Emma's new skirt...

But, Sophie is wearing it. I followed the pattern, the length is irrelevant of my gauge but yet, it is perfect for Sophie. This was supposed to fit a 4 year old, not an extremely petite 2 year old. Oh well, Emma wasn't thrilled with the lack of pink. I love it on Sophie, and we are moving on. I bought the pattern from Purl Soho, it is a mac & me pattern and it was really easy to make. I loved that it was knit in the round - I am a big fan of that. I am about to start on a sweater for Sophie and it is not in the round - someone should do that. Do you know of a kiddo sweater pattern that is mostly in the round??? I would love to know.

Oh, the pressure

Well, as I see day 8 drawing to a close, I am realizing that this is just so much pressure. You blog girls who did a month of photography posting are pretty impressive in my book. I have missed a day yet again - and really it just couldn't be helped. Yesterday was a rather busy day just because it was and today we spent over 5 hours in the studio. Taking pictures. That counts right? Even if I can't put them up here, I did take them. Lots of them too. In the meantime, yesterday's picture should suffice. See, I got the paper dolls set from Wee Wonderfuls for my girl - who is just so incredibly girly. I had a small snag in printing them, but then we were in full swing ahead on these. I am now just cutting, cutting, cutting. Oh, and yesterday in one of the slower moments of the day - the youngest member of our family (yes, Sophie) - well, she knocked over Emma's cup and spilled milk all over the page of dresses. Serious trauma here - Emma was bursting over with excitement that I was almost ready to cut out the doll dresses for her because we all know that every special girl has a special dress. Especially when she is four. So, here is Kit - standing tall and pretty as can be. She really wants something cute to wear but I think I am too worn out (oh, we also built a playhouse out in the back yard tonight - it takes about five hours to complete).

A new beginning

I once was a "blogger" but I was enticed by another blog offering and so I left. What I discovered is "it may be possible to find a better blog, but not for free". So, here I am coming back to the old and comfortable chair where I first made my blogging debut. I hope to stick around for a while.
About the name. Since my first blog experience I have added to my family another baby girl. "BIG E" is my first born... dear, sweet Emma. "little s" is of course my darling Sophie. They are so different and so wonderful. They make me proud to be their mama every single day.
About my blog. I hope to use and abuse this space to share my experiences - happy, funny, sad, etc., to share my work - photography, knitting, sewing, etc., and to become my own best critic - you know, the one who reminds you to get out and exercise, eat healthy, think twice about a frivolous purchase, and the many, many other thoughts, ideas, and actions that you may think are a good idea.
I am looking forward to getting both feet in the water and splashing around a bit!
