Baby Projects...

A finished project: 

Materials
Dies: HA and Clear and Simple Stamps elephant dies, Lawn Cuts - Star dies

(It does look strangely familiar, because it's almost an exact duplicate of another puerperium that I've knitted - love that variegated encore, though!) 

Scrapfest 2013

It's been quiet over here, but things should be picking up. The bathroom remodel is almost officially finished, and access to the light tent has been restored. These two weeks, in particular, were and are busy - trips for fun and for business.

Fun from this past weekend - Scrapfest 2013 - at the Mall of America in the TC.
