Quick update.

The December Photo Project is back starting tomorrow! I'm going to do the best I can to be a little more regular about posting, even if it is only some photos.

But first, a quick little update.
1. I dusted off the sewing machine to make a few things for Naomi: a rainbow geranium dress for her birthday and a geranium tunic in some bolder colors. I really love how they turned out. She hasn't worn the rainbow dress yet, but I made it with vintage fabric I found in my Grandma's stash when we were cleaning out her house. I love that Naomi's first birthday dress will be made with fabric she bought.
2. I love several things about this photo: the first being PIGTAILS (Naomi's first!) and the second being her wearing her new tunic. I love the shorter length with leggings; it's also nice since she's still a crawler.
3. We had a great Thanksgiving with my Aunt in Northern California. The road trip up left something to be desired as we managed to turn what is supposed to be a 6 hour trip into a 10-hour one with a stop at an urgent care and pharmacy in the middle for a wheezing Naomi. She's much better now, but it is NO FUN when your kid is having a hard time breathing and you are in Stockton, CA without a clue as to where an urgent care is. Thankfully the iPhone helped us find one and we were in and out there in under an hour. 

4.I had one of the funnest LA days yet: including a trip to the fabric district, japanese curry, and boba tea. LA's fabric district is AWESOME!! There are so. many. fabric. stores. I was happy to have a friend show me around otherwise I would have gotten totally lost. I have never seen anything like it. Store after store filled with bolts and bins of fabric. My favorite part may have been a store where you can buy random pieces of mostly knit fabrics for 2.50/pound.
5. My Gamecocks just won their fifth game in a row over Clemson!

Giveaway

I've been watching in amazement for a few days as the links over here keep growing and growing with people who are hosting giveaways. The last time around I didn't participate, but now that things are slightly more settled in my somewhat crazy but wonderful job I thought I'd make an offering. The softies I make don't quite compare to amazing things you might see here or here , but I still think they are pretty cute. All those who leave comments will be entered to win the homemade softie of their choice, either an owl : (You can pick the colors you'd like, from a list of colors I have.) Or a penguin : Who will come with sunglasses, goggles, and a winter hat. (Because every good penguin should be prepared.) You can also pick (from a limited list) colors for the penguin's hat and glasses. I'll hold the drawing on Monday, since I'll be on call on Sunday, and the post the winner on Tuesday. Feel free to leave in your comment any favorite crafty blogs -

For all those who have been looking for news... we have news! It's a boy!!!!!! Judah Anthony Tell was born last night at 6:15 PM. He's a healthy baby boy with light brown hair and bright blue eyes. He was 8 pounds, 4 ounces, and 22 inches long. Both Judah and Aubrey (and Jeff) are doing well. "She bore a son and said, 'This time I will praise the Lord .' Therefore she called his name Judah. " Genesis 29:35

The "Go" Bag

Our bags are packed and in the car. This, I assume, ensures us several more days before the little one arrives. :) Even though my bag is already in the car, I decided to do some research on what the mighty expert known as Dr. Google would have to say about it, just to make sure I do have what I need. There were obvious things, like something to wear home, something for the baby to wear home, a toothbrush. (These I could figure out for myself.) Then there are some outdated things. For instance, almost every list I saw told the dad to bring "change for a payphone, calling card, and a list of phone numbers." Since when does someone these days need change for a payphone? Every 15 year old pregnant patient I've delivered has either made a phone call or sent a text with in minutes of giving birth. Even my Mennonite patients use the cell phone in the delivery room. And they all also still say to bring camera and film . Which also seems like a somewhat quaint suggestion. I did se
