To you, with love

You aren't even born yet, and you are loved. You are loved by a mass of people who are anticipating your imminent arrival and love you for who you are and who you will become. We love you already, in spite of your parents (who are a little weird, but you'll figure that out sooner or later). We already say your name when we say prayers before bed. At least your 4 year old cousin does, every night.

We love you even though we won't be there when you arrive. We will send you this blankie full of love and kisses and hugs and slobbers. And we will meet you as soon as we can....


(A blankie, for our newest niece/nephew/cousin - due to arrive at the beginning of April)

One-a-baby, Two-a-baby

One-a-baby (for a baby girl due in April)


Two-a-baby (for my new niece or nephew due in April)

Three-a-baby, Four. (I don't think there's any more babies to knit for....is there?)

The Never-ending Button Dilemma

A baby is due to arrive in our family (extended family, that is). The baby sweater is done and quite adorable, I think.


(I do think it's a little too "girly" for a boy though. The jury is still out)

So my current dilemma, as usual, is the buttons.

I give you 3 choices (well 4 actually):

1. The eclectic look

2. The tarnished button look


3. Baby blue button look


4. Back to the drawing board.

Let me know what you think.
