Yoked Cardigan

 

I didn't mean to be gone so long, but I got a little under the weather for a few days. It was yucky! Now about the cardigan! She loves it!! And so do I! This girl of mine waited (not so patiently) for the last three days of knitting for this cardigan to be finished and gave me the motivation needed to get it off the needles. She is a purple addict these days, and a tutu addict, and a cowboy boot addict....but the purple was perfect for her because it goes well with a lot of her clothes and it's her favorite color . She already picks her own outfits out, with a little help from me, according to the weather I may try to talk her into or out of more layers. This little Claire Bells Sassafrass Caffee has a style all her own! (You can check out my Ravelry notes HERE)

I've knitted a couple of other small things in the last few days since finishing this and now I'm working on a cardigan for Penny. Maddie is saying now that she needs one too, I love that they like the things I make still!

I'm on the hunt for a knitting pattern for little boots like THESE. I want to knit a pair for the new baby and a pair for Penny Pie (11 months old). Do you have any pattern suggestions? How adorable are those?! I LOVE them!

Baby knitting will start soon too! I can't believe that I'm already half way through this pregnancy! I'm slowing down lately, I'm down to only being active for about a third of the day now. My old "friend" preterm labor is seeing to that. I'm hopeful this time that I can stay off medicines a little longer, I'm trying some natural ways to slow labor. If you have any natural tips or tricks for slowing labor I'd love to hear them. I'm really feeling good about this! Last time I made it all the way to 37 weeks for the first time ever. It still feels good to say I was FULL TERM at least once! Well I better run. It's nap time around these parts and if I don't get a jump on it we will soon have meltdowns. :) xo, Sam

What a great looking sweater. My first thought when I saw the booties were the Cutiest Booties by the Yarn Harlot but with ribbing

Cute sweater! The booties remind me of a mukluk slipper. I'm sure there are very similar patterns on Ravelry. Do a search for slipper sock, boot slipper or stay on baby bootie. I KNOW in my search for stay on baby booties there have been knee high variations in the project photos of a few patterns! I just don't remember the pattern names.

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 ...

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 ...

The Family Closet

It's another gray day so the pictures aren't great, but I wanted to get these posted since I have a few minutes. The family closet has changed my life people!! It has taken my most overwhelming chore from crazy to totally doable. We had to start in the laundry room because that is were most of this process starts. These storage racks went on sale for 69$ right after Christmas and we got 3. We also got several of the $3.50 Steralite clothes baskets because they fit side by side perfectly. In the laundry room I now have baskets labeled (Whites, Towels, Darks, Reds & Purples -we have a lot of those!) to separate clothes into, baskets marked "Clean" for clean clothes, a place for storage (extra dish cloths, table cloths, socks that need a mate). The laundry room is much less intimidating now, I actually like going in there! I also now have room for my drying rack in here! I painted a huge henna design on the wall to pretty it up a bit. :) The Caffee sign ...
