Ah Friday...

Emerson week 3 smiles

I love Fridays. It means the weekend is coming and on the weekend I get to hang out with my wonderful husband, we spend more time making better food, we get to go to the farmers market, we may play in the yard. And today is the first plan old summer feeling day since the Bug came. Not too hot yet, just feeling perfect to me.
Last night we had dinner on the porch for the first time in a while. The last times I really remember eating on the porch are right before we knew I was pregnant. When I thought I might be but was trying hard not to anticipate. Because what did I know about any of that? And then the first trimester ate up my memories of the end of summer last year...
So anyway, yesterday before making (or at least starting) that lovely dinner I took care of the laundry and did the dishes. Today during the naps I haven't done anything like that. I have been sewing... Can you believe it? I have made three log cabin blocks; cut, sewn and pressed! I am only back here by the Bug because he was fussing more and more over the monitor and I figured he was bound to wake up any minute and I didn't want to have to jog two flights of stairs with him in a panic.
So this weekend I may actually finish the pillow cover that I have been thinking about since we got home from the hospital. And then, I may actually show you all pictures of it. Pretty swanky, eh?

I just printed some pictures of Bug and also downloaded a few of Kent to also print. Your seat bottom came yesterday. That sounds funny, maybe your car seat base came, so you and the Bug may visit during the week or perhaps, Grandma and Grandpa will be able to take the Bug for a ride...

Happy 200 posts to me! I can't believe that two years ago I started writing this because I was wanting to craft and be part of the amazing crafting/blogging community I had discovered. These amazing , vivacious artists , mothers and creators . Everyday I would read their blogs and be blown away by beautiful pictures of wonderful things that they were creating. And they had other jobs like being mama or owning a shop. I was inspired! And then we moved into this wonderful house and a month later Senor gave me a sewing machine. I was floored because it meant he believed I could really create something. My family and friends have always been supportive but this was somehow different. Senor has this almost magical ability to take my ideas and help turn them into reality. Okay- before I diverge and wax on endlessly, let us just say, "And the rest is in my archives!" :) I am also proud to present little a! My new business! For this moment I am only taking special o...

Robinia

 Becky and I set out to make a couple of Robinia sweaters in mid-March, which took two months to complete.  Just yesterday, I wove in the ends and wore it.  I'm afraid to block it.   Specs: The Robinia has been making the rounds.  I couldn't see buying the tons of yarn it would take to create the three-strand yarn the designer used, but Becky found this chainette cotton blend, Cantata , that seemed perfect. I've recently realized that making the exact color combination that I liked in the first place is not a bad thing.  It means I get the garment I really loved in the first place. Mods: I made a size XS/S even though I could have made the M according to the designer but everything I knit comes out bigger than expected, even when I gauge swatch right on target.  (I think the blocked weight of the garment just is so much more than the swatch is what causes this, but it's just a theory.)  I didn't wrap any of my floats and it remains to b...

A short list of thoughts 1. Two trips to the pediatrician in two days is too many. Emerson is a little jaundiced and he'll be fine if they would stop poking him. 2. I find myself wanting to do nothing but stare at him. No thinking, just staring. 3. I can't get over how thankful I am to the two women who stayed up all those hours with us during the labor. I always had someone whispering encouragement, holding my hand, prompting a question, pushing my hair back; whatever I needed. And I had known them prior to this for about an hour... Thank you Ellie and Christi! 4. Finally, I have the best husband on the planet. Because all I can keep up with is this tiny person and he isn't complaining about taking care of everything else.
