Say that three times fast! If you follow me on Pinterest, then you’ve likely noticed that I have a board for planning Arden’s third birthday party – It’s a PINK party! I saw Summer from Sumo’s Sweet Stuff did a similar wrap up for her popcorn party planning, and I wanted to be cool like Summer, {…Continue Reading}
Arden and Dave attended their first Daddy Daughter Dance at our new YMCA on Saturday. I pulled out the second of the Arden Refashioned Shirt Dresses that I made for her a year ago during Project Toddler Runway. I made this as a 2T and it was big on her last year at 23 months but {…Continue Reading}
Don’t forget to enter the giveway for a free double wine tote pattern from Fireflies & Jellybeans, plus a finished tote made by me! As a mother, sometimes I build things up into a big intimidating THING, and then when whatever it is happens it’s so not a big deal. I think I’m not alone {…Continue Reading}
My maternity leave has ended, so Hadley started daycare on Monday. Since we had kept Arden there to hold her place and to keep her attending preschool we were all pretty used to the routine for getting out the door in the morning. I don’t remember why Arden was upset, but check out that pouty {…Continue Reading}
Remember the adult robe I remade into a kid-sized version for Arden? Here it is in color! Arden chose the light pink dye. I didn’t tell her what it was for, only that she could choose her favorite color. I think she chose the perfect color! I decided not to wrap it as a Christmas {…Continue Reading}
I decided to knit up a little earwarmer for Arden after the umpteenth time I decided it wasn’t worth the trouble of trying to wrangle a hat over her ponytail. Since her hair is long and it gets all gummy with food if it’s not put back, 90% of the time it’s up in a ponytail, {…Continue Reading}
I had two cotton robes that I had purchased as guest robes, but after about four years only one of them had ever been used. So I decided to redo one of them into a robe for Arden.  They’re nice organic cotton – I bought them while on a business trip in Thailand. I {…Continue Reading}
I did it! I finally finished the second fair isle sweater for big sister Arden. Here it is with the smaller version I made for Hadley. I made this one size larger than the pattern was written, which involved a lot of figuring, so I’m really happy with how it turned out. Don’tcha just love the {…Continue Reading}
While waiting for more yarn to arrive to finish the last three rows on the fair isle sweater I’m knitting for Arden, I finished up a cute little flower hat for Hadley. It’s the same pattern to coordinate with the one I made in purple for Arden last fall. It’s from Itty Bitty Hats by Susan B. {…Continue Reading}
Whew! It’s been over two weeks since my last post. I guess I’ve been a bit busy with these two cuties… And I’ve been knitting every chance I get to finish the fair isle sweater for Arden that I started to match Hadley’s 3-6 month one that she’s threatening to outgrow any day… Then my {…Continue Reading}
