We had a mini baby shower at our knit meeting this week. Jessica is expecting her first baby at the end of this month.

I designed this cake for the baby shower. I actually got the idea from the knitting book Itty Bitty Nursery's Circle's and Stripes Stroller Blanket.








And this little food coloring gnome was around to help me make the cake.


Here's the coffeehouse with the decorations. Peachy brought balloons, Michelle brought the flowers on the table, I brought the cake and Sarah brought (not shown here) plates and forks... and even more table decorations.

And of course, I knit/crocheted things for said baby shower...


A crocheted blanket...


...and a knit headband in matching colors! I just love the puffy petals!

In family news, we registered Ryn for the School of Performing Arts earlier this week, WEEEE!!! Also, Stu's graduation is coming up in June. How exciting!

Until next time...

There isn't a whole lot going on lately... except Stu had an interview with PC Laptops... and then a second interview... and then he didn't get it. We were so bummed. =( Please wish him luck in any future job hunting. He's graduating soon and will be looking full time very soon.

I've done lots of Konadicures lately. Just wish I could find a way to make them last longer than a couple days, especially cosidering that some designs are time consuming. I've been looking for Nailene Acrylic Strong topcoat, I think that's the name. I saw it on the Nails by Asami blog, she loves it. But, I haven't found it yet.

A peek at some of my recent Konadicures...




Silver tips with aqua Konad flowers.


I ordered some new Konad plates with birthday money from my grandpa. I got classic french plates (which I did not use here, they're too short) a french plate with lots of different designs (like this bow). I also got a plate with several different animals on it... including this cow on my married finger. I got this plate just for the cow on it... for Stu. (Don't pay any attention to my dry cuticles. >.< )


So, I broke the same nail, twice in one day! Soooo, I cut my nails. But, they still look so cute with these white tips with black Konad checker print, which is also on one of my new french plates.


Just a funny... cool, thing. I use Aloe Vera gel as a facial moisturizer and when I squeezed it out of the bottle one morning... it was a heart!


Just me. I took some new pics... for fun.

In needlework news...


The only news I have is that I crocheted these flower knob pulls for our bathroom medicine cabinet. I got tired of the mirror supports falling out that I substituted for the ones that didn't exsist when we moved in. Maybe I'll write a pattern!

Well, I have more laundry to fold and more crocheting to do before the night is over.

Until next time...
