Rhino Romper



So my first big project, well at least my first big project that I didn't learn at knitting class the socks are pretty hard to do unless someone shows you :) I first started knitting at the end of 2010 because I couldn't find any nice sweater for Mya only cardigans, I did a couple of pairs of socks I've made a few hats but nothing even close to the sweaters I planned on making at the start.  So now with beautiful baby Jade to knit for too I thought I would start with a small project for her (little baby little project lol) and so I started the Rhino Romper http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rhino-romper  This is the link for the pattern from ravelry.com a awesome website (thanks Grace) and I think it turned out pretty well I started on Sep 1st and have been doing a hour or 2 on a night after the kids are in bed and this is how it looks I just need to add the buttons and its all done.  

Sweater


So I started a new project, using the same pattern as the little romper I made Jade I decided to make a sweater for Mya unfortunately I made the largest size in the pattern and its too small so now its sitting unfinished on my desk while I decide if I want to finish it and use it for Jade next year or frog it and start over again with a different pattern or try to increase this pattern on my own.  In the meantime I have found a really cool pattern for a hat that I want to try so maybe I will take a break from the sweaters and go back to the easy stuff lol except this pattern isn't that easy but we shall see.

Potty Training

Mya went poop on the potty yeah!!! For those who don't know Mya has refused point blank to use the potty if I let her run naked she will hold it in till nap/bed time when I put a diaper on her rather than use it. She isn't scared of it in fact she will sit on it for ages watching tv or reading a book just won't pee or poop in it for some reason and screams if I tell her to use it. Tonight she went all on her own and didn't even tell me she did anything lol maybe it's because when I tell her to go she knows I'm expecting something and she is scared to do something wrong, I don't know what or why tonight is different but I'm really proud of my little princess :)

Jade is on the move

That's right my little girl just turned 4 months and is already rolling front to back and back to front, surprised me completely with this early this morning I had just got her out of bed laid her on the floor for a minute while I got myself organized and within seconds of me laying her down over she went, was awesome can't believe she can do it, I guess that's what happens when you have a big sister running around and you want to run around too lol.

Hello and Welcome

Hi,

Decided I needed to start a blog, why? because anyone that knows me knows I have a lot to say and not everyone wants to hear all about me, my house, my kids and not forgetting my knitting :) so now you can read it or leave it.
