Still can't find the camera...


But I guess that doesn't mean I can't post, huh? We are officially moved in, although we still have boxes to unpack. So far we haven't had any nasty surprises. We love the new house, and we're settling in just fine. I'll post photos if I ever find the camera(s).

In the meantime, how about a book review?

Cover


The lovely folks at the Penguin Group sent me this book to review -- "Wacky Baby Knits." The book contains "20 knitted designs for the fashion-conscious toddler." I don't have any photos of the contents, but you can see more and download some of the patterns online here.

The book includes a short "how-to" section for new knitters. The pictures are easy to follow, and I think it would be helpful for the brand new knitter. Then we have hats, mittens, jackets and outfits just to name a few. My favorite section is the hat section. I especially love the Mohawk hat and the Flying Helmet.

The wacky little outfits are really over the top. There's a cow, a frog and a pirate suit (sounds like the opening line of a joke, huh?). There's also a crazy robot suit, a biker jacket and a tutu. All of these would make super cute Halloween outfits.

All in all, it's a super cute book with options for anyone. The Flying Helmet hat would make a great baby shower gift, while the frog outfit would make a great toddler costume. Check out this book on Amazon today!

It's almost here!

Photo(2)

This photo was taken the day we decided to purchase this house 9 weeks ago... before we even knew that we "got" the house. Now the grass is green and the previous occupants have gone.

Now, t-minus 12 hours and counting. It's all downhill from here.

Except for the moving of the boxes into a three story house.

boxes and boxes

We are in deep, deep packing mode. We're in the phase where it looks like we're living in a flop house. We're in the phase where we don't really know where anything is. But we're also in the phase where we can see an end in sight.

We move in eleven days. I can't wait!

* please pardon the iPhone photo... I think the real camera is in a box somewhere!
