Blanket for the man-child

spring09-075.jpgPoor guy – I really owed him this. When the twins were new and up in the night all the time (and that meant that we were also up in the night all the time), tricky things would happen. Sometimes (ok, almost all the time) Titus would wake up nicely swaddled in a pink blanket, and Chloe in the red one. To be fair to us, more often than not we would wake up to find that we had tucked some diapers into our bed, so it wasn’t just Titus who felt the brunt of our sleeplessness.

My tender domestic side suffered acutely. But now, what with diaper incidents and other mishaps, and even though we can tell the twins apart  in the night, sometimes this little dude has to use a floral sheet or two. We do have white ones, but you know, things happen. So before he got old enough to notice, I made him this. Cute, huh?

But all this talk about the sleepless nights has made me remember the highest of high points for us as an up-too-much-in-the-night couple. Read More

Just because

we can’t very well leave that horrible winter scene up at the top of the page when we all know we had a beautiful Saturday, and most of the snow is gone! And besides, I never really loved Easter lilies until this one, and it hits you in the face with a completely non-snowy kind of smell when you walk in the door! spring09-021.jpg

I finally finished this little dress for Chloe, and I think it turned out pretty cute in spite of the several points of agony I had with the pattern. I have chosen to overlook the mistakes, and just be proud that I finished the troublesome old thing before she outgrew it! dress-002.jpgdress-003.jpg

Owlie Soap Sack

march09-011.jpg So here is a silly thing for silly children. Or rather a silly pattern for silly mothers of silly children. If you want to make one yourself, you can print the pattern here.  You need nothing more than basic knitting skills and cheap cotton yarn, and very simple finishing makes it a super quick (crank them out in time for Easter baskets) kind of thing. A penguin is coming soon, as well as some other animals because I have four children!  Just slip in a bar of baby soap, and you are in business. owlie_soap_sack.pdf

I am secretly preparing to be a granny. Even though I prefer knitting (I really do), these hexagons are sucking me in! Someday they will grow up to be an afghan, and probably have children of their own.march09-014.jpg
