More teeth already!? (and) SURPRISE! « »
Wow! I read in one of those “what your baby will do when” books that there’s a rule of four with baby teeth. Four teeth in four months. We’re already on tooth three, and four’s peeking through since I took this!
These top ones are a lot bigger than those teensey bottom ones were, and they seem to be moving right on in! Mazie’s doing pretty well with them, thank goodness. They don’t seem to be bothering her as much as they look like they would.
In Knitting news, I was given my first ever surprise party on Sunday!!
My knitting group lured me over to Marjorie’s on the premise of a “Mother-daughter day” with Marjorie and her mom. And when I walked in the door…SURPRISE! They had organized a tea party for the release of Glam Knits. I really had no idea that they were planning it. And everyone came, too. Even Becky who just had surgery, and Marsha, who owns a sewing shop and works all weekend! It was just so sweet and amazing. Cindy brought all of her vintage hats for us to wear.
Even Mazie got to wear one.
Knitting has started up again over here Chez Glam. I’m working on a pattern for publication, and the needles are smoking. I’ve knit up 3 and a half balls of Therapi since last night, and have exactly that much left to go.
Here’s a sneak peek:
We’re also full steam ahead on the new Mission Falls Spring ‘09 booklet. I don’t have any designs in it (too booked at the moment) but I’m coordinating. It’s going to be CUTE.
As I have a spare moment, I’m still making little shoes. These are so addictive! They’re so fast to whip together, and the color and stitch combos are just endless. I think I’ve got 8 or 9 pairs so far. I *might* enter a few in the fair.
Here are the two newest pairs of shoes I’ve made:
The pair on the right are soft natural-colored suede with lavender soles, turquoise topstitching, and turquoise heart applique. The other ones are the same suede, but with pink soles and stars on top. I found that I can use the decorative stitches that my machine does on the leather. I really think it adds to the look!
