Elijah

Thursday my little man turned 5! (i forgot where i put my camera, so couldn't post yesterday) We are combining his & Isas' birthday party so no pics until 4 Nov.  However, he got to open up the family gifts...from me & his sisters, from Great G'ma & G'pa in Nebraska, & from Mom/Dad. 

His Batcave Trio-block set.  It only looks like sister Isa is taking over ;)

Really!  Eli is playing with his new blocks! (just to make sure he had me pack them up to take with for his week-end with Oma)

Elijah was very pleased with his Birthday Crown he got at school. :)  Five years already, my sweet Sunshine, with many more to come!

I get obsessed

I can pick up & put down a sewing project, a book, and/or an embroidery project.  I can't stop thinking about a knitting project, thought. It's all that I want to do...housework & letters be damned!  Only 10 more pattern repeats until I can do the final 6 rows & bind off....& so I'm off~~~

Now all that I have left to do....

...wash, press, add beads, piping, & backing! ;)

Halloween cartoons...yea!

Before & After

Before.....

And after...

While 3 little Imps add to a Whaling ships' Cauldron....

See any difference?

From one week to the next. 

I am still left wondering how people manage to knit entire adult sweaters in one month.

Also, a little video 'cause it's October :)
