they're not all about houses.  remember this adorable baby that was born into the family a few weeks ago?

well, he's three weeks old now and i still haven't met him (thank you, car.)

i want to hold him so badly it hurts!

but until we can get home to see him, i've been soothing the pains of anticipation by working on a little gifty for him.

check it out.  it's not finished of course, but it's going to be sooo cute on him when it is!

i'm going to knit little pockets for the front with red buttons

and i'm going to sew a zipper down the front

since i'm allergic to using patterns, 

i only hope it turns out!

Halloween 2009

Spending Halloween in Indiana with M's family was too much fun. The dogs had a blast playing together, and I had a blast handing out candy to all of the trick-or-treaters! We don't get any trick-or-treaters in our top-floor Chicago apartment, so I was thrilled to be able to see how much fun all the little kiddies were having. I learned something important about myself, too. I desperately want kids, but teenagers? Don't exactly want them.
