Go look at the moon, it's brilliant!!! I stepped out of the hospital tonight and was taken aback by it!
It was super busy at work-- it's so nice to be home in my comfy clothes with my guys (hubby & baby)! I'm about to pick up my project and enjoy some knitting & chamomile before bed-- so relaxing! This is the start of a pair of 'shorties' for new baby. I am winging it a bit... no idea what the size will be, how they will fit or look-- they might end up looking more like a soaker or diaper cover. We'll see! It's been good to dust off the looms though~*


P.S. PLEASE tell me that you are having problems with Blogger too (& it's not just my computer!) ... for *weeks* now, I've been having trouble EVERY time I try to view 'comments' on other blogs, and especially when I want to post comments... Anybody else? I'm hoping this will resolve, it's getting ridiculous!
*~*~*~Have a beautiful night! ~*~*~*

MY FIRST PROJECT!

I stayed up until 3am finishing my longies! I still have to add the drawstring and weave in the loose ends. But I am so proud of myself. They do have... character... one leg slightly longer than the other, both legs way to long for my little one (but they can be rolled, and that just means that he can wear them for longer!) I'm just getting ready to go scrapbook with a very dear friend of mine, but was so excited about my longies that I wanted to post some pics really quick. So here they are!

The pics of Jake wearing them... top one is the front, the bottom pic is the back. (You can't tell because I didn't include the rest of his body!) The other (middle) pic is with the legs unrolled, so you can see *how* long they are!!!

Recent Obsessions!

Jake: his TOES! He wants to eat them!

Kevin: He rotates between real estate, cycling, golfing, diving, boats (to name a few!)

Daisy: the squirrel that frequents our yard (and her food dish)

Me: at the moment, knitting. (Along with my other ongoing hobbies, aka: obsessions)

So I'm teaching myself to knit. I wanted to learn so that I could whip up a pair of longies for Jake. HA! HA! With hand knitting, there is no "whipping up" of anything (at least not for beginners!) So I cheated and got a circle loom. Still learning the art of hand-knitting, but at least I can make a quick project on the loom in the mean time.

Longies... I had never heard of them until cloth. If you've ever cloth diapered, you know that baby clothes aren't made to accommodate cloth baby butts! Longies are wool diaper covers and pants all in one. (As the weather cools, we can't have those bare legs anymore!) If you haven't already clicked on any of the "longies" links above, check out these super cute ones: CrankyPants (click on it, it'll link you to the webpage). I love them!! Here's a pair of more plain LlamaJama ones too.

Just a few more pics... These aren't the same as hand-knitted ones, but here are pics of Jake in his 2 first pairs of longies! (They are "recycled", made from old wool sweaters. I got them from someone whose son didn't fit into them anymore).
