Love

So in love with my sweet baby boy…

My Water Broke!!!

Yes, that's right, my water broke and it broke a whole month early - what a surprise to say the least! This took place last Monday and the next morning we had a beautiful baby boy!


Will Robert Zielinski
born, Tuesday May 19th at 6:11 a.m.
6 pounds, 4 ounces and 19 inches.
We are so in love!


Since the little stinker decided to come a month early we had to stay at the hospital for a number of days because lil' Will had to spend some time in the NICU. It's so wonderful to be home from the hospital with our sweet baby boy! How blessed we are.

I know you hate me for not posting any pics but I will as soon as things fall into place over here. Just had to update you!

P.S. For anyone waiting on a Knitterella order I will get them out as soon as I can! Sorry for the delay but I'm sure you'll understand  :)

Miss O And Molly Monkey

I wanted to plan one more crafty day with Miss O before I pop. When I asked her what she'd like to make she said 'A Monkey'.

Luckly, a few googled words later and we found this sweet, free pattern for Molly Monkey.

Miss O and I went to town. She picked out the fabrics and did the stuffing, while I cut out the pieces and did the sewing - we made quite a team. We didn't include everything that the pattern has in it because we were pressed for time. No complaints though because it turned out very sweet and she was very happy - so was I!

Sweet Pea Of A Different Kind

I do have some FOs done and am finally getting around to showing them to you. First off is this knitted Sweet Pea set. Isn't it darling…


I actually finished this awhile back but am just getting around to posting it. The shoulders where you joined to knit the arm was a bit tricky but other than that I'd knit this set again. I think it'd be a great gift. This one, however, is for my Baby Z!

(Don't mind the weedy garden - fingers crossed that will be something we get to before BZ arrives but then again, probably not!)
