Disneyland maybe??

Okay, so I haven't told any Aurora stories lately. That kid cracks me up daily. She is so funny and creative. I think one of the down falls of a creative mind is scary dreams. She has only had a few, and truthfully I think the thought of them is worse than the actual dreams, but she prays ever night (yes, I know it is shocking, but my kids do pray) that she won't have scary dreams. The other night she added a new twist. The is what she said "Heavenly Father, thank you for my good day. Thank you I could go to school and thank you for my mom and dad and sister. Please help that I don't have scary dreams......but fun dreams are okay, like Disneyland maybe?" I had to leave the room so I didn't upset her with my laughing! We haven't been to Disneyland, but we do watch Charlie and Lola everyday on the Disney Channel. I knew we were in trouble when she came to me one day and said "Mom, did you know there is a place we can go and visit all our Playhouse Disney friends??" Oh that kid!!

So I promised pictures of Eve's birthday. I also want to show you pictures of the sweater I did for Eve. The collar didn't turn out as nice as I wanted, but after my 3rd attempt I decided it was good enough. I sure looks cute on though!! I am also going to show you a pic of the new kitty doll, Shanna. I love that the girls promptly name all the new creations.

A new obsession!

Okay, so now all I want to do is make little stuffed toys and knit them up things to wear!! LOL I forgot to show you all the little sweater I made for Mia. It also fits the kitty I made tonight, but I still need to finish up the face, so you will have to wait to see her. I did however finish the cutest bunny in the whole world. Want to see???? I got the pattern here. You have to check Hillary out. She is amazing! I have all of her patterns now and will be making them regularly. I can't wait to get started on the space girls for Aurora and Eve! For now, here is the bunny:


































Seriously cute right?? (only answer if you agree! I am just looking for praise here!) I gave this little bunny and her reversible dress to my mom. I am still thinking about making her a little male companion......we will see. I also promised more dresses so she has seasonal options. Now I just need to figure out how to make Pilgrim and Santa dresses for her. :) Don't worry, I haven't given up knitting. I just needed a breather after finishing the sweater I did for Eve's birthday. Yes, it is finished, I just haven't snapped any pictures yet. I will do that soon. I should also post the picture I took at Eve's party. Yes, just one.....well okay, there were three, but they are all of her and the cake. How do people run a party and take pictures??? I am not that talented! I will post those pics in a day or so. For now, I am tired, it is the wee hours of the morning and I am going to sneak a few hours of sleep in before I need to get on with my Sunday.

Say hello to Mia!

Thursday is Eve's 2nd birthday. I cannot believe my baby is already 2 years old. My, how the time has flown. I wanted to get her something special so I found a really sweet 9 inch Waldorf doll that looks like the little sister to Aurora's doll Rena. For some reason I put off buying it, and when I went to purchase it a couple of weeks ago no longer available. I was heart broken. We decided on some other gifts, but just haven't been satisfied. So last night I decided to go ahead and make a doll for Eve. I have been eyeing these dolls for months. I finally bought the pattern a few weeks ago, but last night I decided to brave my temperamental sewing machine and give it a shot. She's got lots of "character", but for my first attempt I am rather pleased! What do you think?


Now to finish Eve's sweater.....and maybe even a felted crown???? How fast do you think I can knit? :)
