Looky looky!

See what I got!!! This bag(basket?) belonged to my mom. When I was in college, she bought it to store the yarn she was using to crochet some curtains. Well, since she finished those (and they are sooo nice!) and I am crocheting my girls blankets, she gave it to me to store the squares and the yarn!!! how cool is that!!!!

It is made of woven petate (something widely used in Mexico. Petates was used as bedding, because they were cool when the weather was warm, and warm when it was cold. Now they are often used as sort of rugs and in some places, still to sleep in them)

If you want to have an idea of the size, those tiles are about a foot long on each side... and it is almost one tile wide and maybe a foot and a half tall... aren't you impressed at how technical and precise I am!? oh, and that slim little foot is BH's... she wanted to be in the photo too!

Love it, love it! love my new project basket!!!!!!

hey, have you posted your comments on the post below?? don't forget to do it!!!! I'm SO EXCITED about the giveaway!!! yaaay!!!

I solemnly swear I'm up to no good

Well, actually, I'm up to a lot of stuff! but first, let me fulfill my promise and show you something that I marvel at:

Dear LH is learning to speak! and I love it when she pronounces a new word that I have not made an effort to teach her. I usually try to make her ask for her bottle by name, or her food, or some things like that, but I did not expect her to look at the comb, then say "comb", pick it up and start combing her hair! isn't it wonderful how babies learn?!

Little feet. I've always loved baby feet, but this are toddler feet. Where do they get all the energy? They jump and run and dance and tiptoe and are in perpetual motion all day long! Plus, those darling little toes!!

No, the camera did not go wonkers this time. That's the actual color. I put a white egg just for a comparison point. They are blue eggs. Sometimes, I get some that are so much bluer than these! Where do they get their color? why? Is is in the feeding of the hens? is it in the hen's pedigree? Oh, I better start calling the dish"Royal omelettes" instead of plain omelettes!

What are these? the newest aditions to my Etsy shop! plus I made some little hair bows, for girls and a pair for babies. Can you see me grinning all the way from where you are? cause my face aches from smiling so much!!!!
