What I've been up to

I've done a few things over the past weeks that I thought, 'hey, I could blog about this.' But, I didn't. So, here, you will get the recap all at once.

Two friends of mine had babies in the last couple of months so I made some cute (at least I think they are) onesies as gifts. Ties for a little boy and hearts and teacups for a little girl.


This teacup one is my personal favorite.



It was time for a vacation so I decided to visit some friends in Boston and DC. I flew into DC and spent one night there. The Bears were on Monday night football and since my lovely hosts are also from Chicago, went went out to cheer them on. For dinner, we conquered the Big Green.

The next day, it was off to DC for a couple of days. I spent some time with my friend Julia in her kitchen
And wandered around the National Mall for several hours.

While not seeing the sights, I was spending time with my longtime friend Amy and her beautiful little girl, Lucia (oh, and Amy's lovely husband, of course).

Then it was back to Boston for several days.
We visited Mr. Adams and his brewery
This one was my favorite but I can't actually remember which one it was. I'm sure I'll be able to remember when I see it again.

My hosts in Boston
We walked the Freedom Trail and we found Mother Goose
Then we went to Harvard and found out that Winnie the Pooh lives there
We also spent an afternoon touring the USS Constitution.
At the end of the adventures, it was back to Chicago and real life.
