big sister

I thought she would be jealous.  But instead she has been pretty enamored.  Where ever Emmaline is, Addie is usually not far away.  When Addie went out with me and my mom the other day she was asking where Emmaline was...

And today, when we asked if she wanted to hold Emmaline, Addie said "yes" for the first time!  She held her for a long time and then asked to hold her again a few minutes later.  She's gonna be a great big sister :)

In other news, with my mom here to help, I've found a few minutes to work on a little project I've been thinking about since I saw it's inspiration on Pinterest.  Here is a little peak at the beginnings of my test pattern.  I will show you more once I finish this up, hopefully in the next couple days :)

wip list: crochet pillow

I made these flower granny squares a couple years ago thinking they would make a fun throw pillow, but they sat and sat in the bottom of my yarn bucket until about 6 months ago when I cleaned out my yarn and took them to Miss Mary's (the lady who taught me and Regan to crochet). The next time we visited she surprised me by stitching them together and putting that pretty boarder around the edge. I thanked her and brought home my pillow top only to let it sit in my WIP pile until I uncovered in last week.I was happy to cross another thing on my WIP list, only 4 projects left!

wip list: pillows for bed

My bed is finally starting to look complete with some fun pillow cases and throws to match the quilt. It is so much more fun to make the bed in the morning when it all goes together so nicely :)
I'm still working on my WIP list. I've got a few more things crossed off, like some pajama pants I made for the boy's (sorry, no pictures) and a crochet project that has been sitting in my yarn bucket for months (will post pics of that soon).

crossing things off the wip list

I finally fixed these napkins I made almost two years ago. I did not realize until it was too late that the backing fabric was NOT prewashed and so they were all wonky when I washed them! I tried to live with it but couldn't so they sat in the WIP pile for 6 months before my mom ripped them all apart for me and then went back to the WIP pile to be worked on only when feeling really guilty that they were STILL in the WIP pile. I am glad to say that they are D.O.N.E.!
