Another custom order. I’ve never made a shawl like this before, so it was a bit of an experiment.

Rainbow Bright Dress.
I had someone send me a picture of a dress they liked and wanted to know if I could recreate it. I had a lot of trouble finding any kind of similar yarn, so I just kind of did my own thing and hoped for the best. So here is my Rainbow Bright dress.
The little girl I babysit kindly modeled it for me!
I know it’s a little bright, but I really like it!

Happy Easter!
We had a great Easter weekend, and got to spend it with good friends. Nothing like fellowshipping around a huge Greek feast! I meant to take pictures, but of course I forgot.
Buy I did get some good pictures on Saturday!
Sam is wearing a onesie that I bought for Ezra when I was in Paris back in 2009. I love it, it’s one of my favorite things I bought on that trip! I wish I had bought more baby clothes, but at the time I wasn’t exactly thinking of babies…
And just a heads up, I might be a bit quiet on the blog front this week- I am babysitting another little kiddo during the week, so I don’t have quite as much time to devote to the ol’ Knittybutton! I won’t forget about the Giveaway, though, so don’t forget to check back tomorrow to find out who won!
Dancing Sam
Sam likes to let loose.
Just a little outtake from our Photo shoot on Tuesday. Happy Weekend!
Month 7
Time for Samuel’s monthly pictures!
Here’s a link to Month 1, and Month 2, Month 3, Month 4, Month 5, and Month 6 in case you missed them! And here is a link to a page that I’ll be updating every month with all of the pictures together, so you can see them side by side!
I feel like all 3 of these pictures accurately represent Sam’s personality this month…

This has been a fun month for Sam. He’s able to scooch around on the floor and he is much happier being mobile! He is getting into EVERYTHING and loving it. Nothing in the house is safe anymore! He’s getting harder to take pictures of because he never, ever stops moving! He’s our little Hammy-Sam!

Retro Style
So, a few weeks back I found this really cool retro/mod dress at The Storm Cellar. I really, really love it.
And Paul had made Amaretto Sours after church, so it just went really well with the whole ensemble.
I rarely find retro/vintage dresses in my size, so it was quite a find for me!
Also, I have a question for you knitter/seamstresses/crocheters, etc out there. I’d like to have some tags for my handknit things, (Something similar to what Vicki over at Dover & Madden uses) but I want them to have Knittybutton on them. Any of you ever used an online place to order them? I’d love to use one that someone out there could recommend.
Avacado? I don’t think so.
On our mission trying to fatten Samuel up we’ve been trying some ‘fatty’ foods, including avacado. I thought he would like it…but apparently he did not. He had a rather violent reaction to it and about 30 seconds after this video ended he promptly threw it all up. It was rather disgusting! If you are short on time, I’d skip to about the 35 second mark, that’s where things really get good.
Since he didn’t react well to the avacado, we’ve since tried mixing it with applesauce and oatmeal, but it’s still a no-go. Although he does seem to really like the coconut oil mixed in with his carrots and sweet potatoes! I tasted them and they are TASTY! Mmm mmm mmm!
Also, can I just share my excitement for a moment? I got myself a mom-mobile! (Aka Dodge Caravan)
I’m so excited. And this could not come at a better time, because I am now babysitting a 9 month old girl 3 days a week, and let me tell you, trying to get anywhere with two carseats in my TINY two door car…well, that just wasn’t working very well at all. I’m so excited about my new minivan. I know a lot of people don’t dig the mini-vans, but I totally love them! So spacious! So nice for hauling babies!
Did anyone get any mean tricks played on them yesterday? Paul knows better than to try to play and pranks on me! I don’t respond well to pranks.
