The other day I attended an open house for a friend of mine who will soon be welcoming her fifth child into the world. I love trying to make something by hand for my expectant friends, and this time I really had fun with it. I purchased a package of white Onesies then went to town decorating each one. This stork silhouette was found online then printed onto inkjet transfer paper and ironed on. The kids and I were watching "James and the Giant Peach" while I was making these, and Mr. Earthworm became the inspiration for this one. :) Does he look familiar? That's one of my trusty ol' birdy designs from my shoe making days. And of course, this will be a proud reminder of her baby boy's lucky number. This one was my favorite, but I was so excited about it that I muffed the first try by ironing it on upside down! First I found the image of the ticket online, then used Photoshop to add the text and printed it onto transfer paper. The fix came by printing another image, ironing it onto a small bit of white fabric then stitching it over the upside down image on the Onesie. I tucked a flannel receiving blanket down into a thrifted basket then added a pair of Diddle Dumpling baby shoes and surrounded them with the Onesies. A little ric-rac tied around the basket for some color, and I think overall the effect is charming!

Well.. after weeks of talking about baby knits on my podcast, I think it is HIGH TIME that I actually share them with you here on the blog! As you know, I've been preparing for the arrival of our baby boy due in less than a month! I've knit several baby things but have been too busy to blog about them. SO.. over the next few weeks, prepare to see a lot of tiny baby, knitted, cuteness. There is a lot to catch up on! First up.. Baby Sophisticate. Maybe the fastest, cutest newborn sweater EVER? This is one awesome pattern that you can find for free on Ravelry HERE. I knit the whole sweater and a matching hat in just a few days using only one skein of Malabrigo Worsted in the taupe colorway. I used Kate Oates Adventure Hat pattern from her new book Math For Hats. It turned out great! Perfect future baby shower present? I think so!

SKEINS: Purl Soho’s Santolina, Shirt: 1 (1, 1, 1) skein; Dress: 2 (2, 2, 2) skeins SIZES: 0-6 months (6-12 months, 12-18 months, 18-24 months) TO FIT: 16½ (18, 19, 20) -inch chest with 1-2 inches of ease COLOR: Winter Green

A great Dutch girl costume hat for Festival times, Dutch dress up parties or any other occasion where traditional Dutch costumes are being highlighted. Approximate Dimensions (Length x Width x Height): Child-10.5x6x7.5" Adult-14x8x9.25" Material Type: Polyester Color: White

Kate was sporting what looked to be the same pair of dark mid-length Penelope Chilvers boots that she wore when she first dated William as she arrived in Bella Bella, Canada.

Today is a very special day for our family. Today is the day that we officially adopt our little girl whom we have fostered for the past year and a half! We couldn't be happier! I've made this little keepsake to remember the day by and I wanted to share it with you! What started out as an inexpensive thrift store print in a dated frame, is now a special memento that will be hung in a very special little girl's sweet pink room! Of course I used Chalk Paint® Decorative Paint by Annie Sloan to makeover the frame, and I painted right over the mountain scene to create the backdrop for the gold shoes. I just love these little shoes! They were on some sweet little feet last Christmas, so they are sentimental as well! Thank you for stopping by and sharing in our joy today! Best Wishes and Blessings!
