Teeth, Taco & Tongue

She has two teeth! Have to take the pic of her teeth while she was napping. Otherwise, it's impossible. (Click for larger views.)


Made taco soup in the crock pot for dinner tonight. Left out the onion and green pepper and added green beans.


SNB friend, Sarah, hosted last week's meeting at her house, destashed and gave away some yarn. Now I need to put it away.


I made this closet curtain also from a bedsheet. I'll crochet buttons for the ruffle in aqua.


She learned how to stick out her tongue and now does is constantly.

To Groovy Pumpkin:

No, I didn't make the pink monkey. That was a Walmart monkey for Valentine's Day!

Going Bananas

A little while ago, Kate asked me to teach her crochet again and then she made this hat!!! I'm so proud and so glad she asked me to teach her again. She even taught herself how to read patterns and do different stitches other than single crochet from the internet. She says she likes crochet better than knit. So, again, I'm glad she asked me to teach her again.

My day today:


The girls had a wrestling match.


I made homemade frosting for some banana cupcakes. I keep buying bananas and not eating them since I stopped working. We've got banana everything in the fridge now.


Morgana helped make cupcakes by playing with a pickle jar lid. She also had two Goober lids.


Then, she passed out after all the cupcake baking... Because helping bake cupcakes by banging jar lids together is hard work.


So, I got some knitting on her blanket done. This is color 4 of 9. Each color needs ten squares.


Here's the cupcakes. The frosting was really super sweet. If anyone has a good buttercream recipe, please let me know.


Then, Morgana and I watched Rio.


And, I made a curtain out of a sheet to close off our master bath from our bedroom as there is only a wall between the two and a sort of hallway connecting them. I want to make one for our closet too. I have a brown sheet in mind for that.

And that was all just in the evening after dinner!

I'm way behind again.

So sorry I haven't blogged in so long, kids. But, I'm adjusting to my new job as a stay at home mom! My last day working was July 29 and Stu started his great new job on August 1. We're both so happy with how things are going. Although, Stu really misses taking care of Morgana.

I've been getting a good amount of knitting done and I'm slowly getting the house in order. Hopefully, just doing maintenance housekeeping isn't too far off. Since I am able to get some knitting done during Morgana's naps, I also hope to maybe do more blogging during naps as well. I hope to post at least once a week again. Wish me luck. I miss writing for you all and I hope you miss reading about my life as well. I hope you'll have faith in me to eventually get my groove back with blogging... and soon.

I've gotten half way through making the eclair cake for my hubby's work BBQ tomorrow. I'm excited. I'll have to take some pics.

I'll leave you with some pics.


I hope you can see them... someone's getting two teeth! (Click pic for larger view.)


Morgana's sock monkey is done!


I've also been knitting some bows for her. I made a nursing necklace as well.

I'm now working on a blanket for Morgana. It's the Patchwork Garter Baby Throw pattern from Lion Brand.

Please, please check out my photos for more wonderful pics!

Thanks to all of you who have stuck it out through the sparse posts. I really appreciate you still checking back! Hope I have more for you and more frequently!

My sad banana only looks like it's been to hell and back.

Look who's sitting up!

Thinking...

About doing a podcast with my knitting group friends.

And my publish button appears to be broken on my PC, but not my laptop. =/
