New Spring Sweater!
Here is Ms. Z in her new spring sweater from Grandma June. Isn't she adorable?
Grandma made it just for her out of a cotton yarn. It has Reindeer ( we are calling them Moose) on the pockets. Well done Grandma!!!

Trip To the Zoo

This is our first trip to the Cincinnati Zoo.





Train Rides are Great!!



Crazy Monkeys!!



It was a beautiful day.
Next post will have some knitting content.

Lots of Craziness

It is time to blog finally, I know.
Life is just crazy and busy.
First of all, My baby is going to be 1 on Saturday!!! What a quick year. It has gone by so fast.

I am still trying to get my head around family, have a baby, and running a business.

We went up to our family's lake house for a very nice vacation last month, and we didn't want to come back. Ahh, but we did and it is back into the grind.

Last week my poor puppies were sick from something. They either ate something bad, we don't know. The good news is that I think they are both coming around now. But for the last week and 1/2 my DH has labeled our house the House of Vomitorim. That is my new word of the week.
Vomitorium.

You know it is bad when you 1 year laughs when the poor dog throws up.

We have had no air at the shop all week, and it was not much fun. The new ac is going in tomorrow, though so we will be back in the cool.

All kinds of silly things have happened. I feel like I should have seen multiple black cats, or walked under 20 ladders.

I did finish my sweetie's cherry dress and she had her 1 year old pictures in it today. I will post a picture of it soon.

All done

I spent all of my holiday weekend moving things and building.

I have a new yarn room/craft room. I am very excited about this. I bought a bunch of cool shelving units from Ikea a few months ago, and just now able to get it assembled. I will have to post a few pictures of it when I am totally done, but I have to say I am a little embarrassed. I could open up Lambikins East with what I have in my personal stash. AND,
I even set up my sewing machine on my new sewing area!! For those who know me, I have not gotten along in the past with sewing, but I am taking a bag class, and I am going to try to become friends with the machine.

We also set up my DH's new office furniture.
I went up and down our stairs at least 100 times this weekend.

So, new yarn room and exercise. What more could a girl want?

Sock Wars III

I have to say, I am working on my socks, however I am at turtle pace I believe.
That is ok. I will have them done soon and I will take a picture. I just don't have time for pictures yet. It is knit knit knit!!!
There was some confusion about the pattern, and I am to the heel so we will see what happens. I am doing an 8 stitch repeat, but some are doing a 9 stitch repeat. I will find out about this heel tonight.
