I told you I’m not very good at blogging.

I should tell you that I’m even worse when I have a toddler who is going through a sleep fighting stage battle- I am worn down. The whole “it takes a village” thing is true if for only one reason- parents need a BREAK sometimes. Anyone have a village we could borrow?

Anyway, I’m slogging through the pictures I’ve taken over the past couple months- and sometimes last month I finally photographed a bunch of things I’d made. This goes back quite a ways, though- and my brain is on strike- so, don’t expect many details.

Little kimono top from a really good tutorial.

Another little dress from Sandi Henderson’s Claire pattern- one of my favorites for little girls.

This was a quick little peasant dress from a- maybe Simplicity?- pattern.

Minky and ruffly diaper covers- really quick projects, especially wish a serger (instead of making casings, just serge the elastic to the waist and legs, fold over and stitch in place).

This one is pretty recent- Sienna pattern form LilBlueBoo. REALLY quick project- made from an old skirt and an old tank top. Took about an hour from start to finish. I’ve made a few more that haven’t been photographed yet and have a bunch more to make- they’re so cute and comfy for her!

This is months old- not even sure it fits her anymore! But, a really quick project and I love that it’s completely reversible.

A little sweater that’s not quite finished, but, maybe as finished as it ever will be. It was my first time dying wool- and I loved it!

And finally, some recently dyed yarn- I love how it looks together and can’t wait to see how it knits up!

Phew.

The squishy hat- love it! I’m going to add an i-cord flower, and call it done! Just in time for her 6m birthday in 2 days.

Half a year

Six months old! Only six months to go before our baby isn’t a baby anymore- slooooow down!!!

Yes, she sure is lovable.

Day 61

This little dress has been sitting and sitting and waiting around. I finished the top ages ago, and “finished” the skirt back in November, I think. It was horrible, though- I had no idea what I was doing! I ripped it off, serged off all the clunky seams and hem, and started over. It took all of 30 minutes to do the sewing this time, and that includes gathering and ironing and serging.

I still have to attach buttons for the straps, though! It’s a cool design- meant to fit over the course of two summers, by switching the straps from criss-crossed to straight. I think it will fit in time for spring, though!

It’s a free pattern by Natalie Larson- Two Summer Dress, for Ravelry users. Knitting AND sewing! It’s quick, it’s cute, it’s perfect- I want to make a bunch more!

Poor baby!

She’s been sick twice in a month. So has Gabe! I can’t wait for cold/flu season to be over!!! At least I held it off this time around- yay for my shredded immune system!

Oh, and the bunny hat!

It’s not going to fit at Easter. Guess I have to make another.

That little yellow bib I made…

… way back…

… it’s cute. But, it’s also going to come in handy. Someone should have been named Droolia.

Hat love.

I’m just going to have to keep working on her.

Oops.

I remember thinking that the hood seemed awfully big on this sweater as I finished it. Putting Gwen’s big head into it (15 1/2″ at her one month appt- I make bobbleheads!) confirmed it. Hood tooooo big. Too bad- it’s pretty cute! Or maybe that’s just the model.
