Here is the dress to go with the diaper cover and hat. I just realized the pictures I got are not very good, but hey, I was in a hurry before Sam’s little hands tried to ‘help out’ with picture taking.
And here is the whole outfit together.

Diaper Cover
Part of a big order (hat, dress, diaper cover). Now that I know how to make these, I might be making a bunch of wool ones for our Tiny Tong #2! I think they’re adorable. It’s a bit too big for Sam to model, so you just get to see the shots of it alone. Sorry. I know it’s not nearly as fun to see pictures of knitted baby stuff laying on the floor.
It’s got this great ribbing in the area between the legs making it nice and stretchy and sure to fit for a long time.
And the nice thing is, you can add any kind of ruffles or whatever you want to the backside of it. If we have a girl I am definitely adding ruffles to the butt. I can’t think of anything cuter than ruffle-butts on baby girls!
I’ll post the rest of the outfit tomorrow, so you can see the dress, hat and cover all together. I think it’s mighty cute!
Ruffle Hat
A custom order for a ruffle hat, that will eventually go with a dress and bloomer set that someone ordered.
And yes, I had to bribe my kid with my juice bottle just to get him to pose for these pictures. Without it, pictures looked like this.
So I let him have it.
Working on some bigger projects right now, (Like a hammock! Hah!) so there hasn’t been a lot to show on the ol’ blog. We have gotten completely unpacked now, which feels great, and we are absolutely loving our new hours. We’re withing close walking distance of 4 outdoor parks and one indoor squishy park for those yucky days. We love our duplex-neighbors, they’ve got two cute little girlies! We have a huge yard, and I’ve already gotten a teeny bitty garden started (Two tomato plants, a bit of mint and some pepper plants) but am planning on adding to that soon with some Farmer’s Market starts!
Tomorrow morning is Sam’s 9month well child check, so I’ll be posting his nine month pictures, along with his stats tomorrow. We’re hoping for some good weight gain! Oooh, also, I got another stash of cloth diapers today, so I’ll be blogging about those as well this week, cuz they are CUH-YUTE! (Who’da thunk I’d ever be obsessed with diapers? Haha)
Racing Hat
A custom order for a racing hat! Supposed to be checkered like the racing flag!
Sam wasn’t thrilled about modeling.
But he isn’t thrilled about modeling anything these days. That means sitting still long enough for mama to get a picture. He’s not a fan of sitting still at all.
But speaking of Sam, he is doing much better! He is sleeping better and eating better and gaining weight! He’s *almost* 16 lbs now! He gained 11oz inbetween his appointments, which were just over 2 weeks apart, which is fantastic weight gain, especially for him. He is much happier now and very, very active. He is trying to walk now, which is crazy! He hasn’t successfully actually done any walking, but he will walk with the push toy and walk along furniture. The house is a bit turned upside down right now because we are in the midst of packing and moving, he likes playing “baby in a box”and he’s loved playing with the boxes and newspapers. We are pretty thrilled with his reaction to the medication and we hope it continues to work and he’ll keep on gaining weight!
Rastafarian Beanie
I had someone request a Rastafarian colored beanie.
You don’t get to see it on, because it was a man-sized beanie and my husband wasn’t home.
It will probably be a bit quiet the next few weeks because we are moving in 4 days! I am so excited about the new place, but we still have a lot of work to do between now and Saturday! I will be sure to post some pictures of our Memorial Day adventures to Couer d’Alene!
Creepy Crawly Caterpillar
A custom caterpillar! I used felt for the eyes, and I think it works pretty well. What do you think?
And of course, my new Knittybutton tags, which I am IN LOVE WITH!
Brown Cabled Cardigan
I really didn’t mean to take the entire week off from blogging, it just sort of ended up happening that way. Plus, I didn’t really have anything new to show you as I’ve been working on this sweater for the majority of the week. And it’s been shipped off now, so I can start on my plethora of other orders still waiting to see the light of day.
Sweet Baby Caps for Sale!
An order fell thru so I have two of these sweet baby caps for sale! They are ready to ship. They are 0-6m size, one is green on green and the other is blue on blue. $25 each (Plus $3 shipping) or $45 for both! Email me at lexikaye@gmail.com if you are interested in either or both. I could get them shipped that day.
There is normally a 6-8 week waiting list, so snap this up if you have been wanting a Knittybutton hat for your little one.
If you are curious what they look like on (They have kind of a unique shape!) here is Sam wearing his.
Whoooo Whoooo
My dear friend Sandra asked me if I would be willing to try to make a pink owl for her lovely daughter Sophia’s nursery. Sophia’s nursery is absolutely GORGEOUS and I love the pink owl theme she has! (I’m totally jealous) anyway, so she sent me this picture of the type of owl that her nursery is decorated with.
And this is what I came up with!
I’m pretty pleased with how the curious little birdie turned out! I love doing custom projects like these- so much fun! Sophia, I hope you enjoy your owl!
Girly Elephant
A custom order for a girly elephant.
Have a great weekend!
