My sister is having her baby!!!!!!





I'm going to be an Auntie!!!!!! Can you tell I'm excited? Woo Hoo!!!! Of course this baby is choosing late in the day/night to make her appearance, just like most babies. All I care about is that everyone comes through it healthy and happy. Of course Jill and Derek have been very close-mouthed about names, so we just have to wait to see what her name will be. This is my only sister, and she's having her first baby at 34, so we had all given up on them having kids, and everyone is just about over thier heads with excitement about this one. Now, on to some pics of the recent baby knitting, of course mostly all in pinks! Here's the hat I just finished tonight. Then there's the baby sweater and the teddy bear that's supposed to be wearing it. Of course the sweater needs to be washed and blocked before it will look absolutely beautiful, that's coming. I didn't like how the bear looked, it was a bit scary around the face, so I felted it, and did some creative sculpting, and it looks a bit better now. Of course, it still needs eyes. I really don't want to give it bad eyes though, so I'm going to see if I can't find some really good ones. At least now it won't frighten my neice when she sees it. I know these photos all need editing work, but hey, I'm lucky this damn dell piece of crap is still working. it came with a faulty hard drive and by the time i realized it was the hard drive and not me or the programs I was asking it to run, it was too late and they wouldn't do anything about it. Yes, I really love my Dell! Not! Sorry, off the soapbox now! Can't wait to see that new neice of mine! Anyone got any links for cute trendy baby sweater patterns? I'm working on some stuff for next fall and summer, but want something the then 6month old baby can wear come christmas/winter/early spring. Keep your eyes peeled for pics of the baby tank top from knitty.com and the cute baby dress from minnowknits, I'm still working on those too. Any mistakes in sentence parsing are mine, totally from moving the photos around! I tried to catch it all but keep seeing wrong things, and it's late, so I'm giving up!
Goodnight!
