  • Oh I have it bad for this little girl. Violet is my new favorite mini human! I love her. Her mom and dad are doing so great. Brett changes her outfits whenever someone new comes over, how cute is that. Michele is doing A+ with her and she did great at her weight check (which I got to go to, I felt so honored!).

    Even the newborn size was a little small. Everyone told them that they didn’t need to get anything newborn size, it would be a waste, so they didn’t. Then they got home and she fit into nothing, so Brett saved the day by going out and getting four sleepers for the baby, and tube tops for Michele. Okay so I totally sucked on getting many pictures, but I was just in baby holding heaven and didn’t think of it. When I got there Michele was nursing and when she was done she handed Violet right to me. And I pretty much held her for most of the four hours I was there. Thought this might have helped stem the baby lust, but no. Just makes me want one more. Sigh.

  • There is just under 2 WEEKS to send out swap gifties. Make sure you are going through your stash, reading your buddies blog and communicating with them. If they don’t have a blog, or update infrequently, or you just want some more information, ask them. I know some people have given away their identity (oops) or not yet contacted their buddies. Please remember that you wanted to be in the swap and you want fun stuff. It works full circle so this weekend watch out for garage sales, go to a thrift store or rummage through your stash. Take another look at your stuff, I’m sure you have treasures in there. Please don’t hesitate to email me with questions or help. Let’s make this swap the best ever!

    If you need any reminders of dates or anything, all the info can be found here.

    And email me when you ship or receive the box, because there is a prize involved!!!

  • Remember when I went to that crop on Friday, here is the project I made:
    Babybook

    It’s a cute little rainbow baby book for Violet (Michele and Brett’s baby). I figured her parents could put pictures in it or leave it blank. It’s hard to tell by the pictures but this is one of those Maya Road books with chipboard pages, so it’s really thick and sturdy. I think it’s cool that our names are both colors and I’m so excited to meet her tomorrow. Baby holding here I come!
    Sweater
    I don’t think I showed a picture of this little sweater I finished for her either. The green is hand spun silk/mohair blend. Ohhh heaven. Unfortunately I didn’t have enough and I don’t have any more fiber either, so I did cascade 220 held together with Rowen Kidsilk Haze. It worked out okay. Lesson learned I guess. I really want to spin some more but I need fiber, and I think I might just wait until I move and set everything up craft wise (man I can not wait). Things are going well over at the house. Today is a kind of house free day for me. They are still sanding the floors, and will be working on them through the weekend. After yesterday’s craziness and getting out the newsletter and everything I slept in until 10:30 this morning, it felt so great. I’m going to put up some new product on the store tonight and hopefully have some relaxing time.
