Being Busy

I know it's been a little while since I've updated. . .it's been a busy couple of weeks here, as I've been trying to plan for the fall/winter season and keep up with new cocoon colors, diving into my Lovely organic cotton, all while caring for my precious family. My now 4-month-old daughter has become, as my husband likes to call her now, "Kid Daughter". Remember those dolls from the 80s, My Buddy and Kid Sister, with the jingle, "Kid Sister, Kid Sister, wherever I go, you're gonna go"...? Well, that's her now. She LOVES to be with Momma all the time, in my arms. She's my shadow, and everywhere I go, she's gotta go. We water the garden together, dress her brothers together, grab a snack together, and even shop online together (etsy of course - just bought new delicious yarn for this upcoming cooler season, more on that later). As long as it only takes one hand, so I can hold her with the other, we're set. She is my little snuggling darling, and doesn't want to sit even a foot away from me. Is she spoiled? Mmmm, probably. It's ok though. . .to everything there is a season, and this one, although I don't get as much physically accomplished, our hearts are knitting together, and we're going to savor this while it lasts. . . at least until she warms up to my oldest a tad more and he can hold her some. :D haha.
Anyways, I have gotten to work on some wool toddler hats in glorious oranges, blues and cream. I will probably be listing those in a week or two. I also did some toadstool baby hats last week, as well as some more cocoon sets. My most favorite and extensive project has been those new organic cotton baby hats. I love the colors, fun and vibrant, and the yarn is the softest stuff I think I've ever worked with. I am trying to get about a dozen completed before posting, just for fun, so within the week I should be sharing those. Here is one picture, however, of some of the yarns. The deal with this posting? Order anything from my shop, mention my blog at checkout, and get 10% off refunded via paypal. Thanks for reading!
