You've Gotta Have Friends...

Thursday:

My Buddy Mac

Lulu loves her monkey Mac, she's often wrestling him and biting him.

Zutano

My favorite outfits are from this company (so far). I love the bright colors and design. Same brand as the monkey jumper she wore last week. Thanks Nana for this outfit. And thank you Lisa for the blanket. What a wonderful baby gifts we've been blessed with.


Friday:

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

Talking to the baby in the mirror. Mirror, mirror on the wall who's the dearest one of all.... She loves talking to her reflection but still doesn't know who the baby is.

Uncle John & Gramdma Betty at the Lake Cabin

Then we were off to spend the afternoon at the cabin with Uncle John, Uncle Bob, Grandma, Aunt Joanne and Max. Thanks Grandma for the really cute & warm designer sweatsuit.

Saturday:

Give Me That

Little Ms. Lulu Button likes to hold her own bottle from time to time. Always wants to be in control just like her mom!

Monday:

The Dressmaker

I've been making cards, very inspired but turned out one awful card that I re-created, and 4 OK cards. After 5 years (or more) I pulled out the Dressmaker to see how it worked (never used).

Zoned Out with the Toy Keeper

First I decided to make a few Pacifier Keepers, then I thought I'd stitch a pocket onto a card. I found the little 'leash' was best suited for holding onto her favorite chew toy, Nuby.

Tuesday:

Then I spent a morning with Lisa and her boys, we felted a couple balls. Thank you again for lunch Lisa. I am very glad that we met I just think the world of you!!!

Here You Are!

When I got back I hung out with Lulu (OK, she was hanging out the whole time with us) but that's a given. Lulu has a somewhat new fascination with her feet since last week.

It's really cute.
Last week she started grabbing them and is REALLY determined to hold them... I got a picture finally.

I got her down for a nap about 4pm and I decided that I can't wait for my mom to get a sewing room together and make the things that I have in my mind, and while I have out the Dressmaker... I cut some brown shopping bags and made a few patterns (I've never made a pattern in my life except for pottery templates but I figured it's gotta be close to the same idea) and then cut some cloth and took a stab at a couple hats,

The Hat

Well it was "try 2" of the hats, and someone is NOT happy about being my Guinea pig! If that look doesn't say a thousand words!

I also made curtains for the RV which turned out OK for a first time, and considering the Dressmaker is suited for... well, not much!

I just have to also mention (not pictured) that we had a good time reading today at the dinner table, she really loves her books. It was cute to see her in her chair with a book in front of her and she was touching the pages and looking at the pictures. Then she sat in my lap and listened to the whole story of The Pokey Little Puppy.
