It's been a while

So I turned into one of those bloggers that goes all hot n heavy for a while and then fades away. Ah well. I have actually been knitting, when not being a v busy full time working mom-of-two - check out the lovely stuff on ravelry (where I am DeniseE). Also set up a site for family pics so you can see what all I've been up to.
so anyway
did I miss anything?
what's new with ye all?

Want to see some more baby photos?

Sure you do!
Here's Darcy in her new mitts from Knitty - and her hat from Nan (cardi shop-bought - but knit by somebody)

And here she is with her superhero Sheldon! A lovely surprise from Twiceknit -

Even sleeps with him :)

And...would you believe I've got some kntting in? I bought this ribbon yarn at MD Sheep & Wool and decided I wasn't busy enough so cast on - v pretty and might be ready for the summer!

My Mum is here for a month, which is so nice, don't know how I'll manage when she leaves......and look what she got me...Sue want to visit and show me how to use this? Free baby cuddles with every visit!
And finally - Darcy is still getting used to her new blankie

My daughter's hands

How soon till I can get some knitting needles in these? Modeling a hat knitted by her Irish grandmother.

Babette Bulletin

What do you think?

Finally finished the babette, and put it on the spare bed in Darcy's room (she, of course, sleeps in a crib!) It actually sewed up quicker than you'd think - took a whole day - and it turned out even better than I expected. This really is a little girl's room now.

PS - check out the wee boots by the bed. She has about 5 pairs of shoes, these are the ones she wears most days:

All change for the New Year

Well - no posts for about a week, and a life-changing week at that...My little daughter Darcy was born last Wednesday (New Year's Eve)

Here she is, wearing a little hat I knit for her yesterday, under the blanket I made for her brother years ago. She is just the sweetest little thing.

I am still working on the babette, which will now be an integral part of the decor in her room :)
