Sewing, Daily Sewing

 I wanted to post some better pictures of Addison's quilt. I saw the zigzag idea online and fell in love with it. In retrospect I think it would've been good to just pick one or two colors for the stripes, but it was fun to shop for the fabric, and Addison LOVES it. And heck, if he outgrows it, I'll have an excuse to make another quilt. It's backed and bound in the blue color. P.S. In the crunch to finish it by birthday time, Nate sat at my side and faithfully tied the entire thing with me. What a guy.

The green one is my favorite - I like the "frog in nature" theme.
 And the latest - an apron that I made for Bryn for Christmas. I adore it so much it's probably sinful. I found a tutorial for the bottom half and flower bow at the waist, and then added a pocket and sort of made up the top. Love the fabric, love the design, love the cutie wearing it. This one's a definite win.

Nate the daredevil

We had one more adventure last Saturday that Nate was too embarrassed to write about. Before our hiking excursion we went to Liberty Park to feed the ducks. Addison had a great time in his stroller soaking up some rays and watching the lake and the people and the birds. We tried hard to avoid the seagulls, which are gross if you've never had much contact with them, and to get to the two ducks that were around, but competition for that bread was pretty fierce, so Nate decided to make the geese work for it (since they're the only ones that would). The documented evidence makes me wonder who was working harder, though, and who was more scared. Must be those ferocious beaks or the powerful weapons they like to call webbed feet. Notice Addison's feet in the video where you can see them.

Golden Parenting Moments

Several weeks ago, Nate woke up feeling gung-ho on a Saturday morning and decided we were going on a family sledding trip. I was a grump, but went along with it anyway. By the time we found a decent place and got a good trail worn down the kids got snow in their drawers and it was time to go. We had a great time, obviously. Poor Nate! .
