Yarn Shipment

I got word that the company I order yarn from is going out of business. So I ordered extra of colors I probably can't find very easily and this is how it arrived:


It's the saddest box in the world. And upon opening, I realized it wasn't actually a box, just some tapped up cardboard in the shape of a box. Apparently, the company is so out of money they can't afford to buy a box, but surprisingly the yarn was completely fine:


And I figure now is a good opportunity to show a shot of my yarn storage. I did buy an Ikea bookcase just for it:

Another Fun Custom Order

Uranium Dioxide:


A small part of me didn't want to see it go. I think I'll make one for myself.

For Babies

How cute are these booties from Sylver Designs on Etsy:


Love the designs! I made these using the 3 month old size and they fit the 3 month old baby perfectly. The hardest part was finding cute buttons to go with them. I wanted to find buttons that weren't too difficult to put on, so the bamboo looking ones worked great. Perfect for the winter months and even cuter on the baby!

I think I really like these colors too
