“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2015.”

Sunny: Rainy day dress up in her handmade butterfly wings.
Kaki: Taking her make believe very seriously. She made that crown and mask at a book signing this week of a fellow Eph who has written her third children’s novel, Confessions of an Imagery Friend. It is so heartwarming and quirky and delightful and I cannot recommend it enough.

Swedish Baby Knits

MajaLarsKnitting_blogalacart-1

I’ve been knitting up a storm of late, as so many loved ones are preparing to welcome sweet babies into their lives this winter and with all the chaos of my work life, unwinding each evening with a hour of knitting has proved unbelievably therapeutic. It’s a great way to ease my mind before bed, and relax after a busy day.

These cozy knits are headed overseas to my darlings LasseMaja and their Swedish babe arriving in November. Some handknit love to help baby endure his/her first dark, Scandinavian winter. Links to patterns under each piece below.
