Yarn, sweetpea, and jimmydean


Yes! An update! I can hardly believe it myself. I've decided to copy some of my blog entries into my LJ so that it's easier for my LJ friends. werd. And yarns too, I'll post yarny stuff too! Oh, and stuff that I can't post on my blog, like juicy family gossip, sexy bits, and complaining, lots of complaining.

I can't believe that this week i got 11 yarns and 3 MHKs done -- above are a few of my favorites, check those halos, and the nifty way I've got them arranged, all small and organized. All this and I can nurse a baby that's a fiend for the boob. And she is, you know, a fiend for it. I've got porn star nipples and jimmy dean areolas, those of you that've nursed know what I mean, right? Thankfully both diminish after time, but for now, wowsa, look out, I can poke an eye and feed ya breakfast.

Life's been the strangest lately, the busiest unbusy I've ever been. The exhaustion has finally worn off though, and that's like new life. And my friends, who know that internet pals could be so sweet? First, the comments, heck, I should have a baby every entry, my highest number evah! And no padding that baby either, it's like I'm the harlot, or Eunny for a single entry. I didn't know that many people read my blog. Not only the comments -- but mail too! Cards and gifts, homemade blankets, knitted baby items, yarn, etc. Wow. Really overwhelming. Truly.



She's doing wonderfully, btw. Four weeks and if feels like forever (in a good way, like I can't imagine a time without her). Here's a pic from a few days ago, check that rocker hand! She has my hands -- perfect little replicas, down to the crooked pinkie. I read that this week she's supposed to start making sounds, you know, baby sounds other than crying, like finding her voice. I suppose she has, it's just adorable, lovely really, Bill and I both agree that it sounds closest to shifting gears without the use of a clutch. Like music to a mother's ears.

jacey--
as usual, your update induces a drool-fest. i am totally amazed and impressed that you can produce such voluminous gorgeousness with your little sweet suckler to keep you busy and in love. anyway, she is a sparkling gem, that babe. congrats again!
ps: i almost sent you a felted pilot hat for her, but had misplaced your mailing address! now, i feel it will be a bit out of season and you probably have a plethora of knitted goodies for your miss (especially since i just cleaned out the filing cabinet and found said mailing address).
i will send you the announcement when i launch the website, but so far it should be good to go when we get back from our family visits the first week of april. i will surely steal your button and put you on my links page!
best,
-shannon

shannon,

i was just thinking about you. strange. I'm so excited for you to launch, I think there needs to be more cool, compassionate spinners like you! I need to update my links, make sure they're all current etc. and add some new ones as well, yours included!

i bet the felted pilot hat is adorable! her head is so small almost none of her hats fit her and it's still so freakin' cold here, but supposed to warm up next week...i hope.

xo

i'll send the hat along to you tomorrow, then. i just didn't want you to be overloaded! there will be some chilly evenings for a good while yet, so i'm sure there will be plenty of opportunity for it to get some wear!
