19 pounds 6 ounces and 30 inches tall. My, how you've grown.
My sister Kim moved out and is on her own trying her hand at running a home. As a little housewarming gift (which was done to coincide with her birthday), I sent her and her boyfriend, Vrej, a little hand made something. A quilt. Of course. I made a bow quilt (inspiration here) and I tried to keep it a touch masculine by using a gray background. I really love how it turned out!
We don't do Christmas cards. I really wish we did. Hopefully next year I'll get it right. But last year and this year we've done V-day cards. I love putting them together! Especially when I have 2 cute girls. We sent the cards to grandparents and aunts and uncles and of course, kept one for ourselves. We used Photoboother to print the pictures, which I found via my friend, Mel. Conor and I used scrapbook paper cut to size, doilies, spray adhesive, baker's twine, and a stamp. Easy, easy!
I made these felt heart valentines for Holly's joy school class. The tutorial can be found on Purl Bee. They were quick and easy to do up and I think Holly's excited about them. She'll be very excited when I fill them with candy! I'm still trying to decide what kind of candy to stash in them.
Today is Greta's first birthday. I can hardly believe it! This past year has zoomed by so quickly. I love my Greta Elizabeth. She has brought me so much happiness. She is so full of love and affection. I love my Greta hugs and cuddles. Greta is not walking. She seems to have no interest in it. Although she loves to be praised for standing up. She's taken to leaning on knee against something and then holding her hands up with an expression that says, "look at me!" Greta's a flapper. If she doesn't get her way, she'll flap her arms like crazy! If she gets upset, she drops and screams. If Holly takes something from Greta, Greta will immediately shriek. I think I may have spoiled her a little too much. But when she cries it breaks my heart. I love Greta so much!
