Baby Knits

I finished the Irish Hiking Baby Blanket I made for a friend who is expecting in early August.
She had told me she liked purple, once she found out they were having a girl, so I ordered Knit Picks Comfy in Lilac Mist. I was THRILLED when she told me they had picked out this bedding from Pottery Barn for the nursery:
Here's a close up.

Also finished the Baby Uggs for her:
And I found a fun little "punk rock" binkie holder on Etsy which I thought my friend would get a kick out of:

Anyway, 2 outta 3 are knitted.
On to finishing the baby sweater for the NEXT baby to be born (due end of August).

Mojitos, anyone?

...because our spearmint is out of control! And, we didn't even plant any this year. Some survived from last year (despite the garden being plowed this spring), and now it's growing like crazy.


Our supersweet tomatoes are starting to grow, too:
And our Romas:
And our cherry tomatoes:
Watering the sugar snap peas:The pole beans:



And here's a pretty snap dragon from our porch:

A Nice Bag is back on Etsy!

I'm back on Etsy! I tried selling some stuff on Etsy about three years ago during the beta testing stage, and didn't have much luck. But now, I'm hearing non-crafty people talk about Etsy, so I'm hoping it's gotten more popular in the last couple years. Here's my little shop, cross your fingers for me that I sell something!

I tried putting Etsy-mini on here to preview a couple of the bags I have listed, but I can't do javascript, I guess. So here are a couple pictures of bags currently for sale on Etsy. Check it out, and tell all of your bag-loving friends.

And a side note, if anyone reading is in the Rochester area, there are about 20 or so A Nice Bags on consignment at Gift Ferry's in Fairport, NY. Make sure to check them out during this upcoming weekend's Fairport Canal Days (June 6-8) or stop by another time this month to check them out. Here is a small sampling of the bags there, made by both myself and my mom.

And a little plug for the store they're being sold at:
