****The bigger needles with the yarn inside, the molds for those are available at Michael's or online, they were made with these- http://www.amazon.com/Wilton-Plastic-Dowel-Rods/dp/B001A6G82M Just let them cure, I put fimo in the ends, and sort of twist/wring them to detach them from the plastic, and push 'em out with a pencil, or whatever's handy- Ta-da, end of update! I searched this forum, and apparently I'm not the only one confused about where to put knitting needles, but it seems they go here, since others did! Hmm, they are all hand cast resin needles I made, the smaller ones are size 10 and 1/2, and 7 and 1/2 inches long.

We're always on the lookout for new creative ideas to add to our little one's lives. We love the look of this thumb print guest book, although it was used for a wedding (and a fabulous one at that) we think the look is perfect for your next baby shower or as wall art in your nursery. A few more ideas are after the jump! We really love the idea of little individual leaves. We also think it could be a neat thing to keep from year to year for your child, letting invited attendees to birthday parties stamp their fingers to leave their mark on the day. Keep the same "tree" from year to year, just add to it as you go, alter colors if you wish, just make sure to date one or two so you know where it stops.

Thanks so much for the book love! I feel so supported and good about the whole thing. . .it's hard to put into words, except to say thank you. I am not really able to stay focused on any one big project right now (like the the quilt and blanket I have started and not finished for this baby) so, I jumped to something else and I tried my hand at some felt covered barrettes last week and these are quick and easy. They go together so fast, it won't make me crazy if we lose them.
