It Fits!

Lil' Miss Faith
My BFF sent me a picture yesterday of her daughter modeling one of the bibs I knit for her.  I've been knitting these for almost four years, and it's good to see that they actually fit!  You may remember posts of these bibs (and the matching burp cloths) from last year around this time...

Scrapbook Shower

Today was the second in a string of spring baby showers, but this one was a bit different because it had a scrapbooking theme. We were actually charged with creating pages in a baby alphabet book. We chose a word or phrase for the letters of the alphabet we were assigned and created a page to "frame" a picture of the baby that goes along with the word. I chose the end of the alphabet, Y and Z. My pages were Yummy/Yucky for a mealtime picture and Zzzz for a sleepytime picture.


Of course I knit something for the shower gift! Since my friend and her husband want to be surprised about the baby's gender, I chose yarns in their nursery colors, yellow (Daisy Ombre) and brown (Chocolate Ombre). My mom had given me some adorable ducky buttons that were perfect for the bibs, and then I just ran with the whole duck theme...

Better than the Superbowl?

While my father and my husband watched the end of the Superbowl, my mother, my sister, and I were having fun at the expense of poor Layla, who just wanted to recover her ball from under the kitchen cabinets. Too bad she was afraid of Rufus!

Instead of "Friday Funny," maybe this should be classified as "Friday Sad--But True"

Facebook, it's all your fault!

New Knitting Toy

This, my friends, is a knitting yarn ball winder.
It takes messy leftover yarn like this...
...and turns it into center-pull balls of yarn ready for the next project!
I believe I may have gone a bit overboard today.
