I’ve survived the toddler birthday extravaganza, complete with another cake and more celebrating on June 2, her actual birthday. The summer camp I direct starts in a week and a half and I’ve been busy getting ready for it. I finally had a weekend to relax last weekend and it was so nice!
With the sunny [...]

Since I first blogged about the tank hat I made for Mike last year, I have had several requests for the chart.
I’ve put together a pdf with the chart that you can download here. If you make something with a tank on it, please share a picture with me!

Well, I’ve been knitting things for sesame but she won’t hold still long enough for me to take good pictures. She’s a baby on the move!
This is the best picture I have of her wearing her star pants that I finished last week. They’re the Perfection Pants from Wooly Wonder and I [...]
