbow part got left out because … Continue reading →
