And FINALLY this little guy is DONE!





This little guy has gone to his new home.










And Friends.


    I told my good friend Steph while she was pregnant with her little girl that I would make any animal she wanted out of my itty bitty toys knitting book. Amelia (my friend's baby) is now 7 months old... so this hippo is long over due! I added a few shots of a couple of the other animals I have made from this book. The giraffe and the snake. The sock monkey is from a different book, but I thought he would feel really left out if I didn't put him in this picture. I did leave out the robot I made, but he didn't seem to fit in this picture (just don't tell him.) I'm sure he will make it into some other post.

Girls Brunch!







             I decided about a month ago that I needed to throw a little brunch for my girlfriends, partially because I missed my girls and partially as an excuse to use my new coveted anthropologie plates. You can drool over them here. I am so glad I did because it was the best time ever. So much so that in the middle of the brunch I realized I forgot to take any pictures of the food before it was speedily devoured. You will see some half eaten remnants in the photos here. On the menu were divine pumpkin pancakes stolen from good ol' Martha, homemade rolls (don't mind if I do,) a frittata -also a Martha steal, with some homemade syrup and whipped cream! I also made some delicious ginger and sugar cookies the day before. Out did myself a little I think. As you can tell by these pictures, we had ourselves a good time! Already missing all you girls :)

              Hello Blogosphere, I have come to join your ranks! I'm putting my little life on this keyboard and computer screen and sending it out into the Universe with the click of a button! I really don't know how I am going to find time to do a blog, but I figure that if all these other people with way crazier lives than I do have time for a blog then I do too. Right??? I won't say much about myself because *let's be honest* most people reading this right now probably already know me pretty well. (Hi Mom.) And if you don't, well you can figure out who I am on the way as you read my little hum dee dum blog. Not really sure what is going to be in this blog. I'm a wife, mom, knitter, lab rat, home cook, yogi, and on occasion a runner and a rock climber. Guess I'll just feel it out as I go along. Whew. Glad I got that awkward first intro post out of the way. Onward and Upwards.
