The Lion Sleeps Tonight

I did finish it in plenty of time (shut up Judy) but only got the label put on today, and I didn’t want to post pics until they’d seen it. Now they have, so here it is:

The Lion Sleeps Tonight

Hiding in the quilting are a couple of crabs (he’s a Cancer) & a couple of other critters, lots of leaves & a tree or two, som bamboo & grass & a hut on stilts, and some lyrics from one of the most awesome songs ever.

gramma me!

By sion, on June 26th, 2009%

I’ve been busy and nonbloggy lately at least partly because this morning’s grand events were looming on the horizon – I’m a gramma!

Carter James was born 11:19am on June 26 weighing 3125 gram (6 pound 14 ounces) at 52cm (20.5″) long. He has very dark hair with a shock of surfie blonde top left side of his head (it’s so cute, can’t wait to see if it stays). He’s even more placid and unflappable than Boofhead was, took being passed around to everybody with perfect equanimity and surprising alertness – I’ve never seen a baby who focuses on faces & follows movement & voices at a couple of hours old. He’s just beautiful.
