Learn to Crochet: Baby step 1: Making a slip knot and foundation chain.

I've started a crochet tutorial on my facebook fan page. Please check it out!

Baby girl outfit

Ok, so I still need to weave in the rest of the ends, but the crocheted baby girl outfit is done!

Forget what I said about size before, this is an 18 month outfit I'm pretty sure. Before I confirm the size, I need to try it on a little friend of mine first.

The makings of a cute baby girl outfit

Not sure what size it will end up. Supposed to be 6 months, but I usually crochet bigger than the size so I am using a smaller hook, but I think it might end up being smaller than 6 months. This is the top, there will be matching pants too.

It's a Boy!

Oops, can't tell you yet! These just went out in the mail today.

Family Vacation

We had a whirlwind family tour these past two weeks and we really enjoyed our vacation. We went to Florida for J's grandparents 50th anniversary and visited his other grandfather as well. Then we headed up to North Carolina for a visit with my parents. They kept B while J and I had a nice 3 night trip to the beach @ Wilmington. Then back to my parents house for one more night to pick up B and on to J's parents in South Carolina where we had a goodbye party for his sister who is going to China for 2 years. We had a great time, but it sure is good to be home. Here are a few pics, we didn't take a whole lot.

updates

Well, we were rained out the first attempt at the handmade sale and ended up still making about $60 overall. We had a REDO Friday and did well, but only sold 3 handmade things I think.

We are still going though. We are planning another in October and already have one person who wants us to email her when we are having it!

In other news, we are still awaiting the word on the gender of our newest little one--we will be able to find out soon after the 4th. We tried to convince the doctor to let us find out before our upcoming trip, but he wouldn't!

We are going to be going on some much needed vacation. In addition to going to FL for Jonathan's grandparents' 50th anniversary party and SC for his sister's goodbye party (they will spend 2 years in China), we will also be going to NC to see my parents. And we will be dropping off little B with my parents and heading to Wilmington for some Mommy/Daddy alone time!

We love our little B, but we are so excited to have some much needed date and relaxation time.

Check back after our trip for pictures and an update on my little lima bean. :)

Oh, also, I have the possibility of some wholesale business coming for my Etsy site and I am really looking forward to seeing what comes of that!
