There's a new bird in the house. It's Miss Mabel Bird! Here she is, one day old, in the bonnet I had knit her. It fit her for half a second. Here she is at one week. Here she is at one month with her 2 year old brother, who's handling her arrival pretty well.

And here she is now, at six weeks old. It's gone so fast, I can hardly believe. She's such a pleasant little baby, and we're trying to enjoy every moment of her development.

As I slowly poke my head up out of my nest, I hope to share some of the crafting that has taken place here over the past few months. I hope you've all been having a splendid summer!
