Inside the head of a 3-year-old.

Just because I don't want to forget these...

According to Piglet,
Washing machines are made in Washington.
Curry is eaten in Korea.
Many germs live in Germany.
Someone who talks a lot [ie. herself] is talky.
And my favorite,
Mulberry is a berry that grows at the mall.

I don't think I would ever be able to come up with these...

Baby craft 01.

I'm slowly getting back to sewing again. SO many baby projects swirling in my head [I should really make a list], so little time to actually make them materialize. The sucky thing with baby projects is that babies grow too fast. For example, I made an applique onesie the other day and did not have get to finish because I ran out of matching thread. By the time I made a trip to the fabric store, it was already getting too small for the baby. Anyway, I did make a little wristlet for diapers and wipes using this tutorial. I added an inside pocket for little baggies for soiled diapers. I love this fabric and am happy with how it turned out but next time I think I will use interfacing on the front/lining part of the bag. The good thing about this project, aside from the fact that it's easy and fast, is that it will get lots of use for a long time. I could even use it to carry little things around after baby is out of diapers. Yay.













































I've also been eyeing a lot of flannel lately. Just want something soft next to baby's skin. I really want to make a blanket but here are some quick burp cloths I stitched up. Flannel on the front, chanille on the back. Easy, easy.

Photo session.

With mama. Need to do this more often as the girls are growing up so fast.

Especially this little one ::



















































Big sister loves little sister so much ::

Larry and Bob.

Meeting them made her day. These days, when Piglet is up means the Veggie Tales songs are on. In the house, in the car, everywhere.

It's a house full of girls...

...is what Piglet proclaimed today as daddy is out of the country and it's just us plus my mom around here.

Big sister who likes to put her own shoes on ::



















A while back I won this nursing cover giveaway. I haven't used it much for nursing but it is great for covering baby's carseat since she seems to like napping in it. I wanted to make myself one using some cute fabric. So that's how this came about.

Carseat/nursing cover ::



















Reversible ::



















Guess she's not a fan of Amy Butler, though ::

1 month!

Happy 1 month, baby!













Time does fly...

New sleepwear

For a long time, Piglet was into Maisy. So much so, that she WAS Maisy. She told everyone she met that Maisy was her name. I eventually stopped correcting her and decided to enjoy this phase of her childhood. Well, guess the Maisy phase is over, because now she is Strawberry Shortcake. That's what she told her Sunday school teachers today. I'm quite enjoying this and bought her some "strawberry" pajamas. By the way, I wish they hadn't modernized Strawberry Shortcake. That stinks...


Speaking of pajamas, this is one of the best inventions ever. Baby outgrew all her receiving/swaddling blankets so I decided to give it a try despite its price tag [35 bucks!]. In my experience, this is about the only thing that keeps baby arms tucked under all night. And no flailing arms = sleeping baby. She's still far from sleeping through the night [not that I expect that from a 4 week old] but she could do a pretty long stretch in this. I bought a second one just so that I don't have to wash it everyday. I seem to be justifying all my new baby purchases by telling myself I'll pass them on to my sister, who is due in January. Hmm, not the best photo. I barely had any lighting as I took this photo as fast as I could and ran out of the baby's room before she could wake up.
