Four months!

It's hard to believe our little Frances is already a chubby, smiling, cooing, four month old baby!  She is such a delightful girl!

I never can get myself to knit scarves and sweaters in the summer, so I worked on this star garland for Neva's room. She is quite pleased with them!

Crafting

I've declared this the summer of sewing!

My first project--a new bag for me, using a KWIK Sew pattern.  It was basically just four fat quarters sewn together to make a big block which is then gathered with elastic and the handles.

Then it was on to a project I've been wanting to do for a while, bonnets for the girls!  I used a fantastic pattern that I found online from this designer.  They turned out great!
