Baby Bibs O Love and Baby Genius Burp Cloth
My SIL is having a baby sometime towards the end of June. I was excited because I have been dying to make some baby stuff. S0 here are my first FO's for the wee one. I made two "Baby Bib's O' Love" and one "Baby Genius Burp Cloth" from Mason Dixon Knitting. It was a super fast gift idea, and pretty mindless knitting. And I have to say they look great.

Sleeping Beauties
Ah yes, remember when you were a kid and could sleep darn near anywhere? I vaguely remember sleeping under my cousins cave like desk...it was my hideout. Well the other night I went to check on my boys and found that they had dumped the toys out of one of their toy boxes and filled it with blankets.
Scrunched up like little sardines they were sleeping angels.Of course I moved them to their bunk beds, but when I woke in the morning the little one had migrated back to the toy box. And then yesterday Levi took the lid off the toy box, grabbed the kitty bed (that he uses as a doll and stuffed animal bed) and plopped down for a nice nappy nap. Must be nice! I have a hard time sleeping on my pillowtop mattress, but these kids can just snore away in a cat bed. ¶ 7:21 AM 1 Comments

Stormy Sunrise Neckwarmer
I was finally able to work on some projects for the shop. So I decided to dig through my stash and I found a wonderful yarn that is a 50% Merino, 50% kid mohair blend that I dyed sometime in the Spring. What to do, what to do? I dug out some handspun baby alpaca and went to town! I edged the neckwarmer in the black alpaca and braided a few yards to make a free form design around the neckwarmer. Tied off with a black satin ribbon, I am in love! It is so soft and warm...and it fits in a really cool way. I like the fact that you can move the ribbon around to get different fits. Definately going to have to make some more of these!
