Happy September!

 Hi,

So much happening in the last few months and of course I'm wishing I had posted about them. 

Emmy made the high school volleyball team!! She's over the moon excited and we're over the moon excited for her! Elliott started kindergarten and soccer. Emmy turned 16, and Ensley turned 1! Lots happening. 

Lots of crafty stuff too. I made what I consider my 1st real sweater. I made Elliott a little sleeveless type sweater like 5 years ago but I guess without sleeves I don't consider it a "real sweater". 

So I went into my local yarn shop Chickadee Knit Studio and asked the real nice owner, Chris, what would be a good pattern for my 1st sweater. She sold me an awesome book of sweaters to knit for little people. It's called "knit a little" by Marie Greene. She also has matching patterns for adults and hats! 

Anyway, I knitted Ethan a sweater in their Anthony Wayne School colors and he absolutely LOVED it! He wouldn't take it off, which is the highest compliment! 

We're making sleeves! 

And it's done! It's not perfect but it was so much fun and I learned so much! 

I can't tell you how proud I am of this sweater. 

I wish you could see the happiness in Ethan's smile. Warmed my heart.

It's a little warm outside but he didn't care 😊

So, I made a halloween album that I have yet to share. I created it in 2022 but unfortunately the kids were sick and didn't get to trick or treat that year. So, I'm going to fill it with photos from last year, but I'll post the album here first without the pics. 

Here's what the outside looks like finished and I promise soon to post pics and possibly a walk thru video 😓.

As always,

Thanks for stopping by 💕
