Here is a little update on the belly... and how huge it is getting!!! I feel like I'm carrying around a really heavy basketball!



Then there were all these cute baby clothes! The green striped pants and green sweater are reversible! I think this may come in handy with a messy little baby. (and check out those teeny little booties!)
I also have some other baby goodies to put away. When my mom was down, I forgot to mention, she brought some baby stuff for me.
This was a sweater suit that I wore when I was little. It was also worn by both my brothers. It's in great shape for going through us all!
This cute bib and slippers were made by the Hutterites in Manitoba.

Oh, and here are some pictures of the finished Cobblestone Pullover, with Dave.


I think he may be really happy with it...

A couple days ago I got a nice big package in the mail from Manitoba. It's not my birthday and it's a while until Christmas so I had no idea what it could be. It was from my cousin and aunt. When I opened it this is what I found...
A cute baby gift basket! Oh, and books!!! Baby books!!
The classic, Goodnight moon and a much less known "petrifying parody" Goodnight Goon! Goodnight goon is cute and funny.
It is all just too cute! It put a huge smile on my face. It also made me start thinking that the baby room should be put together soon. I want to be able to put away all these little clothes!
I also have some other baby goodies to put away. When my mom was down, I forgot to mention, she brought some baby stuff for me.
She brought some of my old baby clothes!!!
Then there were some knitted clothes from my past...



All of these were made by my Great Auntie Marg, for when I was a baby! They are all made out of Acrylic, so no special yarn, but aren't they cute! Oh, and the blanket! I don't know how she could have that much patience to make a blanket that big! I think I would have given up on it a quarter of the way through.
Mom, also brought something new...

I also have a quick knitting update. I have been knitting, for me now. I am working on the Greengable Hoodie from Vogue knitting. I am using Brown Sheep Shepherd's Shades in Thunderstorm. (The yarn I was going to use to make Wisteria... which I have now given up on)
I made one big change to the pattern. I changed it from a sweater to a cardigan. (that way I can wear it this year...) So far it is going quite quick. I love all the cables! Hopefully it will be done soon so I can wear it!

Ooooh.. I was thinking of doing the greengable hoodie. I like the idea of turning it into a cardigan, tho. cool beans.
cute baby clothes!
nice work on the sweater.
Weird question for you ... but is Dave from Liverpool? He looks soooo familiar (I swear I used to work with him at McDonald's when he was a teenager). If he's not from here, he has a twin (also named Dave!).
