« Are you sure it’s July already NEXT WEEK?! Glam Knit workshop in Alexandria! »
I’ve had this blog post in the works for DAYS « »
…but things keep popping up!
Like today, for instance. I thought I’d have all day to get some stuff done. Photos uploaded to Flickr, get my Ravelry notebook updated, finish up some pattern math, and other computer-y things like that.
But then. Mazie had her 6-month “well-baby” visit. And you know what that means. SHOTS. She had THREE shots today. Shots + Mazie = screaming, tears (which are SO hard to see!) and just general malaise. So instead of getting to the computer and getting my shiznit taken care of…I’ve been trying to get her to go to sleep. Finally, she’s sleeping in her swing. Hopefully long enough for me to get this post posted!
So I told you that I had a bunch of early July deadlines and that I was exhausted from that. Well, I’m still finishing up a couple details on two of them. Fortunately, I should be able to get everything done today. It’s eating at me, though, I hate it when stuff (through my own fault, of course) just lingers on and on.
ANYWAY…in the meantime, and as a relaxer, I guess, I’ve been finishing up some projects. You can see them randomly sprinkled through the post…there’s a quilt (three, actually) and a Clapotis, and a sock, and even a sweater or two.
I’ve got a big fun event coming this fall, and I’ll tell you more about that tomorrow if I can get to the computer!
(Yarn that I dyed)
Today in the waiting room at her doctor, Mazie started a conversation with the lady next to us. The lady was in a wheelchair, and was sitting with a guy who could have been her son or grandson. She was speaking Spanish and Mazie was just loving her. She (Mazie) was bouncing up and down and flapping her arms and clapping and telling a really detailed, really loud story.
The lady was commenting on Mazie’s chubby cheeks and asked her companion for the translation for the word “Gordita” (Which I’ve heard many, many times in reference to the Mazer…) and the guy turns to me and leveled his eyes at me and just says one word, with a really bored expression. “Fat.” And looked away. It was so funny!
The people across the room started going, “NO! It means chubby! It’s just chubby! Not fat!!” Anyway, she gets called “Gordita linda” all the time. People come up and talk to her wherever we go, and a lot of them want to touch her…I’ve even had strangers ask to hold her.
It’s so interesting, because before Mazie, i could just walk through the shops or downtown and not talk to anyone, but now we stop and talk to everyone! I like it!
Mazie’s 6-month stats:
height: 27 inches
weight: 21 lbs. 10 oz.

I am loving the candy-rainbow-sherbet colors of that dress! I can’t decide if I would rather eat it or wear it.
Well, I think Mazie is just beautiful. I can see why people want to touch her and pick her up. And she just has that face that makes you smile from within.
I am actually happy that you posted today because I was getting withdrawal from your posts (or non post?)
Any updates on the book?
Ooh, I must know more about that sock!
I hope Maize gets over the “shot ickies” soon.
I love the Cleo!!! Can’t wait for it to appear in the shop.
Mazie couldn’t be cuter!!! I would want to hold her if we met on the street, too.
that koolaid/cake dye job is the best I’ve seen in a looooong time!
gordita linda, indeed! look at those *cheeks*! i want to smoosh her with kisses!
