She moved blogs! January 13, 2008

I don’t know how blog moving works, if you lose people, if they follow, how much of a problem it is to not have the nice long archive, but I’m giving it a shot. I have moved from WordPress to Typepad. WordPress has been fine, but Typepad has features that WordPress doesn’t and [...]

She Found a Fun Kids Book January 12, 2008

Husband was looking for a specific winter book at the library, was unable to locate it as it was already out with someone else.  But he does have it on reserve and did find several others to bring home and see if they are good.  We find most kids books are not.  Most of them [...]

She Finished Mom’s Christmas Gift and the Baby Vest January 11, 2008

Mom is finally going to get her Christmas gift!  The Apron looks great, I made a matching potholder, which I decided to try with bias tape and prefer my original way of making potholders, but it coordinates better with the bias tape.  I decided that with the fact she’s been sewing and knitting a bit [...]

She Recieved her Swap Package, Took Down the Tree and Started a Baby Vest January 10, 2008

The mail came and the Swap Package has arrived!!  I’m so excited.  My partner and I were both a bit late on the sending, so it worked out well we were paired together.  This is what arrived!

One of her traditions is to make pinecone/peanut butter/birdseed ornaments, with her son, to hang outside for the birds, [...]

She received a New Night Gown January 9, 2008

Mom came over today, with matching nightgowns for Mini and I.  Flannel Lilac Gingham.  I’m so excited.  I was going to make one for myself as I’ve been keeping the house on the cool side so my lightweight knit jammies aren’t really enough, some nights.  The night gown even fits over my nearly 7month pregnant [...]

Update on the children’s products laws January 8, 2008

I commented a few days ago about writing to my Senator and Rep about concerns with a new law going into effect February 10.  Changes have begun to take place and it looks like a good start.  Products made with natural materials such as wood and cotton will not be needing testing. Great.  They are [...]

She made an Apron, Pj’s and 2 hats January 8, 2008

I told you that I gave up on the shawl for mom, that it just wasn’t working the way I wanted.  Well, I decided to make her an apron instead.  She gets dressed up for work, and owns her own business, so she’s often putting together dinner between appointments (in her good clothes).  She has [...]

She Made a Smorgasbord of Comfort Dishes January 7, 2008

I spent a lot of time in the kitchen today.  I am not really much of a cook, not that the food I make doesn’t taste good, it usually does, but to get the timing and organization for a meal to be on the table at supper time, well it rarely works well.  If I [...]

She finished the Baby Vest, Made a Bib and a Blanket January 6, 2008

As promised, I have finished projects to show!  Group photo…

The baby vest is done.  I am pleased with it, and I hope she loves it.  I still don’t think I’ll make another, even thought I really like the idea of the vest. I finished it off with little buttons made from coconut shell, so it [...]

She found an adorable hat pattern and is wishing for knitting time to make all the cool things she has yarn for January 5, 2008

I’ve found some fun new blogs lately, some of which I’ll probably be adding to my left column soon, and have been hopping about.  By doing so I found this very adorable hat, that I want to make for my little girl.  I love the little applique too.  So cute.  I think the pattern lends [...]
