9 month baby Pictures

My photo class project was to take pictures of something that you're passionate about. Well it was time to take the 9 month pictures anyways and I do love my baby. I wanted something vintage. I was looking around for props and almost fell over the Pram in search of something. It's part of our lives and I never really think of it more than a stroller.

So I wheeled the baby off into the field. The day was beautiful and these are a couple of the pictures that I got.

The family isn't as excited as I am about them, they are more about "photography" less about the baby.

Eveie Peasy Baby Leg Warmers - Free Pattern

Eveie Peasy by Stephanie Nericcio

Super Easy Baby Legwarmers. As a new mom I want all the cool trendy things for my daughter, and I want them now! She’s 2 months old and doesn’t fit into anything, everything is so big. I sat down one day between feedings and baths, grabbed the needles and went to town.

The product was these adorable self striping leg warmers. They are perfect addition to any winter wardrobe, they stop drafts from going up the legs of pants, keeps legs warm when changing and look super cute. They are easy to knit and can be finished in a nap time or two.

This pattern will stretch to fit a 9 inch thigh at mid-thigh. In most cases, according to the average range growth chart for babies, these will fit babies up to 9-12 months, without adjusting the cast on figures. As the baby gets bigger (at the thigh) the warmer will become more snug, which works out great because the babe will become more mobile and the warmers will stay in place better.

Grab your double pointed needles and knit these up for a shower or holiday gift for the little one in your life.

Felt Food - My Peeps are here - Free Pattern

My new obsession is felt food for my daughter to play with. Right now I'm working on an Easter Basket filled with felt goodies instead of sugary ones. So far, my collection includes a Chocolate Bunny made from the kit purchased at Lilly Bean Market, a couple wrapped candies, a bunny cookie w/ frosting, a jelly bean and marshmallow Peeps.

I love marshmallow Peeps and really wanted to share the fun chicks with my baby. I think they came out pretty cute and I offering my pattern for free for everyone to make these chicks for the holiday.

The pattern is set up in a pdf file and you can get it here http://www.dustybottomacres.com/feltpeeps.pdf
