What kid doesn’t love a pocket-sized friend? I made these tiny bunnies for the girls on Easter. (from a free pattern! Details on my ravelry project page) I tried to keep them a secret as I knitted tiny bodies and skinny little arms and legs. I bravely knit in front of the girls, knowing they [...]

We have a houseguest and the kids are really grumpy on this Saturday morning so here’s a quick post for you. A re-post actually. I want to share a link to my free pattern for a felt clover perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. Turn it into a hair clip, lapel pin or just a little [...]

I’ve had this sweater sitting around for a while. I’m not sure where it came from or why I have it because it is too small for me and it’s a wool/cotton blend so I can’t shrink it down and turn it into cute Sesame Seed Design hats. Instead of tossing it into the goodwill [...]
It’s coming! Just this morning, totally unprompted, Sairshe broke out in a dramatic and boisterous rendition of Jingle Bells. It was mid photo shoot, when she was supposed to be cute and calm for the camera (more on that in a minute), but was a reminder that we are in the blink of time that [...]

My kindergartener needed an apron for school. They kids bake bread and soup each week so a child sized apron was on the school supply list. Of course I decided to sew her one. We made a trip to the fabric store and Sairshe picked out a bright floral fabric and some lime green pompoms. [...]

Little Sesame turns 2 tomorrow and we had her party on Saturday. It was a hot, sunny day but luckily our backyard had plenty of shade. Here’s her birthday banner in action. There were plenty of friends for Mike and I to hang out with but little Sesame had some buddies to play with too. [...]

My kiddo is just about to turn 2! It feels like time is flying by but then it also feels like little Sesame has been with us a lot longer than just 2 years. I barely remember life before her sometimes! We’re having a birthday bash this weekend and I whipped up this cute and [...]

I love this little dress! Like everything I’ve knit recently, it’s making wasn’t without a near-disaster. It was almost ruined when I put it on the little ungrateful toddler and she had a screaming fit and yanked at it so hard that she totally stretched out the buttonholes and I was afraid for the hand-stitching. [...]
Is Twitter! Oh, Twitter, how much do I love thee. Here’s the thing readers. I’m on Facebook but I just don’t really get it. There are too many things going on -groups and games and I’m supposed to write on someone’s wall?!- and all I ever really logged on for was to see if anyone [...]

It has been so hot lately! It’s been in the 90s and for a while there I thought I was going to melt. It’s only May and it’s been gray and rainy for so long that I am really not adjusted to the sunshine! My knitting has taken a bit of a back seat …
