Greta has the sweetest little face and I'm determined to make pigtails her signature look. One of her favorite "naughty" activity is pulling all the diapers out the basket. She just loves her messes!

I already had the book with pattern and I already had the fabric so it made sense to make Holly a hat rather than buy one. I think she'll wear it. I like how it turned out! Most colors look great on Holly, but blue happens to be her favorite. (Her other favorites are pink and purple.) I read somewhere that the majority of skin damage via sun happens during childhood so I try to make an effort to protect my children. I'm not excelling, but each spring I renew my determination!

The pattern was really easy to put together. A beginner could definitely accomplish this!

Greta has decided to walk! Every day she takes more steps and every day she's a little more steady. Greta thinks she's the best thing since sliced bread. She is so dang pleased with herself! And by the way we all cheer for her, Holly included, it's no wonder! I think watching my children learning how to walk is one of my favorite parts of motherhood so far. It's so exciting! And their little personalities shine in a whole new way. Greta, I love you!

I don't do a lot of sewing for boys, obviously. If we ever had a son, I think my little family's world would be rocked! Anyways, it's a bit of a treat when I get to sew something for a lad, and this baby hexagon quilt was no different! I made it for our dear friends, Melanie and Ryan. Their little guy is due any day! I loved working on this quilt and I'm happy with how it turned out, even if it is a little Settlers of Catan (total coincidence I swear!).
