baby gifts

wow how time flies. things are a bit hectic over here at gtbg. i am back working in an office temporarily and getting back into the whole office groove is not easy. i imagine by the time i settle into a routine i'll be back working at home (the office stint could end up being a very short one). anyways, i probably won't be around too much over the next 3 or 4 weeks (not that this will be any different than my current sporadic posting!). even if i am back working at home, i am training a newbie (a friend of mine actually) and balancing that with my workload will be eating up my time.

i am knitting a bit though. i had a double baby shower this weekend for 2 of my close friends who are due just 3 days apart in the beginning of september. i can't believe the babies are almost here! for one friend, i finished up the debbie bliss cardigan. she is having a little boy.

i used the sour apple color from peaches and creme. turned out cute huh? i paired it with jeans and a green polo.

i also made a super cute owl (otto the owl from one of those kid books, i'll have to look up which one) for my other friend who doesn't know if she is having a boy or girl. i forgot to take a picture so i'll have to see if she can snap one for me. it is just too cute.

ok, off to check on my kitties. next post i'll show you what i made for them last week :)

The only thing that could make that outfit cuter is an actual baby. Love the colors!

Don't you just love baby items? They are fast to make and you can try things on a small scale before an adult garmet.

I love the outfit! Can't wait for more pictures and stuff for special kitties....

Super cute! I should give up on knitting baby blankets and knit some cute baby tops instead.
