paris comes to me...

I've been to Paris once.  That was my senior year in high school.  I've been wanting to go back.  My husband's cousin just went a couple weeks ago and picked up some requested treats for me and then some...

knitting and porn

I bet I caught your attention with the title of the post.  Shall I start with the porn?

I'm sure you're familiar with this book.  This a new one.  Porn for New Moms.  Pick a copy up and look specifically at pages 21, 31 & 87.  You will see a familiar face on those pages.

...and I share with you some knitting photos of a baby hat.  My sister was going to a baby shower and wanted me to knit a baby hat for a girl.  This project was fast and easy...instant gratification:

This is my favorite part of knitting a hat...the decreasing part =)

sewing and pictures

I wanted to experiment with sewing nylon.  Inspired by Yorktown Road's supply sack which is made out of a heavier nylon, I set out to make my zippered pouch with a very light weight nylon.  It came out great.  I didn't even have to sew interfacing. The nylon pouch is the one on top.  The pink one on the bottom is my regular cotton sewn pouch.

We also set out to Yerba Buena Gardens so I could take pictures of Jason for his 5th b-day invitations:
