a fish, a hedgehog, an ebay find and a snowstorm

December 9, 2005

We are seriously considering doing the new baby’s nursery in black and white, maybe a few red accents. Inspired by this idea, I made another fish. Charlie helped me think of the contrasting yellow and purple for the eye.

A few days ago I saw this

found here thanks to Molly Chicken

and became interested in making a hedgehog. Here is my first attempt. Hmm…

And check out this fabric I got a few weeks ago on ebay

I’m not sure what to do with it yet – this is one of those yards you hate to actually cut into.

If only we were having a boy – Xenophon Bump!

It is so snowy here. Charlie stayed home from work. It is just beautiful outside. Too bad Roxy is afraid of snow and starts crying immediately when we go outside. Then, when we get back in, she insists on wearing her snow pants around the house for hours. Arrrgh.

    I love that fabric!
    I’ve been surfing around this morning and found your blog and dang, this should have been the name for MY blog! Everyone asks when I have time to knit and the answer always is, “When Girly naps!”
    She was sick yesterday and slept for 4 hours…..that was a productive one!
