One of those weeks

stinker.1
stinker.2
stinker.3
stinker.4

Adorable? Yes.

Helpful? Not so much.

Albeit the constant work-sabotage-expert, he was the best part of the week. I'll spare you the blurry-baby-wrapped-around-my-ankles photos.

Very busy here, but I do want to share that sweet scarf/hood combo (scoodie?) that I made for Isabela in more detail, thanks so much for the sweet words about that!

Have a great weekend and we'll try to put ourselves back together over here and be more presentable next week!

slobbery smooches, Anna & Roman

Babies are the best kind of distractions!

Lorrie said...

Lucky baby - look at the lovely fabric he gets to play with. No wonder he has such a big smile on his face!

lucy said...

cute outfit, and lovely link x

Carrie Picott said...

I'm freezing right now, I wish I was a baby so that I could wear a full body sweater too!

Sew Like Nobody's Watching said...

OH he is just so cute. You so make my day posting pics. But I soooo know what you mean about distracting and destructive. Been there! Of course not as many times as you have. Ha! =)

andrea said...

What a cute lil guy!! he's got a great eye for fabrics too :)

adorable scoodie!!!

Julie said...

So very cute! They sure do grow up fast don't they?
Cheers!

Karen said...

Roman is so gorgeous. He reminds me of my own little man who is now 4. He used to have a special draw of scraps he would throw all around the place. Now he likes to make piles and crash his cars into them.

thirza said...

He is so lovely. You can't but smile though when your recently tidied stacks are pulled down whilst an eager face is looking up at you: 'look mummy, I'm helping!' (It is even more fun when they say 'elpuh')

I can't wait for my wee one (a big 2) to get going with my just ordered stack of your fat quarters!!! Yeah, can't wait to get started with them, they are so gorgeous!!1

Rachel said...

My daughter and I agree that Roman is the cutest baby boy ever!

Perhaps he's not helpful, but all that adorable-ness must make up for it!

CupCakeCutie said...

So nice to know some one else has had a week like that!

wishes, true and kind said...

With a face like that, anything could be forgiven :0. And one day (far too soon), he'll grow out of it. My cat? Not so much!

Cheryl Arkison said...

It seems like every week lately is one of those! Hang in there.

Melissa said...

Aw--- snot. Gotta love it. Hope you can catch your breath.

Shandell said...

I MUST know where that adorable romper is from! My son is 6 months and he's jealous ;)

diana said...

haha, I think yo're doing quite allright on presentability. Roman looks happy!

Catherine Denton said...

Those are the best kind of distractions.

L Johnson said...

Darling helper and no wonder he picked that bin it is full of beautiful fabric!

Poppyprint said...

I'd want to dive into that fabric basket, too!

dale said...

Roman is just too sweet and cute. Love that drooly little chubby face he has.

Danee Kaplan said...

OMG as they say, she is ADORABLE! Thanks for posting. Also wanted to drop you a note that I ordered several products from your website for Christmas presents. They were all so beautiful. I bought two aprons (one for my mom- she thought it was too pretty to wear but she did- and one for my mother-in-law), a set of towels I gave my 93 year-old grandmother, 2 scrap bags (one ofr me and one for my crafty 10 year old niece) and a stationary set for my good friend and avid quilter. I was so happy with each product and felt very secure in the knowledge that each one was appreciated by the recipient.

kwiltmakr said...

Is that the next Kaffe Fassett, only better looking?

Ashley Schott said...

Your scoodie is so adorable and your little baby boy is even adorabler;) I just want to kiss those sweet feet and sweet cheeks!

od Andulky said...

So cute!!! Very nice outfit!
Have a nice weekend!

CuteStuffInside said...

I just saw some of your fabrics live and in person at Make & Mingle in Fairfield, CT yesterday. How lovely! Even though I live in a city and very close to another, there are very few actual fabric stores. This was a treat!

S.W.A.K.

CrimsonBruin said...

Hi Anna! Where did you get that adorable knit jumpsuit Roman is wearing? Oh... if all I had to do was play in fabric scraps!

Madge said...

you are constantly an inspiration

Meertje said...

So lovely!
with kind regards Miriam

Cottage Dreamers said...

Too cute! Love his body sweater!

Trudy Callan said...

My toddler is in that same stage right now. Lot of fun and a lot of work.

Jennifer said...

Oh man, he is cute.

MommyKnitsJen said...

I just love the look on his face "Look what I did Mommy!" It makes it so hard to tell them no. I think that the more kids you have the more you see the cute and humor in these situations rather then the bother. My older kids always accuse me of being easier on the little ones.

rebekka said...

I just love his outfit!!! Looks so cuddly and warm :)

Andi said...

If I had half a chance, I'd be rummaging through your fabric boxes too.
Go Roman Go!!!!!

