A Little Knitty

There is one hat that is requested at baby shows more than any other hat.... Boobie Hats! For the longest time I smiled and said no, not quite my style. But last week I decided to give it a shot...and guess what? It was SO fun and we shared so many giggles! Whether you breast feed or not...this hilarious hat is sure to make people smile (or maybe blush). I have learned to relax a bit more and not take life so seriously....sometimes it's super fun to be silly and laugh about how many times people pass your booth and say BOOBS!  Jen

Some people have girl crushes....some have man crushes...I have knitting crushes!!! I completely gush all over Alana since stumbling upon her book, Annie and the Swiss Cheese Scarf at my local knitting shop. I have every intention of teaching both of my children to knit (truth be told, I've tried a few times and they just aren't quite ready yet) but until then, this book has become a staple of our nightly reading sessions. Not only does it have the most adorable rhyme to teach children (and adults in my opinion) how to knit...but the story and illustrations are gorgeous and a great lesson in not giving up. Then...on another shopping expedition (an international one, at that) I found this beautiful book and instantly fell in love and when I noticed it was written by my knitting crush...it HAD TO BE MINE!!!! Check it out...the photography is stunning...even if you don't knit you will love curling up with this book!! Ah....it feels good to let my secret out
