Cadence models her sweater

Sorry I haven’t been writing as often! Being a mommy is definitely hard work, but so rewarding! Here’s little Cadence in the sweater and hat I made for her - my little pixie!

It’s A Girl!

Cadence

Cadence Marie Dennis was born January 1, 2009 at 12:22 am. What a way to ring in the new year! She weighed 6 lbs 7 oz and measured 18.5 inches long. Since she was 28 days early, she had to spend some time in the NICU due to breathing problems and jaundice. She is doing so much better now, and we are happy to be home!

Pearly Girly Mitts

Pearly Girl Mitts

I have a “thing” for cream coloured, lacey knits. When the weather dropped to minus 30°C this Christmas season, I decided that I could use a new pair of warm, wooley mittens. Rather than buying a pair, I decided to design some using odds and ends from home. Et Voila! The Pearly Girly Mitts were born! These would make a great gift for the ultimate girly-girl in your life, or for yourself! These mittens feature a lacey ribbed edge, a feminine and practical tie around the wrist, a smocked pattern down the center, and they’re topped off with some lovely faux pearl button embellishments.
