Random Bits

Lilla is an amazing producer of regurgitated milk but somehow she has become quite a plump little babe. So to handle said situation I am making bibs...lots of bibs. The bib frenzy was inspired by a sweet gift set given to us my lovely sister Kristina (yes, that set gets LOTS of use). Here is my first round:


Lilla has recently acquired the ability to suck her thumb. She is the only one of my children to do so. This makes me happy...though perhaps I should be afraid that she'll become too attached and will wind up going off to school with a thumb in her mouth. But for now it soothes her, which certainly soothes me!


On a yummy note, I had my first try at making baklava last night. I've worked with phyllo dough before, but I've never made the sweet stuff. I found the recipe on line and I must say it is delicious.


Speaking of yummy, I have two skeins of this great blue mohair yarn, thrifted maybe a year ago. The color makes me smile.


As is the case with any material or yarn that I adore, I have a hard time breaking into it. I guess I can never think up a project to match its loveliness, so it therefore goes unused. But I've got to use it! I think it will become a scarf for me. Since I live in a drafty house, scarves seem to be a part of my indoor wardrobe. Yes, scarves are great and easy to make too.
