Yesterday was Julia's baby shower, where crafty women, from far and wide, came to rain gifts and well wishes on Julia and her li'l bun in the oven. It was so great to see my local friends and meet some amazing women I hadn't met before. Such a great day.
Honestly, so many people were taking pictures that I didn't go to great lengths to get all the prime shots, but you can see what I took, over on Fickr.
But there are a couple of shots that I'd like to highlight, for totally selfish reasons.
See those bad boys? Their name is Alsace Le Monstre and the patterns for each will be available soon.
Here's a more detailed shot that will appear in the pattern.
In the mean time, I leave you with a little more sweetness
Townes sleeping in Mary-Heather's gorgeous mobile from Kat's Baby Boho book.
And, my friend Chrissy's dog, Akasha, wearing a hand knit sweater.
Yes, she is real, not a stuffed animal, and yes, yes, yes, she is ridiculously cute.

=Dhaha Akasha is adorable... It needs to be in a birdcage to keep it from getting broken! I think I saw a cat once cough something bigger =) lol

Omigosh, that dog takes the cake! It's a good thing the baby hadn't yet made it's appearance, as I'm afraid it may have been upstaged by that, as you put it, ridiculously cute dog!
I love the monsters! ;-)

I am loving Alsace Le Monstre! (Since I originally come from Alsace - I am very curious about the name choice!)

I love my monster and Moxie is anxiously awaiting his! When I said not to worry I was going to make him one, he pouted and said "but I thought Marnie was going to make it for me..." Apparently he knows who is quicker to produce the hand knit gifts! It was very, very cool to have a monster designed for my little parasite and named after his joke name. I know that as soon as he can grasp it and drool all over it they will be inseparable. I love the shot you took of Townie taking possession of the baby's mobile (it's still his and has cat hair on it to prove his ownership!), and the shot of Akasha just slays me. Too freaking cute for words.

Firstly, the hat and monster are just adorable!
Secondly, I'm not sure I believe that delicious piece of fluff is a dog. Is it REALLY?
