Put up 7 pints of apple butter. And picked up 11 new hens. 2 banties and the rest are first year pullets. They were gifted to me by someone who is moving to Florida. I’m keeping them locked up for now.
Baby in a Bag
I love the baby bunting.
Originally I picked the pattern based on what I would enjoy knitting, but I really love the bunting. The only time I don’t use the bunting is when the baby needs to be buckled into the car seat or when I want a tight swaddle. The only downside is that baby’s little fingers get cold.
Nursing Cover
I used this tutorial to make a nursing cover.
I only changed one thing: I doubled the fabric in the main panel, because I bought the clearance $1 a yard fabric that is very thin and somewhat see through.
Kimber Grace
Baby was born April 4.
The chord was rapped around her neck 2 times and I was still fortunate enough to avoid a C-section.
She weighed 7 pounds 8 ounces.
We had a bout with jaundice and Kimber was on lights and getting her bilirubin tested everyday. But that seems to have settled down now.
Baby Coat
Here is a baby coat I stitched up last weekend.
The pattern was one I purchased when expecting my first child, but never got around to using. I seem to have quite a few of those laying around. The fleece is just as old as the pattern. 10 years isn’t really that long, right? The size is newborn. I don’t know why those baby sizes are so much bigger on patterns. Maybe they think you are going to start sewing the pattern when the baby is newborn and finish 3-6 months later.
I think I need a little more practice setting a zipper. Yes, now I remember why I have avoided zippers in the past.
Baby Bunting
I don’t know how much I will actually use a bunting, I never had one with previous babies. But it sure was fun to knit.
I used this pattern.
