It's been raining here for three days (and it's expected to rain for the rest of the week), and while that may not be so good for little boys who need to run and play outside, it's been great for Mama's craft time. I guess it's all about balance. ;) Here are a few things I finished up this weekend, with more coming tomorrow.
My mom used to dress my three sisters and I in matching clothes all the time. And we hated it. And we swore we would NEVER do that to OUR children. Yeah, well, sorry boys.....it's just too much damn fun. Sadly, I used almost all of this fabric that I love--it's from the Makower UK collection, and I stumbled on it for $1 a yard at a local surplus store--very sweet. Thanks to Nana (aka the Buttonhole Queen) for her help once again. And hey, I finally figured out a way to make Ezra pose for the camera--wait till he's asleep!! ;)
And here are the fingerless mitts from Weekend Knitting by Melanie Falick. I have made these mitts for so many gifts in the past two years, but this is my first pair for me! I used some leftovers of the merino worsted from Hand Painted Yarn (sanfelipeysantiago on Ebay), which I just adore--it reminds me a lot of Manos Del Uruguay. But sadly, they've been out of stock on the worsted merino for quite a while now. Good thing I'm a yarn hoarder and I still have a bunch in my stash.
