Yarn Along


Knitting socks for my girl. I cast these on about a week before I had Thomas so that I would have some simple knitting to take to the hospital with me. I love the wildness of the striping. These just make me happy. :) No reading for me lately (besides blogs) with a 6 week old in the house. I do need to pick up a book soon though, there are several sitting around here waiting for me to read. Go see Ginny for more knitting and reading fun!

{Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real}

round button chicken
Yay my first PHFR!
{Pretty, Happy}

Isn't she lovely?


I suppose handsome is a better word for these two.

Some of you may be confused by this one but if you knew my love affair with butter and spiced breads/cakes... Both pretty and happy here. Also, it may look like a TON of butter (ok who am I kidding, it is... hey I am nursing a baby here) but that slice of cooked carrot oatmeal bread is at least an inch thick.
And I love these wild/fun/girly socks I am knitting for little miss Belle.

{Funny}
Found in a random place on the floor. Notice the cupcake liner.

My "gloves" so I wouldn't burn myself when I touched the hot pan.

"Say Cheese" (tiny playdough camera)

{Real}

Battling some diaper rash around here. Trying this because I have read it is both effective and doesn't cause repelling on cloth diapers which my beloved California Baby diaper creme seems to cause.

And finally, I call this one "life with a newborn and two year old". Five weeks is still newborn right? Somebody say yes because this mess... oy! This is pretty much my whole house in a snapshot folks. I took a picture of the kitchen but it was too scary to post. Go visit Like Mother Like Daughter (try the button up top) for more Pretty Happy Funny Real!
Also, more real here, that ring on my finger in the funny shot-as in my ENGAGEMENT ring- is now missing. :( I let my daughter look at it at bedtime and forgot to ask for it back, now we can't find it. It may not look like much but my husband and I were high school sweethearts (well I was in high school anyway) and when he proposed we were young and poor. I love that ring and everything it represents more than you can imagine... please pray we find it in the morning.

*UPDATE*
My darling daughter 'found' the ring in her pocket this morning (after I asked her if there was anything in her pockets- I had a suspicion). She was thrilled and so was I!
