Busy, busy, busy!

Wow – it’s been a while since I had a “real” post! There’s been so much going on lately so I’ll update you little by little -
But first, here’s a few recent pics of my girl!
I don’t know if you guys have ever heard of Silly Suzy Goose, but Lila adores this book. We read it every night before bed. And I don’t know if anyone remembers that sheep in the background – I can’t seem to find the original post on it. But it’s a rocking chair that I found a few years ago, before I was even pregnant I believe and I fell in love with it. Now Lila loves it and can finally sit down on it! And check out those pigtails. Occasionally I can get them in and they stay for a few minutes!

And here’s her first look at dyed Easter Eggs. Of course she didn’t care about dying them, that was left to me and mam-maw (Lila’s pronunciation of grandma) but she loved cracking them!

And one more – it was a gorgeous day on Sunday, so before heading home from WV, we headed outside. Lila loves being outside! (Sorry for cutting your head off honey, I’m still not that great with the camera!)

Knitting - I’m working on a few things right now *gasp*
- I’m still chugging away at Coraline. I’ve got the lower body and one sleeve done, and I think she’s going on hold until the fall. It’s turning out gorgeous though, I can’t wait to do the detail on the yoke.
- I’m 99% done a springy scarf in this gorgeous and soft yarn, just in time for Easter! I’m using a Feather and Fan pattern, and although I wasn’t too hot about it at first, I’m loving it now.
- I just started this cute little guy for Bubby Girl. I really need to do more quick projects like this one! I’m using the leftover Cascade Sierra from her turtle, and I have lots of small projects planned with this toddler-tolerant yarn!

Reading - Yes, I’m actually reading a book, it’s been a while. I’m hooked on Manhunt – the 12 day chase for Lincoln’s killer. Wow, this is a good one. I live pretty close to Dr. Mudd’s house (if you don’t know Dr. Mudd, he’s the one who set John Wilkes Booth’s broken leg a few hours after the assassination. Interestingly enough, I toured Dr. Mudd’s house a few years back and what I learned then, and what I’m learning now with this book are two totally different things. I’m afraid to say I don’t think Dr. Mudd is as innocent as his family members (the curators) of his house make him out to be. But I’ll leave it at that. If you want some gripping reading, check out the book. It’s fascinating to say the least!

Okay, more pictures and stories to tell, but the bread is almost done baking and I’m in the middle of sewing a row on Julie’s stocking (took a break to check on the bread – busy day!)
