Foto Friday - Look What I Can Make

Just thought I would add a quick post while I have a sleeping newborn and a behaving 23 month old. On August 30th I went into labor and had this little bundle. It was a super fast labor...I was in the hospital a short 4 hours before I delivered. My nurse had me breath through some of the last contractions just so my Dr. would make it to my room in time for the birth....My mother made it into the room on the last push!

I made him this cocoon for him from a knitting circle contraption I found in a stash of stuff from my aunt and the other day we had a little photo shoot.

And it took me almost 3 weeks but I finally finished the first page in Nox's baby scrapbook.

Good-bye February and Wish List Wednesday

I think I'm slightly in denial. I cannot believe it's already March! Two months have already FLOWN by.

Created using Owl Luv U 4ever by Emily Powers

And this week on Wish List Wednesday...I wish I could knit, because I would make a few of these for baby Lennox. Just for pictures and maybe for cold winter nights, but mostly just for pictures.
Just in case you are lucky enough to know how to knit, the pattern is available at All You Need is Love. Feel free to make one for me too ;o)

Found Craft: "Flopsy"

I haven't had much time to do anything crafty lately. I've been very busy packing, painting and going through boxes. The perk of going through boxes is that you never know what treasures you'll find. We found this doll at my mother's (soon to be our) house. We can't remember her name...so I'm calling her Flopsy...since that is what she is.

I knit her for my sister when I was 13 or 14. I had just learned to knit and found the pattern for her in a kids craft book. (Which I also hope to locate.) The stitches are to lose and she probably could have used a little more stuffing...but she was made with lots of love.

I gave her to Arianna during a Christmas we spent in England. Arianna didn't think that she would be warm enough with the clothes I made her....so my Grandmama made her a cute poncho and gloves.

And here is the rest of her wardrobe. The gray "skirt" she's wearing in the first picture is actually a dress and the vests I made go over that. I can't wait to see what other goodies I find.
