Confetti

Several things to blog about today!  Which is nice, because I love lists!

A. Tattoos!
     I got a new tattoo!  A little 8-bit heart with my baby's initials.  It's super cute. GG got a tattoo, too!  It's a little heart on her ring finger.  I don't have a picture, though. :(
Here's mine...





And this means, that we are finally, genuinely, tattooed sisters! 

B. Crazy busy-ness
     So... we've been busy. Obviously. Our sister got married.  Then my brother-in-law got married.  Both were lovely! And, fortunately for this blog, I did some craftiness for the weddings!  I made my baby a little cashmere blend shrug to go with her weddings outfit. I bought the pattern on Etsy from Holland Designs.
Here she is in it, with all of Callie's nieces and nephews...

I also got a chance to make a Princess Leia outfit for a friend of mine. I can't believe how well it turned out! (I didn't make the belt!)

Credit where it's due... The pattern and instructions for the Leia outfit that I followed. It was a great pattern!

C. Olympics
     It's only day two of Olympics watching, and I'm getting restless.  I need something to do with my hands! X is feeling the same thing, only he's building Legos and doing a project involving flags and medal counting.
 I might make a sweater like the one I made for M for the weddings; the pattern is so great- it has instructions for scaling all the way to adult sizes.  I've also got a hat that I'm knitting for M out of the leftovers from that shrug. It would be awesome to get it done before winter!

D. Yarn Bombing
     One last thing. Our library was yarn bombed.  It was awesome. I helped tie a little!
The yarn bombing outside of the Yarn Mart is fun, too, but those pics are on my phone.  Of course!

E. Links!
     I've added a few links to places we love.  Geeky Sweetheart and Little Things Studio.  Love them both! 


And now, I feel caught up!  I'll let you know how my Olympics craftiness works out!
