Curly Toys

I just got these crazy curlers in the mail, ordered from amazon. Hopefully they give me the desired look. (They did just fine, but, sorry, no pic.)


And Little Miss likes to play, literally, IN the toy box.

Squares!

I'm almost halfway through the blanket I'm knitting for Morgana. Here's all the squares I have so far. There are 9 colors and each color needs10 squares.

Addition To The Bedtime Routine

My friend, Christy, came to have lunch with us yesterday and brought us some tomatoes from her garden. They are always so good!


Yesterday, I made some marshmallow treats with Kix. None of us where eating the Kix cereal, so I used them up. They were a little stale, but my hubby and our roommate liked them.


I started on color 5 of 9 for Morgana's blanket. This is square 1 of 10 for the yellow. I also picked up some elastic headbands for a dollar a pack at the craft store today so I can make Morgana some headbands with disassembled fake flowers, little crochet flowers and buttons. My friend Michelle also gave me some of the same kind of headbands a few weeks ago. I hope to sell stuff like this in my Etsy shop, once I get it going. Hopefully sooner than later. Keep an ear out for my grand opening!


My sister donated an old cell phone to the "Entertain Momo Foundation". She loves it!


I gave Little Miss some plastic peanut butter lids while I was making frosting. She hasn't stopped playing with them yet tonight. I threw away her metal ones after my husband brought it to my attention that they aren't good for her and her teeth. Good call, hubby!


I finished up the rest of the banana cupcake batter today. Left are peanut butter iced (with my hubby in mind, who loves peanut butter and banana sandwiches) and the right are chocolate iced.


Morgana got her very own toothbrush and paste for her new teefers! She had her first toothbrushing tonight. After she watched me brush my teeth first, she did quite well with it.

We went to the city library today and they have this head mobile made of little hanging books.


I crocheted button embellishments for our closet curtain. And that's the book I got from the library today called "The No-Cry Sleep Solution". Morgana is currently fully co-sleeping, which is really great, but we would like her to soon be able to get to sleep on her own or at least sleep in her crib. I currently have to sit with her through all her naps to make sure she doesn't fall off the bed and we are getting concerned about her safety with her becoming more mobile.






We had dinner at the best pizza place in downtown Salt Lake City. The Pie Hole. If you're ever in Salt Lake, you must go. I had a slice of potato bacon and of pepper, tomato and spinach.

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!
