I had the day off work today because I worked for a while on Sunday. I decided that I would take a break from all the “baby homework” (researching, reading books, etc) and just play. I looked through some of my baby clothing patterns and decided to do something simple and fun so I ended [...]

A friend of mine asked me to reproduce a couple of paintings for her that she found on a website. I was more than happy to do this for her. The paintings would be my baby gift to her (she plans to use them in her nursery). When I visited the site, I discovered they [...]

I made this little hat for my friend, Amanda’s baby shower. I loved the little bill on the front. Pattern from: http://www.christinascrochethaven.com/baby_baseball_hat_and_mittens.htm

Well, Christmas is over. We returned from Washington, Missouri to Mountain View yesterday. It was a wonderful holiday with my family and with Leo’s family. As usual, my family went over-the-top with piles and piles of presents! Too many to fit under or even around my parent’s tree. But it’s always fun to see what [...]
