Come on Levi





I finished my nephew Levi's sweater. :) Our little Levi should be here any day now, and even though I didn't have to have this done until winter, I finished it! I felt like I had too many projects hanging over my head. Do you ever feel that way? Now I have a little ways to go on my boy blanket and then I'm starting a NEW girl blanket. Yeah, I changed my mind about the girl blanket. SO back to this little sweater... I knit this up in beautiful Spud and Chloe yarn. This was my first time ever using this yarn and I really did like it. All of the details can be found HERE on Ravelry (including a link to the free pattern!). Ahhh...finished projects sure do make a girl feel productive. :) xo, Sam

Darling sweater!!

I started a circle/pinwheel blanket awhile ago using up some cream colored yarn. It's really getting boring but not enough that I'm willing to stop or rip it back and start something else. :)

What a lovely little sweater! Hoping your nephew makes a safe and speedy entry into the world. I'm currently working on a little knitted jacket for my 2 year old son, it takes so much longer as they grow bigger...so yes, I know the feeling of many unfinished projects well. :)

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We
