Here's to 2008!!

A few days late...but hey, that's how I do things around here these days. :-) What a year 2007 was! Those of you that know me or are regularly readers, you know that 2007 was one for the record books in our family. To be honest....I don't want to relive it. I thought about re-hashing it all for your reading pleasure, but what's the point. I've tucked it all away in a tiny compartment in my tiny :-0 brain and I'm happy to keep it there. It ended with a miracle blessing and a new home. How we got there doesn't matter.

So......believe it or not, I've cranked out my sewing machine and made this taggie toy for Austin. The blanket really doesn't need a pattern, but there's a taggie ball pattern too found here.


And, I just have to show you this picture. I was trying to capture a pic of Austin chewing on the blanket, but Hannah as usual had to join it. I just LOVE this one, even though Hannah's hair looks like it hasn't been brushed in days. It, however, shows how much they love each other. So much....that Hannah cried yesterday when Austin got his 6 month shots.

My friend Amy (not the author of the book, btw) sent me the Bend the Rules Sewing book for Christmas! I SQUEALED with the delight. She also sent Austin some handmade bibs and Hannah a cute tote full of hair accessories. I cannot wait to get to work on a few things. Check out Angry Chicken blog for some wonderful projects, too.
