Little Sesame turns 2 tomorrow and we had her party on Saturday. It was a hot, sunny day but luckily our backyard had plenty of shade.
Here’s her birthday banner in action.
There were plenty of friends for Mike and I to hang out with but little Sesame had some buddies to play with too.
There were cupcakes [...]

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 [...]

12 hours in the car with a toddler isn’t so bad. Maybe it’s just my amazing trooper of a kid but I’m tempted to even say that the drive from Portland to the Bay Area was fun. I realize that sounds crazy but crayons, knitting and books on CD go a long way- 600 miles [...]

Sesame is more and more interested in playing with her dolls lately so I whipped up a super simple ring sling for her to use. I chose a ring sling so that she won’t outgrow it any time soon and I hardly had to do any measuring. Unlike the clothes I make for, she loved [...]

I’ve been neglecting my blog. I have a lot of projects in the works and my job has been keeping me busy- not to mention little Sesame who is learning a new word a day now and is often too busy talking to go to sleep. Here’s what’s been going on in the last month.

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.

In the last week we’ve had snow and ice and lots of overreacting byt weather forcasters but this weekend the storm really came! We have about a foot of snow and it’s still coming down. This is Portland, people! We usually get a little snow and some ice but this is nuts. The first [...]

Mike and I didn’t really get into Halloween this year. Oh sure, we dressed sesame up as a batbaby and went to the Kennedy School where she got some candy and we got beer and then ate her candy. We didn’t put up decorations or even carve pumpkins and I usually love pumpkin carving!
If the [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
