My kiddo is just about to turn 2!  It feels like time is flying by but then it also feels like little Sesame has been with us a lot longer than just 2 years.  I barely remember life before her sometimes!  We’re having a birthday bash this weekend and I whipped up this cute and [...]

Love

I love this little dress!  Like everything I’ve knit recently, it’s making wasn’t without a near-disaster.  It was almost ruined when I put it on the little ungrateful toddler and she had a screaming fit and yanked at it so hard that she totally stretched out the buttonholes and I was afraid for the hand-stitching.  [...]

We had a great time at The Pumpkin Patch last weekend and partied with some parent friends.  Square dancing, all-you-can-eat barbecued corn and toddlers in face paint.  It was a really good time and after much deliberation, we even came home with some pumpkins.
Back at home, the evidence that seseme is now a toddler is [...]

Mmmm . . . Apples

We went to the Apple Celebration at the Portland Nursery last weekend and and tasted over 60 kinds of apples and pears!  Luckily we got a paper to write notes on and we learned a lot about apples.  We bought a bunch of apples too so next up- applesauce!
Even sesame got into the harvest spirit [...]

I’ve finally written up a pattern for my eyelet skirty (or is it skirtie?) that I’ve been showing you lately. It’s more of a guide than a pattern but it’s free and I don’t think any of you will have any trouble with it. Happy knitting!

The pattern is below but I’ve also made [...]

Sesame won’t eat strawberries if I offer them to her at mealtimes while she’s [...]

For the birthday extravaganza Mike and I had 6 out of town relatives come to visit. It was a [...]

Is it summer?

It has been so hot lately! It’s been in the 90s and for a while there I thought I was going to melt. It’s only May and it’s been gray and rainy for so long that I am really not adjusted to the sunshine!
My knitting has taken a bit of a back seat [...]

Happy Easter!

I hope your Easter was filled with joy!

The bunny ears are cute but the headwear I’m most fond of is this cute little bonnet I knitted for sesame. She even seemed to like wearing it!

The pattern is from Dale of Norway’s pattern book #142. It’s the bonnet from pattern 14201, the eyelet lace [...]

It’s 9pm and my baby is still awake. This is not good, people. Not good at all.

Do you know what is good? Baby socks. They’re little and cute, super fast to knit and they use up those little balls of leftover sock yarn that never seem to go away. I [...]
