Somebody Else's Daddy

Here's a sight you probably thought you'd never see: Maggie has not only relinquished her hold on John, she's sitting on the lap of someone ELSE's daddy! This is Maggie's friend Colette's daddy, Tyler.
Enjoying her new table - a yard sale find.

Yes. A peacock's bum. This is at the Tracy Aviary in Salt Lake City.

Elephant Ears

I printed this elephant pattern before Maggie was born. Little did I know she'd come to love elephants. So I made her one. The fabric was from Mom's house. Eventually, I realized it was not fabric, but a cut-out nightgown she hadn't finished sewing. I have no use for a flannel nightgown, so I made some of it into this elephant instead.

I put half of a grocery bag in each ear (to make them crinkle), and added a piece of fleece for a tail. Unfortunately, the little guy's legs are 2D. Or he only has 2 legs. That's what I get for using a pattern than can be printed on 8.5x11 paper. Maggie seems to like him ok, but he's no Piglet.

1 Year Pictures

Since we were too cheap to buy the electronic rights to the pictures we had taken of Maggie for her 1st birthday, now you get a picture of them hanging on her wall.

Here Comes a Snake

Last night I made a snake out of one of John's old ties. I had this project in mind for a long time and I finally got around to it. The pattern I followed was very poorly written, but I managed to figure it out. The snake has a fleece tongue (piece of Christmas stocking leftovers), button eyes and a grey yarn knot nose.

Messy Face

Maggie is eating more big girl food. She had chicken spaghetti leftovers for dinner tonight and loved it.
