What is with the no blogging?!

Matching Jammies
*I had to show off the cuteness that is my nieces and nephew in their matching pajamas! Awwww, so cute! I love their little hands, holding Amelia so gently and sweetly...hopefully the sweetness lasts! :)*

All 3 Little Ones

I have no real excuse for not blogging all of last week. I was busy and whenever I would have a moment to sit and think...it seemed like I had nothing to say. I made it through the week though, and even got some knitting finished! I finished up my Koolhaas hat and I forgot to take a picture of it before I stuck it in the shop as a sample. I'm going to run by there this afternoon and take a picture, so that will be shown to ya tomorrow. I love how it turned out! The lettuce colored Mmmmmalabrigo is just so vivid and bright. I'm getting so close to finishing a couple projects...hopefully in the next few days I'll get some knitting in. My baby surprise jacket was put on hold while I knit the Koolhaas hat, but I'm closing in on the finish line. I'm so so close! The Super-Girly-Striped sweater for Alice has been brought back out of the WIP basket. She got all excited when she saw me working on it, even though she didn't remember it was for her. She told me that the colors were pretty...imagine that! She picked them out, silly girl! (here's another shot of the sweater when I first started knitting it. This one just makes me laugh) I need to just keep on working away at my WIP's I really haven't allowed myself to start anything new...even though the urge is there to cast on for spring and summer stuff. The one thing that I did start is my Bird-in-Hand mittens, but those are for a class, so they don't count! (pitures this week hopefully!)

What else have I been up to? I've been on a bit of a yarn buying spree lately. For no reason at all other than when I don't have time to knit, I buy yarn! So...maybe this week...I'll share a little bit of my madness with you, if you want me to.

Your nieces and nephew are simply gorgeous! How old are Liam and Alice now?

Alice is 3 and a half, Liam is 19 months. They are getting SO big! and SO cute! :)

I used to think that Liam was all Drew, but he looks a bit like Chad in that pic!!! I wanted to leave a clever comment... "if... you... want me to... " but I couldn't remember the rest of the song.

Oh my gosh. They are soooo cute! Can't really see Amelia's face, but I know she is a cutie too!

Drew and I are always saying how Liam reminds us of Chad, but in that pic where his face is saying, I'm not so sure about this baby thing, he reminds us a lot of a certain other middle child who wasn't too keen on bringing a baby home (read Stacey 28 years ago!) LOL

I would love to see pictures of your new yarn!

I think you are right about the yarn shopping....the less time I have to knit, the more time I spend on my Knitting Fantasy Life and that includes buying YARN! Plus, I always love your color choices--they are so inspiring!

Owwwww, the kids are sooooooo cute! Great pictures! :) How fun to be an aunt and be so close to them so you can spend a lot of time with them!

Can't wait to see the new goods! :)
