Make Something Monday week four

Hi there, and welcome to Make Something Monday, week four. A recap of any and everything I deem worthy of posting, that I've made in the last week.
I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was in a knitting funk. Well, it's gone. Now I can't seem to put the needles down! It's always that way for me, though - knit like crazy for a few weeks, then stop altogether for a few weeks, or only knit when I have to. Anyone else like that?
I got three stuffed animals done this week, plus a cute dress for one of them.

That's the three animals I've made this week, plus Mr. Fox who I finished a couple of weeks ago. But he looked lonely on the dresser by himself, so I threw him in the photo. They look snugly to me. Or maybe I've just been looking at stuffed animals for too long and giving them personalities. Who knows? I made this badger and raccoon:

Badger doesn't have a mouth yet, still debating if he needs one. Add Mr. Fox and you get the backyard bandits:

Also finished this week, and probably my favorite stuffed animal I've made ever (I posted her in the making last week)...this little winter bunny:

I don't think she's going to be a secret Santa gift, as I had predicted. I think Magdalena has called dibbs. Which is OK. Because I don't really want to give her up. Ravelled here: http://ravel.me/NataliesKnits/bgiadd
On the needles right now:

Another fox. I don't know why, but I am digging the foxes. I figured since I think of the other one as a boy, I would make one I think of as a gal. She will have a little heart dress:

Plus a peek of my knitting bag, in case you wanted to know what it looked like! Being Ravelled here: http://ravel.me/NataliesKnits/h6evg.
What did you make this week?

Linking up to:

Lyme's Disease

Hello everyone! Didya miss me??
We've had a long ride here the past few weeks and with everything happening, Blogging and things of that matter kind of slipped to the back of my mind.

Shortly after my daughter's fourth birthday, she was diagnosed with Lyme's Disease. If you don't know what it is, you're lucky - it's an ugly disease. No way around it, if it's not treated, it is fatal. Luckily, it's very easily treatable these days. But the medicine wasn't making Magdalena any better, and she got very sick...All I could think about was that paralysis of the face and organ shutdown are some of more common things to happen as results of this disease.

So I basically stormed into her doctor's office and threw a tantrum, stamping feet and pouting, until she was retested and put on different medicines. Now, a few weeks later, while she isn't 100%, she's pretty darn close.

And it reminds me to never take anything for granted.

Hopefully I can post fairly regularly for a while. And I am certainly going to try! I think I will have a happier post up later today or tomorrow, and also a guest post on Lucy's World Trip Blog!

Organic Tomato Plants!

I was at a local farm recently, and came across fairly cheap windowsill greenhouses. Every year I have tried to grow my own tomato, pepper, and other assorted plants. Well, it's only April 20th, but already, thanks to these awesome little boxes, I have grown better plants than I ever have before. (I say this knowing the plants are currently less than three inches. That says something about my gardening skills.)
Plus, without realizing it, I purchased organic seeds. I must be the only person in the world who doesn't wonder why a packet of seeds costs over $3.00.
And on another and completely unrelated note, we are making cloud pancakes this morning! If you haven't tried these, you must!

They certainly make someone happy!

PS, I was going to include more photos, but Blogger kept freezing. And I am too impatient to wait.
