Amaya Papaya

if you scroll down in this post to a bw photo of a baby that is Amaya. This is her nowadays. Her laugh is deadly contagious and I think she knows it because she makes a face like she's trying to hold it back and save it for just the right moment. It had been a long time since I had babysat a baby (since my niece bella was born which was years ago) so I had forgotten the very short amount of free time you have before they want to do something else. She only survived about 3 wardrobe changes before she started to get sleepy. I'm just glad I was able to get some photos before she called it quits for the day. Her mom and dad are good friends of ours and they have another daughter, Mara, who is best friends with my niece. They've relocated to Seattle and we really miss them.

made some hairclips over the weekend. The strawberry is my fav.

I've Felt Better

So I've started making things out of felt. Most of them will probably be for Bella to play with but some are just so damn cute I'll probably give them away as gifts too. I'll take better pictures tomorrow and update this post.

The penguin was the first thing I made. It belongs to an idea that i had sketched out of penguins dressed up in cute things. I realized after its funky result that I should practice first and create later. The toast was second and its crooked but I still like it. The panda was the fourth thing I made.



This is the 3rd thing I made. I think it took twice as long because i misinterpreted a stitch. Bella loves it though. So do I, how could you deny pink frosting.



These are one of the reasons why I got into this hobby, felt food is soooo cute. Although I messed up on that strawberry half, its butt is flat.



These are some chocolates, I will make more put them in mini cupcake cups and put them in a box as maybe a gift or for bella and then I'll just make more for a gift.
