caring

Shephard, my son's doll is well loved but not often played with these days (put aside in favor of plastic super heroes)...  so when Cleary spent the day doting on him I couldn't help but to steal these shots.  

I think my needy teether inspired all of the extra care.

"I've got some milk to make him feel better"  

um... that's normal, right????  either way I was one proud Mama!

making

Finding time to squeeze a bit of work into each day is getting more difficult as my 2 year old becomes more 2 and my 7 month old more mobile.   *sigh*  the 7 month old that began cruising at 5 months... is that even possible?!?!  These days I try to sneak a few stitches while they play... 

caught this one trying to escape,

and I get design help from this one.  I can't complain about that!

and somehow I manage to finish creating a new addition to Naptown Boys;  Oslo the owl is the first of many woodland creatures "Naplings"

I also made a robot for Cleary.  Throughout the making of the robot shrieks of delight "you are making a ROBOT FOR ME!!!!!" were heard anytime Cleary caught a glimpse.

'robot' is well loved

just like a dream... especially when the little bunny family hops through the yard.
