We’re packing right now, so it might be a bit slow ’round the blog the next few weeks.
Sorry ’bout that, folks.

Baby Sweater
Two down, two to go. Most recently finished:
And good thing, this next baby shower is tomorrow morning.
I’ll keep you posted on the rest of them.
Baby-Sweater-Fest
I haven’t been blogging, we’ve been busy, but mostly for the reason that we’re having a lot of upcoming baby showers, and I’ve been knitting up baby sweaters like crazy. A little taste:
and also I need a bit of help. Which buttons would you use?
Another one:
and also I need some help. The buttons will be on the top, fastening the neck opening. Are the flowers a bit too cutesy? When in doubt the plainer is a bit better, however, the flowers are pretty darn cute.
And another work in progress.
It’s currently in the blocking process. There will be a big collar, a similar one to I made for Ezra a while back. Kind of an old-man type sweater. I love it.
And this was our yard sale score! There weren’t many good sales on Saturday, but this one we found in our FRONT YARD! The girl who lives upstairs was having a yard-sale, and it’s still residing in our kitchen, because of the move we’ve got nowhere to put it, but hopefully it’ll be our new nightstand for the bedroom.
And it’s got my birthday flowers on it!
So go back and let me know which buttons I should use for the sweaters!
More Birthday goodies!
One of my very bestest friends, Autumn, soon to be wed, made these Scrabble Pillows for Paul and I! Aren’t they ADORABLE?! I LOVE them. They are so cute, sitting on our couch.
She made them herself! She painted on the letters with fabric paint, and sewed them and everything! What crafty friends I have.
They make me want to start up a Scrabble competition with the hubby right now!
and Charissa got me some lovely office stuff, and made me a cute flower bracelet! And she even has a DIY up on her blog, so you can make your own!
What amazing friends I have!
Nigel’s Hoodie
Making another hoodie, this time for baby Nigel. What a cutie! Can’t wait for the baby shower. Making it the same pattern as I made the hoodie for Ezra.
So, it will basically be like this one, modeled by beautiful baby Ez, only green and with a few tweaks.
I’ll keep you updated!
Buttony-Finished.
I finished the Buttony Sweater this evening! I love it. I haven’t blocked it yet, obviously, but wanted to show you all.
I’m pretty much in love with it. And planning on wearing it to work tomorrow.
Not the most flattering view, but it was taken from the couch.
But I am up pasty my bedtime, so goodnight.
Crazy Awesome Weekend.
So this weekend we had my friends Charissa and Autumn, as well as my brother Aaron and his girlfriend Cynthia out to visit, because we were having a show. We had a lot of fun, and it was a very, very busy weekend. We planned a pre-show BBQ, because we were having our concert in a barn, so it seemed appropriate. But we got the grill out there and it was out of propane. Oops. So we had people run back into town, but even so, the burgers took forever to cook and we ended up starting the show about an hour late, but once it got going we had an awesome time.
There was plenty of time to socialize while waiting for the burgers to cook.
And Paul’s mother, Diane, was nice enough to be one of our opening acts. She is absolutely an incredible musician! (No wonder Paul is so musically gifted, because his dad can rock out, too!)
We played in this amazing barn out in the rolling hills of the Palouse. It was gorgeous out there, although it did get a little chilly.
Pretty cool, huh? And yes, Paul was playing accordion on that song!
Check out our myspace page to hear some of the music.
P.S. A big shout-out to Isaiah Eyre for all of the amazing photography!
Buttony Update
Since I’ve been home sick, I’ve gotten alot done on my Buttony Sweater while lying on the couch coughing and feeling pretty gross. When I was gone last weekend to Tacoma Paul wasn’t feeling well, and thought it was allergies, but when I got home and got the same thing 2 days later, well, we’re pretty sure it’s not allergies! But I digress, the Buttony:
I’ve almost completed the bodice. About 4-5 more inches to go until I end the bottom. And then just adding sleeves (which to me is the worst part, I don’t know why)
But I DO love how the raglan style does sleeves. It looks like I sewed it together, but it’s all ONE piece, which is great because seaming is pretty much the lamest thing ever. Ever.
Ew. That picture makes it look gross and acrylic. It’s not, people. It’s made out of my fav Eco wool.
By the time I finish it I probably won’t have the weather to wear it until next fall, however, as we’re still getting snow flurries and freezing nights, I think I might get a chance if I finish it up soon!
A quick link for you, Charissa posted a super cute DIY for a fun, bold necklace. I am definitly going to try it out, so you should, too!
