I can't believe two years ago I was turning from a Miss to a Mrs. It really is crazy how time flies, huh? Tuesday, Bj and I headed to Portland this weekend for a shower and a wedding. A baby shower for my friend who is having twin girls in a month or so. I …

A not so manly vest.
Remember this yarn? I wanted to knit it up ASAP to see if I liked knitting singles, so I could see if I should spin some more. Turns out I do like knitting singles, a lot. I made up a quick little vest from a free pattern I found online. It's called the manly vest, …
My little reader
She could look at these books for hours. I loved walking in on them this weekend. Such a nice relaxing couple of days. Oh no, just got those links off Amazon… there are more SAMi books, off to check them out!
Okay NOW you can call me a super crafty genius
All the time I am doing dead easy craft projects and I get the, "oh I could never do that." And, "you're so crafty." True I like doing crafty things, but I'd like to point out that I usually stay on the easy side of the street. In my knitting, for example, I've never even …

Double as Cute
It was so wonderful out yesterday. Sunny, happy, beautiful weather. Erin came to visit us and kept an eye on the little miss while I had a cavity filled (I blame the coca cola during pregnancy). After getting some work done we headed outside to walk around. Everyone had the same idea, as we came …

So combine those two things and you have hand knits… in handspun! My favorite combo. Remember those scrappies from Funky Carolina? Well I made yarn with them! And I …

Knit baby love
I started knitting up a baby surprise jacket for my neighbor across the street. She just had a baby boy, I'm so excited for another baby friend for Tutu. While I was trying to get Tuesday to model the jacket I realized if I wanted her to have one I had better start on it …
2 months down 856 to go*
Wanna see what 2 months looks like? Awe she's so cute even when she is Miss Cranky Pants. Okay now a good one: Her eyes are still quite grey, but turning more blue. Her smile is brighter than the sun. No one wakes up as happy as Tuesday Lee, I'm sure of that. She loves …
If you can’t make it… buy it!
I love Etsy. I have a lot of favorite stores on there, and now I have another: momonomo. I found her by going from blog to blog, you know how it goes. She featured an awesome hirigana quilt (a Japanese alphabet) on her blog. She mentioned that she was hoping for orders for them so …
Swap – it’s on now I need a name!
(Just a pretty picture of my newest roving from Hello Yarn's fiber club) I'm going ahead with the swap, but I've changed it up a bit. Instead of having to break up 8 of your bumps of fiber I am going to have everyone send me a four ounce (I'm open to 8 ounces also) …
