Teeny Tears and a Haircut

Today I trimmed Tiri's bangs. She was not happy having her hair brushed (usually isn't) but she thought she looked pretty after I was finished. :)

Look how long it is now! And this is after giving her about an inch worth of a trim maybe a month ago.

And then this evening, I decided to do a bit of sewing.

I've known about Teeny Tears for a while, but I didn't have a sewing machine for a loooooonng time. Now that I have one, I wanted to make some diapers. I made one a while back, but they are donated in pairs. Alas, I couldn't find that first diaper. (Tiri probably took it, she was quite fascinated by it.) So, I cut out enough to make two large and two small, and I made my first two Teeny Tears Diapers sets. :-D They're so tiny, especially the small size. :'-(

Back to Sacred Heart

I'm working on things for Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire again. :) I went on a bereavement item kick for a bit around Freddy's birthday, and have been doing baby hats for at least the last week and a half. My favorite were the ones I knitted this little heart design into. Heart pattern can be found here: Lacy Heart Design It's not an actual hat pattern, I just worked it into the plain stockinette part of the hat (knit in the round, so remember to knit the purls if you try it!!) I did a coral colored one that I promptly misplaced (😕😕😕😒), then this white one, and then a multicolored one. I've also done some plain stockinette. I tried a new decrease on one that made an X on top instead of a slanting swirl that I really liked. And the burial things. I won't post them all, here here are a few: And the hat with the X decrease. I suppose that has to be all for now, Squish is crying in baby jail. It's supper time I think. She'...
