who thought it was a good idea to make baby medicine mint-flavored? What 3 month old eats mints?
She sees the medicine in my hand...
So, I'm trying my hand at designing some knitting patterns. Working on a slim fitting waistband, some colorwork, and some felted soakers. I love the way felted soakers work, but I need to work on making them a bit more attractive. Also trying my hand at intarsia, but the question is, how do you do intarsia in the round for non-repeating patterns? Any ideas?
The current pile of tangles...
I have an etsy shop!
A few of my etsy things...
AND Jaelyn is doing VERY well. Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. She's still healing (about 7 weeks more) but she had no problems other than a shocking case of reflux that landed her back at Shands after we had gotten her home. We are so very very happy to have her happy and healthy and home. FINALLY. :)
Strawberries
and Canteloupe
and chickens!Saffie has decided (as of last week) to guard every clutch of eggs laid. So that means that every morning, I am forced into a tense confrontation with an angry hen who refuses to move out of the nest box, and every afternoon, I get pouty (as much as a chicken can pout without lips), condemning glances from the coop when I go to collect tomatoes. Such is life.
In other news, our DD has to have heart surgery. And we're sort of...
yeah. can't even find a word. So, on the 23rd, we have to take our sweet little girl of 2 months to Shands in hopes that they can fix her heart. We're praying. And we're asking that you pray. Even those of you we don't know. Because I haven't been a mother for very long, but...you know...
But. Shaking that off (as much as possible) for a minute - Jae is quite a character. She loves (LOVES LOOOOVES) to eat. And she's growing like...a weed (original, I know). She's growing like a...canteloupe vine in June. :) She doubled her birthweight in 2 months, and is now 13 lbs. Her doctors and service providers (Early intervention, etc.) are shocked and amazed. So we're very thankful for that, and it makes waking up at 3 am for feedings (and changings) a pleasure.
And, AND! Look at this.
Have you ever SEEN such a sweet thing? It should be bottled and sold.
