Special Olympians Scarf

For all you knitters and "hookers" out there, how about using your imagination and talents for a cause?

Lion Brand has a list of local organizations looking for handmade warmer-uppers.

JoAnn Fabrics also has a blog which mentions Lion Brand but also a campaign for the Special Olympics and Warm Up America. Materials for the blue and white scarves for the Special Olympians are available on the JoAnn website (plus a 40% discount for one item and free shipping).

a-pah?

Noelle says "apah" all the time, which is Korean for Daddy. Of course she doesn't know that she's saying it, but she happened to say it when I was recording her during a giggling session with her new 'do...

I also found this cute bootee pattern and used 4ply yarn and an "I" hook. I like this pattern because it uses heavier weight yarn, which I like to use because I'm lazy and it works up quicker than "baby" yarn.

ajoomah vest and first tooth

I made this vest and i think she looks like a little ajoomah in it...all she needs is some gold net slippers! haha! Notice also the cute argyle BabyLegs. babysnazz was having a sale so I stocked up - couldn't resist the sale...:-(


In other news, the kid cut her first tooth! This is her teething face.

Thanksgiving

To the goodness of the Lord this year on my life, I have no words. My heart is full...

Procrastination and Paper Roses

So I was inspired by the coffee filter roses on Martha Stewart (via Homemade by Jill) and decided to try making my own quicker version out of tissue paper. The whole cutting petals thing can be reserved for when I'm not going to school and scrambling to soothe my yowling, teething baby (pic 3). I am pretty proud of the result...I used them to decorate a card box for my friend's wedding, which is today. Yay!

Creepy Crawly

Noelle can scoot forward a bit...had to pick her up though...she sounded so pitiful...
