I Wish I Were

Camping with my love.

Friday Finds

Just here to share some of the fabulous things I stumbled across this week.

A blog post on marriage that I really needed to read this week.

A sweet little online childrens book of clever poetry. Quite shel silverstein-esque, wouldn't you say?

A lovely little valentines day announcement.

I'm loving Elise Blaha, and all her crafty projects to pieces!

This lady is AMAZING! She knows what's up.

Tiny T's

 Made Hazel some "Tiny Ts" from this tutorial/pattern! I used some knit fabric with a tiny heart print I had laying around, and some of my old knit shirts. I did have to size the pattern up a bit, but the first one looked a little large, so I sized it back down a little. I'll have to play with the pattern resizing, I managed to make it a little baggy in the front, but overall it's super cute!

 And, for good measure, my smiling babe.

There's been talk of a lovely bunkhouse in the backyard, with a loft bedroom, a tiny kitchen, a modern outhouse, and an outdoor shower. The works.  mmm doesn't it sound dreamy?

The things I said I'd never do

Before I had Hazel I would watch other women who had children. I would scrutinize their every move. It was like I had a running tally in my head of pluses and minuses. Some moms definitely struck out. As I examined these mothers and their methods I made mental notes of things I would never do as a mother. Let me tell you something; As good as it is to feel prepared, to believe that you are ready, and that you know what you are doing, until you have a kid you have no idea. Oh, and that list of things I would never do? I bet I do at least one of those things every single day.

That is my baby gnawing on an unwashed unpeeled banana. Peeled bananas get mushy all over the carpet and her clothes. An unwashed unpeeled banana that I am sure is not Organic. An unwashed unpeeled banana that most likely has pesticide residue on the peel.....and probably germs from people's germy hands.

Just for fun...

Yes, Please!

GET on my finger!

Crafty Inspiration

I get very ambitious about my knitting skills when I see cardigans like this. I should probably start it in a 5T size, to give me 5 years to complete it!

My mom took a knitting class for this tiny baby sweater. It took her about two weeks. I bet I could do it in a few months if I was diligent. It is the perfect sweater.
