Hey! Do you want to hear some great news? Baby is sleeping from 10 p.m. until 6 a.m.!! Do you know what this means? It means my brain is starting to function on the closer side of normal. I actually sewed this week! It's the first sewing I've done in almost 3 months! Unfortunately, I didn't quite finish it. But I should have it finished for next Friday - it's the Amy Butler LOVE quilt I've been working on for the baby. I'll make it her, I'm-sleeping-through-the-night gift. I just ordered the rest of the fabric for her bedding too, so I'm excited to get all that put together! Now, if I could just figure out what beds to get the older kids so that I can put her in the crib instead of the pack-n-play...
So, because I don't have anything of my own (again), and I forgot to coordinate with Leslie who was going to guest post for me (she's been with us since the beginning and always has fun things to share. Sorry Leslie!), I have another item to feature that I received as a baby gift.
If you've been reading here for a bit you might have heard why I named my blog what I did. My dear neighbor is a VERY creative person and excellent knitter. I had no words when I opened her gift.
She knit the blanket and the figures and then appliqued them to the blanket. Seriously! The talent!

My favorite part of the the knitted picture is the ponytails! So cute!
