It's been a while...

I haven't had much time to post lately. Annalise has entered some sort of a daily marathon challenge. She wakes up and starts running, jumping, dancing, and climbing until she sits down for a meal. After she eats, it's back to the madness. This goes on all day broken up only by meals and naps.
Needless to say, I don't usually have the opportunity to sit down and type. Today, for some reason, I'm awake much earlier than Tren and Annalise. I've already got some laundry going (clean clothes for our trip tomorrow) and I've fed the cat. Whether I can keep the cat from meowing her heart out is a whole other situation.
I did manage to finish up some sewing while eb napped the other day. It's a 1960s-ish jumper with a halter. I think I might have to make her a coordinating bow. I have a bit of extra fabric.

And fun pictures...                                        

And these are pictures of Annalise in her after-bath cocoon. I wrapped her in a towel and she laid there for nearly 30 minutes, just looking around, listening to the music I had on. It was a rare quiet moment for her. (and no, she did not pee-pee while sans diaper.)

And also, if you are craft-inclined, go to modpodgerocks.blogspot.com.
The woman who runs it, Amy Anderson, is actually my long-lost twin. We knit, we decoupage, we have messy craft tables. Clearly, we were separated at birth. Also, she sent me a little box of magical things (meaning mod-podge, paint, etc). So really, go there and be amazed.
