Okay so I have been working on this project for almost a year… the shame!
This is from the lot of vintage patterns I scored from a family friend. It is so darling and I had the pieces knit up, and the thing seamed even for oh, a half a year or more. But the crochet, oh crochet, how you vex me! It had crochet edging all the way around.
I finally figured out that I wasn't going to be able to get good enough at crochet in time for me to finish this to my liking to fit little Tutu. So my friend did it for me and it turned out so awesome!
Vintage buttons from one of the only sales I went to last year (I am going to do better this year).
Sparkly Pants wore it today and spit up all over it. My mom and I managed to mop most of it up so I could take some photos. I should have taken the photos before, but you know, a finished knit you have to wear it!
Because they make everyone so happy!

I got one of these chairs from Michele and I've been trying to sit Tuesday in it for a while. This is the first time she came close to being able to:
That lasts for a whole 15 seconds or so before we get this:
That's when I rescue her. Hehehe it cracks me up. I think if she was a little more solid it might work better. But she's so skinny she slips around in there.I might have pictures of a really awesome finished project tomorrow. Buttons, I'm trying to get on buttons.

This last weekend we took an extra day and went on a three day adventure to visit Bj's parents. Because they live a bit away this included two 4.5 hours car rides – there and back. Of course we have to stop now to feed her, but we had to stop a couple of other times to change her diaper or just sooth her a bit. She is much better in the car now that she has learned a couple of great tricks: tracking things really well and focusing on books and toys, being able to get to her fist and suck on it, and the newest of new tricks; grabbing toys. It is so beyond cute!
This toy from Sarah continues to be a favorite. Right now we have a balloon tied to it and she is so funny with the thing.
Also loving the links you use to hook toys together. My favorite funny new trick of hers:
Playing with her tongue. She makes clicky sounds with it. I sort of had her dressed like an elf this day:
It was an accident. She got hot (we have had a couple days of insanely nice weather), and she only has a few pairs of shorts that fit. I think the days of head to toe wool might be over (but not head to toe knits!). Ah sweet baby
The reason I haven't blogged by the way? This is the first time I've gotten any real time on the computer in days. She has been keeping me busy (in a good way). Today we walked to the park with grandma and a friend and had a picnic! It was so lovely. She pays more attention to the world now so everyday is more interesting than the last. But I still would like a little time on the computer ๐
