A gift for Narboo.

Megan's birthday gifts. She really wanted me to knit gifts for her, but in the end they were no match for the store-bought gifts. Oh well, she's 5 so I'll try not to take it too personally.

A baby shower gift. I didn't get a single decent photo of this matching hat and doll. Maybe I'll get a picture of the little guy with them after he's born!

My contribution to the National Gallery of Australia.

Found on the Oregon Coast

We spent last weekend at the Oregon Coast. I found some great stuff!

I found these market bags at the Sunday Market in Astoria. I bought the pink one first and couldn't stop thinking about the orange so I ran back and got that too! My photo is no good, you really should check out her etsy shop to see all their glory!

While in Astoria, we also found the Lunar Boy Gallery. If my kids were somewhere else, I could have spent hours here. This is where I discovered the Girl Band. Unfortunately we were on our way home and the spending spree was officially over. I must get one ASAP.

I picked up a few yarns at Creative Beginnings in Seaside and Coastal Yarns in Cannon Beach.

We arrived Thursday afternoon, my 5 year old broke her arm Friday morning. She is very brave and we still managed to have a nice trip.

Links

Today is my oldest daughter's 5th birthday, so here is a picture of her with a jaguar!


Here are some links I have been saving. I figured why save them if I'm not going to share them? Mostly family-related, not knitting or crafting, but interesting.



I love the concept of paperless mail.



Any ideas I can use to move toward a simpler and more sustainable lifestyle are welcome!



This tiny kitchen is amazing.



Two pieces on parenting, here and here.



That's all I've got!
