My husband told me I should update my blog, because people are concerned. So here I am. Everything is okay. I’m finding my way with this new mommy gig. So breastfeeding. Yup, we’re still doing it. But I did have another blocked duct about a week ago. It sucked. Again. But again, it cleared up…

Meet Fox & Hedgehog
One of my bigger projects I’ve had on my baby-prep to-do list has been to make some quilted pillowcases for the baby’s room. I have an old Ikea chair that I’ve put in the room but it has quite a lean on it (it also bounces lightly which should be good for those unhappy hours…
Loveable Elephant
Did you know there are apparently two ways to spell loveable? Lovable and loveable. Who knew. I made this guy once before for my friend Alice’s little boy, her first child. I’ve wanted to make him again ever since, so this time I made him for my baby. The pattern is Lovable Toys from the…
Baby Drool Bandanas
Before Christmas I had a whole day visit with my pal Angie and her baby Nathan wherein Angie downloaded virtually every bit of new-mommy info she possibly could — and I gratefully ate it all up. One of her words of advice was to make a whole bunch of baby drool bandanas. You can buy…
Leafy Baby Blanket
I recently finished up this blanket and gifted it to a coworker who is about to go on maternity leave this week. It’s a relatively simple lace pattern, despite looking rather complex. What I found to be most unusual with this pattern was that the lace stitches are worked on both the right and wrong…
The Force is strong with this one
It’s time for a FO! Actually I finished this project quite quickly, back in October, but I didn’t want to post it because it was a Christmas prezzie for my not-so-wee nephew, Magnus (almost four months old). I searched around for a pattern for a baby sweater that would have some room to grow with…
It’s raining babies
We had very a family-filled weekend with house guests and two baby events on Sunday. Chris’s niece, Sydney, was baptized and on Sunday afternoon my brother and sister-in-law arrived in town for a few hours to catch a show, and I got to spend some quality time with my seven (wee!) week old nephew, Magnus….
I have a nephew!
Word came last night at about 11:30 that my new (and first!) nephew has arrived! Magnus Daniel Mulholland was born at 10:18 pm on September 3, 2008, weighing 8 lbs 4 oz. This has been a difficult pregnancy for my sister-in-law due to blood pressure problems so the delivery was induced after some stress tests…
Bear to be Loved
I have a nephew in the oven. Oh sure, I’ve had lots of seudo-nieces and nephews arrive over the last few years but this one is my first blood-relative real live nephew! He’s due to arrive late in September, which is just perfect because I too am a Virgo and Virgos are pretty terrific. I’ve…
