Cuties from last night

 Isabele with her hair in a circle french braid, wearing a shawl I knit a couple weeks ago.

 Titus sporting freshly washed and combed hair.


 A couple good pictures of the Titus and Isabele being sweet to each other.


Dog-ear warmer hat

I made this hat for Isabele when she was 2, I think.  Last winter she started calling it her "dog-ear warmer hat".  Then I found her wearing it anytime she had wet hair when she went to bed.  So, for the last 9 months or more, she keeps it in her room and wears it when her hair is wet.  I finally remembered to take a picture of her in the spring.  And just now, at the end of July, remembered to post it.



Everyone needs to have at least one picture of themselves as a sleeping child, right?  Or maybe mom's just need it for blackmail material for later.

Grandma's Old Porch Chairs (before and after) with New Cushions

I finally got the new cushions made for these cool chairs.  Originally, I thought I could take the old ones apart and reuse the foam, but I wasn't that lucky.  Due to age and the way the originals were made, I had to start from scratch.

Here's the old chair cushion.

Isabele sitting in the chair with the new cushion.

Titus sitting in the other chair.

Both chairs.  The fabric is bright and happy!  Important on a north-facing, covered front porch.

I learned a few things making these and will make some changes when I get tired of this fabric.  But for now, the project is done and off my list.
