These are too darling for words! I didn't think it was possible for little ones' feet to look any cuter, but somehow they do when poking out from these little numbers!

Love the stripes especially ;)

those are so sweet. Sadly I don't know how to knit either, but I saw a neat home-made leg warmers tutorial online the other day. If you find some knit socks that you like, cut off the feet, fold the bottom in about a 1/2 in and stitch the seam. DONE!! They turn out really well and would be adorable for winter. Oh, and you get extra kudos because you made them!

how funny, I have these on my to-do list on Ravelry (a knitting thang). One night when you can get away sans kiddos, come back to the old neighborhood. Adriana and I can teach you a bit. Also www.knittinghelp.com easy, peasy way to learn.

I love:
Rainy days, moody music, warm drinks, picking fruit from a tree, turquoise water, baking, sharing meals with friends, most everything “old world,” simple, rustic, smart, funny, really hot baths, feeling connected, being pregnant, finding the perfect gift, smelling the tops of my kids’ heads, cacti + succulents, citrus, California light, guest houses, stinky cheeses, everything my grandmother baked, hearing my kids laugh, small world connections, smiles between strangers, snuggling, reading cookbooks, modern, Mediterranean, walks in the forest, being near the ocean, everything about the desert, gold, jeans, Lillet Blanc, natural childbirth, the beginning of a new season, snail mail, hearing someone’s story, people who reveal themselves…

"your children are not your children,
they are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself.
they come through you but are not from you,
and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
you may give them your love but not your thoughts,
for they have their own thoughts.
you may house their bodies but not their souls,
for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
you may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
for life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday."
