Oh my goodness what have I gotten myself into?!?! Sciarrino and I have been crafting like crazy for weeks getting read for the Albany Town and Country Christmas Bazaar. The show is this weekend! It starts on Friday November 30th and runs through Sunday, December 2nd. We decided to participate on a whim. After all if you ever craft something chances are you’ve had someone tell you, “You should sell that!” Well we will have lots of goodies for sale, including burp rags, onsies, ribbon blankets, snack bags, ombre quilts, flannel wonky star quilts, and other simple baby/toddler quilts. We’ve made cards and crinkly baby toys. We have receiving blankets and even nursing pads. If none of that suits your fancy and you’re in the area we are one of, I believe, 100 vendors. Every item there for sale has to be made by the person tending the booth, so I’m really excited to see what everyone has for sale.
Here is a glimps of our booth, we mocked it up this last weekend.
Pretty much everyone I know and love has helped Sciarrino and I get the booth ready. Bj made these awesome racks:
He used this tutorial. My mother in law has been watching the girls and helping with ironing and sewing. My mom has been sewing and watching the girls. Her and my step dad took Tuesday camping last weekend and she had a blast. Glad she got to do something fun because we have been at home sewing like crazy!
And sweet Bennet helped me by modeling the crinkly toys.
Yum, yum, get it Bennie! I (or maybe my mom…) made lots since they are known around here as “baby crack”
So please come shop! Or at least stop by and say hi! I would love to see you! And I won’t be wearing my glasses (I like to pretend I have perfect vision) so don’t hesitate to come right up and say hey. I’ll have Bennet “I won’t take a bottle if my life depended on it” Garrison with me the whole time 🙂

People say they look so much alike, but I don’t see it much. They look (and act!) so different to me. Here both at four months:
If you have multiple children do they look much alike? Did they grow to look more alike or more different? It’s so interesting to me how different, yet equally wonderful the girls are. I just love them so. -
Oh my sweet Bennet. I’m going to take a brief break from sewing like a mad woman for the Christmas Bazaar and update everyone on you at FOUR MONTHS.
Look how big you’re getting! I just took you to the doctor today and you were 24.25 inches tall and 11 pounds 12 ounces! You are my tiny little love. I’m glad you’re still growing so well because we’ve been having some tummy problems with you.
You’re such a happy go lucky girl that I was shocked when you stopped sleeping well and were so fussy. Then you got blood in your stool and I knew something was wrong. Mama had to cut out all dairy and you started feeling much better (then I accidentally had some cream in a peanut sauce and I’m so sorry because the next day was not good for you). I’m hoping all your issues go away by next friday, otherwise I have to cut out soy as well. Diary and soy are in so many things! But that’s okay because I love nursing you and can’t bare to give it up.
Oh my goodness your sister loves you so much. Sometimes a little too much, she gives great big sister hugs.
It was hard to get this picture because usually you’re just staring at your sister when ever she is around, it’s so very sweet and makes me so happy. Of course it’s hard to understand babies when you’re (almost) four.
Like why do you pull hair Bennie? Tuesday doesn’t understand.
I know, I know, you were just exploring your environment.
Don’t worry she forgives quickly. Of course you are rolling like crazy, and you just started scooting…. so when you start heading towards her toys we might have other problems.
3 months, 2 months, 1 month.
