Mr. Petrie made Miss Petrie a tank top. The yarn is a very breathable cotton. It boggles my mind that Mr. Petrie taught himself to knit and now is able to make us all kinds of clothes. Mr. Petrie is now working on a kimono sweater in the same yarn for Miss Petrie Deux. It’s [...]
We have lots of these all over the house: Flowers and candles make the house seem fresh and smell good and a new pair of Dansko clogs help me move around more comfortably. Have a splendid day.
My dad has a longtime co-worker and she sent the sweetest gift to Miss Petrie Deux. The sweater and hat are so soft and the color is a perfect shade of blush pink. A blanket was also included with the set. I love handmade gifts!
As you may remember, I horde Miss Petrie’s gifts from her birthday and Christmas so she can play with them on the proverbial rainy day. Well, those rainy days are now! Today we got out a set of 14” paper dolls and Miss Petrie put two of them together. This set made me think that [...]
I had three new posts with pictures and the pictures I uploaded to Flickr didn’t actually upload. Blah! And the pictures that did upload didn’t get put into the correct set. Rats!! Anyway, we’re adjusting to having a baby in the house. She is a really calm baby. She is still sleeping a lot and [...]
Thanks to the DIY Show Off for hosting this fun linky party: I love sewing with felt. I made this banner for my little girl’s bed for Valentine’s Day 2009. The sewing took me some time to finish, but the result is bright and cheery for an often cold and dreary month. Each heart took [...]
We’ve been home from the hospital for a couple of days. My parents took good care of Miss Petrie, our dogs, and our home. Thanks Mom and Dad! It was wonderful to come home to a clean house. Since we still have lots of the important baby gear, we didn’t really need any new baby [...]
Miss Petrie and I went to a paint-your-own-ceramics store and had lots of fun painting our chosen objects. I painted a flower pot. It certainly looks home-made! It was so relaxing to sit and paint for an hour. It was a great activity for Miss Petrie, too. She painted a puppy with all the colors [...]
We could not be happier!
Mr. Petrie has knitted Baby Deux some adorable hats. But, they were a little too big for a newborn, so he made two tiny hats. I placed a larger hat next to the newborn hats so you could see the size comparison. Mr. Petrie used blue and green merino wool for the other hat, but [...]
