    a little break and a little bear

    It's one of those years - one month it's April and the next time I actually have craft content, it's October!  The summer has flown by.  We got back a couple of weeks ago from a trip to the East Coast, and I'll post photos (including Rob knitting!) but I wanted to post a project I just finished.

    It's my fourth Baby Bobbi Bear, made once again with Pakucho Organic Cotton, this time in Chocolate.  It's such a great pattern.  It took me a couple of nights and reminded me why I love to knit!  And who is this bear for?

    What is this freaky picture?  I'm scared!  Well, it's Baby J, due in February!  Rob and I are having a little marirob.  More Mari than Rob (hopefully) since it's a girl.  That's how I spent my summer, trying to beat the heat and sleeping more than I ever have in my life.  There is already a myriad of baby craft projects going on in my head... I'm going to try to get them done while I'm feeling good.  Rob is planning some manly crafts of his own too!  Stay tuned!

    I think I see a hand, an arm. 3d makes everything so disarmingly *real*.

    Congratulations to the both of you!

    Yay!!!! (Aren't the 3-D ultrasounds freaky? Our poor little one looked like she was missing the back of her head.)

    Congrats to you both! It looked like whipped cream at first, but now that you mention it, I do see a little ear and face in there. :-)
    Best wishes, Kris

    Woah, I've never had a 3D ultrasound before... they're kind of freaky but really cool at the same time! I'm so excited for you guys. Having a girl has been such a gift! Love!
