Another Sweater

After knitting a sweater for my three year old, my five year old wanted a sweater too, of course (imagine mom has nothing to do for a moment!), so I started knitting again, with this as a result:




I think this tunic like sweater looks a lot better than the other sweater, but fortunately three years old don’t criticize that much (yet). I got this pattern from Sandra Kids Magazine.

    This is adorable! It's so joyful and I love the pattern. I have yet to try several different colors in a knitting project, but this makes me want to.

I doubt that plague doctors ever said that, because in their time running water wasn't available for everyone. Besides: people didn't know about bacteria and viruses back in the days, so washing your hands wasn't common use.  People knew you could get sick by having contact with another sick person, though.

Little Plane

In the first post of this new year I want to start of course by saying  H a p p y N e w Y e a r ! ! to all of you!! Let it be a great one, with lots of love and good health! ~*~ Last week my little nephew was finally born, so now I can show you the stuff I made for him. Like this little plane I crocheted, to name one. In a couple of week there will be a gathering to celebrate his birth and then I will gave the presents to his parents, but of course I already saw him the day after he was born. The next posts will be about the other items I made. www.betweennapsontheporch.net One of the craft I made for the holidays, the Embellished Postcard , was featured two weeks ago by Navy Wifey Peters .  Thanks, Tonna!
