Baby Food!Originally uploaded by nutmegknitterInspired by this book and a stick blender that is waiting to be used, I decided to make a batch of sweet potato for the baby, affectionately referred to around here as "The Lorax". The book is great, takes you through every detail as if you have never cooked or even… Continue reading Baby Food!

My "Glee" sweater is almost finished! At SnB this week I finished the bottom ribbing and a sleeve. Friday I finished the other sleeve and last night I started on the neck ribbing. I concentrated so hard on it - and today finished that part! So, all that's left is the other half of the… Continue reading Necking

A little levity for your Monday - my brother and his comedy group. Be advised, there's some harsh language.

Stash SurpriseOriginally uploaded by nutmegknitterI was digging through a stash box - it's mostly yarn I'm not wild about and / or leftovers - and I found this. It's a ribbon-yarn-scarf - I think the yarn is Plymouth Eros. It just needs a few more ends for fringe. Thing is, I hate it - I'm… Continue reading Stash Surprise

Especially touching as other friends of ours had their baby (a boy) today - they are just starting out.... Seems like so long ago that everything was so new and we had no idea what was in store for us. You… Continue reading 6 Months!

Me & My GirlOriginally uploaded by nutmegknitterHappy Mother's Day!!

I've got upwards of 50 family and friends coming over this weekend for Lorelai's baptism. Not a big problem, but a lot of prep work. This morning we found ants all over the garden window / kitchen sink window. RRGGH. Can't find where they are coming from - see nothing under the sink, there are… Continue reading Whelmed

Crying Originally uploaded by nutmegknitter I take zillions of photos. That is the only way really to get good shots - especially with kids and pets! This isn't the best picture of Lorelai but it is the most accurate reflection of her mood this week - it's been a bit of a bumpy ride getting… Continue reading Proof

Reaching and Grabbing Originally uploaded by nutmegknitter 5 months and a day! Since we were away it's taking a while to get back on track and I missed that yesterday was the 30th! We can't believe how fast you are changing - reaching and grabbing for everything! You always want to "pet" Jackson, you watch… Continue reading Reaching and Grabbing
