Debumpify: verb. To give birth.
No, not me! Some of you may remember the circus baby blanket I made a few months ago for my sister’s bump. For the entire pregnancy we didn’t know if the bump was a boy or a girl … oh the suspense, it was killing me.
Finally, after what seemed like years (and that was just the labour, my poor sister) the bump showed itself… or should I saw HERself, and was named Pixie. Even though I had planned to bust in on my sister at the hospital the minute the bump debumped, I ended up needing to fly to the opposite end of the country for a week, and finally met my seven day old niece for the first time today.
Proud Aunty? Hell yes. I wrapped her in her blanket and dressed her in hand knitted goodness….
… and fell totally in love with her… what a blessing for our family. She is ace.
Sending you lots of love XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
So pretty…
Congratulations on becoming Auntie! I also love the name Pixie – short and simple – and I feel sure she’ll live up to it.

Beautiful baby. Looks so adorable in your handmade goodness!
I went through your blog, I am amazed by the wonderful things you make. thank you for all these stars that you sprinkle in our sky.
I ran into your blog from the list of crochet blogs on craftster and I’m SOOO glad I did!! I love it!! I love your writing style and all the awesomeness within in
and man oh man, Raymond and Richie are just the cherry on top! I feel that every craftster needs a (at least one!) furry friend as a partner in crime. I must have spent like 2 hours just reading through your posts, you have inspired me to wanna spin haha even tho I have no idea where to start… maybe I’ll just spend more time drooling over the stellar colors you dyed your yarn with
*high five* all the way from Florida
GORGEOUS and congratulations to the whole family.
