the zoo....last month

went to the zoo for two buck tuesday last month and I didn't post pics. well partly cause I didn't take the camera. We were with our MDC friends, Allison, Michael, and Marah. The boys had a blast. When we sat for lunch, Madison was trying to climb back up to the table and slipped on her dress and bit her tongue really good, so we left so I could contact the doc. :( She's all betta and it really didn't phase her)
so before we head to the zoo tomorrow, I thought I'd post some pics.

oh and my lil pirate girl all dress up for a party.

Easter

I finished the pair of capris for an mdc mama. It's the belladonna design. I'm trading them for a mt with wrap style straps with a tie dyed panel. The yarn used is Noro Kureyon 153.


I had some extra coloring left from egg dying and I used it on the yarn. I had to add some more dye, wilton's, to finish the skein. the second pic is it all wound into a ball. it's fingering weight and not a lot of it so I think I might do a little pair of socks for M or maybe a scarf/mini shawl for me.

some fo's and the kids

I whipped up a little hat for one of Eric's coworker's wife who is do anyday now. It's sock yarn that I found and made a little ribbed baby hat for them. It totally reminds me of a half knitted sock. Or maybe a toe cover if you had a cast.
The dress is LTK Smocked Frock out of some dk yarn that I found at a LYS. From my understanding the previous owner of the LYS hand dyed it herself. I haven't blocked it yet, the bottom is still curled up. Miss M loves it.

And while the sun was out this past week, the kids were able to get out and play for a little bit. That's Miss M all cheesy smiles in the truck. Once Cman realized that I had the camera out, he started posing. eye ya eye. So there he is, sitting on the play kitchen. Where's my rolling eyes smiley?