Marianne said...

Is he sitting and crawling already. That went so fast! He is so cute!

Bindu said...

What a cute baby!! He is happy all the pretty pieces are out on the floor.

kelly said...

punky, punky, punky!!! he's so cute!! glad you chose him over blogging, though we missed you :)

Tia said...

... I love baby feet with all that bubby fat piled up on top of their foot between their toes and ankles!

...they call me mommy... said...

Those baby feet...aww...!

Girl said...

What a cutie! I LOVE that outfit he's wearing! Could you p-l-e-a-s-e tell me where you purchased it??

helena said...

Hello...How can anyone resist the happy expression of helping and a little snooping around? I sure like those sqwuishy little feet. Hummm! I think you had another baby for fun new projects. A free stunning model to boot. I would be watching him explore all the time and not get anything done. His cute factor is off the charts. Plus the family charisma. Oh, my!

amy said...

oh my goodness!!! so cute, I can't stand it!!!

Anonymous said...

O please tell us where we can find that sweet sweater romper!!!

Jessica

Lisa said...

He is adorable! I love Roman's sweater outfit. So handsome and warm!

Fancy Elastic said...

Argh! I LOVE the wooly gro!

Anonymous said...

Such cute pictures! Wondering when the long dress pattern is coming out, my daughter is interested in making it for her prom! Thanks so much!

nanaofnc said...

Oh to kiss those cute, chunky feet! xo,

Hannie said...

Love his suit! And he is right you know! those fabrics are just the best.
Kind regards from The Netherlands,
Hannie

Anna Maria said...

Hi all, Roman is blushing over the virtual smooches :)

His outfit was on the sale rack a t baby GAP a few months ago...I had to has!!!
xo,Anna

jenn said...

looking way too familiar... my 10 month old can't keep her hands off my fabrics, papers, cords, etc. love it.

Wendy said...

Oh yeah, I get the not-so-helpful part, trust me! Living with a 2 1/2 year old when I really didn't think I would be.... well it keeps me on my toes and my fabric up a bit higher....

thea said...

oh! he's so cute & cheeky-looking ;)

thea.

Roman reminds me of my little man Jacob being helpful. He loves clinging to the bottom of my skirts too.

love

Camilla & Jacob

Anonymous said...

Oh is he just the most beautiful little man ever!!!

Karin said...

I so know how you feel. I have a little ones just about the same age. And he's constantly around me/on me/behind me/on top of me/before me/wherever I want to do something so it can't be done anymore/etc too :-D They are so adorable though, so you just have to forgive them, don't you?

Love his outfit by the way. And I bet he loves the fact that he can play with such colourful thingies!

Goodluck!

Anonymous said...

Roman's sweater romper is yummy! Love those!

Girl said...

Hi Ladies! I found some sweater rompers which are similar to Roman's and can be ordered on-line at this site: http://www0.dealtime.com/-cable+knit+romper

They only go up to 6 mos though, unfortunately... :(

Thanks to Anna Maria for telling us the store where she purchased it though!

Michele said...

Dear Anna,

your blog is as beautiful as ever.

my baby boy is a grown man now in his twenties, he was pretty like Roman and blonde and blue eyes ~ seeing your baby makes my heart feel happy and very blessed to know I got to experience the most precious thing in life and that is our children.

he is so adorable !!! thanks for sharing such wonderful pictures

You may painfully regret, only to realise that it is too late.

Melissa said...

Goodness, he reminds me of my own daughter who used to be so proud of emptying my bookshelf everyday while I showered. Drove me a little crazy but she loved it and I got a shower. She's almost 4 now and I miss the little explorer but still can't wait to see what she does next! Enjoy - what a blessing to have him there to distract you! Thanks for sharing!

Katja said...

Hi Anna
I found your blog just a couple of weeks ago, and I love it. The beautiful pictures, your colourful creations: lovely!
Oh, and I'd really love to hear more about that beautiful scarf/hood you made for your daughter.
I just started to teach myself to crochet, and making that scarf would be such a beautiful goal to achieve!
All the best to you and your family!
Katja (all the way from Switzerland, where it is rather chilly at the moment. Another reason to make that scarf!)

IMAN said...

OMG..i can't stand it..he's just tooooo adorable!

Louise said...

Love it and I know what you mean. I have the same problem some days

Oh my gosh he has gotten polee megalo already!!! He is very handsome, what a cutie -- and taking after his Mama with the fabric! hehe -- way adorable.

Lisa @celebrate CREATIVITY said...

Obviously, even babies know pretty fabric when they see it.

Cute photos!

Soon, Then said...

What a darling baby in that sweater/jumper! Love it!

This is just too familiar! Though replace fabric with flour and bags of rice and you get the picture. Lots of mama-to-mama love and sympathy.
