Gracie Knits

Yummy!

These past couple of weeks we have started introducing Ladybug to the wonders of real food.  I have to say that it was a struggle at first, but she is slowly learning that food is good.  Wait until she tries chocolate!

I snapped this picture of her this morning.  I'm sure it will be good blackmail when she gets to be a teenager and might show up at a photo montage when she is a senior in high school. 

Other than discovering food, things are swimming along here.  I've been planting pots out on the porch and it looks very nice and spring-like.  I decided that since I tend to kill plants in the ground, I'll try plants in pots this season.  If we are successful, then we may move to the ground. 

I'm in the homestretch of my Sockret Pal's socks and soon to start my Blooming Feet socks - I can't wait to work with STR. 

And, not to be outdone, Olive needed to get on in the action.  Here she is before Kathleen's birthday surprise luau.

We're Back!

The little Ladybug, Olive and I packed up and headed to Atlanta to visit family for a week or so and ended up staying longer than what we thought!  We got back at the end of last week, so I am trying to get caught up on everything including housework and all of my daily blog reads!  Isn't it a shame that laundry continues even after we leave?  I've decided that men produce way too much laundry. 

But, we had a good time visiting family, it was nice to be able to be at home.  We went to the Atlanta Sewing and Quilt Expo and that was great fun.  There were more yarn vendors this year, which was nice to see.  I bought some yarn and got an autographed copy of Inspired Cable Knits.  Very exciting.  Pictures of those to come. 

In other exciting news Philip is going to India for 2 weeks in a month or so.  We have a friend getting married and he is going for all of the wedding festivities.  While he is gone, the house is going to be painted.  ;)

Thank goodness for a baby carrier!  This is Ladybug and I from this past weekend.  Philip has been playing frisbee golf lately and we go and walk along with him.  It is good exercise for me, and company for Philip.  Ladybug has had enough and is asleep. 

Yay!  I finished one of my Sockret Pal's socks and have started on the next one.  Pictures of that when I can find the camera...
