Pink Holidaze

Cookie knit Eloise this adorable pink vintage baby cap (Pattern from  Vintage Knits for Modern Babies ).  It's so cute I can barely stand it.  And there's a sweet sweater (Pattern from   Vintage Baby Knits ) to match, which will fit her this spring.  Oh, yes...and please note double chin.

So excited for her nursery to finally be done, other than a few little things to add (I've kind of puttered out on hanging things for a bit).  And so excited to share it!  Now, we just need the baby!  C'mon, little El. { Land of Nod Shelf Silverstein (24") ; Land of Nod Singing Birdcage ; Land of Nod Binth Alphabet Print ; Manhattan Toy Classic Baby Beads; Pottery Barn Kids Frame (no longer available); Hobby Lobby "E" spray painted blue ; Knit hangers hand knit by my mom from Vintage Knits for Modern Baby ; Gymboree French outfit ; Old Navy Bodysuit } { Hoop Swatches ; Ashley Gierke Raccoon Paper Cut ; Anthropologie "e" and "k" ; Embroidered hoops by Lauren Reedy; Crate and Barrel Lamp (no longer available); Daschund card ; Prince Lionheart Wipes Warmer ; Hobby Lobby "E" ; Land of Nod Bookshelf ; Land of Nod Changing Pad Cover } { Dwell Studio Zinnia Bedding ; IKEA Rand Rug ; IKEA Poang Chair and Ottoman ; Land of Nod Bird ...

At my last shower, I opened up this awesome surprise from my mom.  A hand knit bunny mobile.  Yeah.  Cookie's got some serious talent.  I love it.  Love, love it.  It makes me happy every single time I look at it hanging there.  My mom used a pattern from  Vintage Knits for Modern Baby  ( here ), but if you're not a knitter or don't know any, blabla kids has some great hand knit mobiles.  These photos are from our nursery, so there's a peek at our bedding in place and the " love" print we ordered.

My mom sent this over the other day.  Hilarious and really, really adorable.  Perhaps Eloise can wear one in honor of the red ones the bridesmaids wore in my mom and dad's wedding.  I wish I were joking...see for yourself.   {Baby turban is from an amazing knitting site called Pickles .  Sadly, my mom said that pattern isn't in English yet, but the site has other great patterns worth checking out!}

So, I was just on the Kate Spade website (which, by the way...you can download a really fun free mix  here right now ) and spotted this hat, which looks like a more expensive version of the one my mom knitted me and my sister-in-law last year.  Boo ya.  Unfortunately, the pattern was apparently a pain (and my mom is a very talented knitress), so she's not up for commissions.  haha.  :)  I need to put up more of her knitting later, because she pretty much amazes me with her mad skillz. Here's the Kate Spade Version . And a far away view of my mom's knitted version... {This pic is from Chicago last year...that's my cousin and uncle on the left and my pops on the right.  My cousin and her sisters, at college that weekend, are eight million kinds of cute in every way...sometimes I can't get over them. :)}
