I LOL every time I see those beards and yours Jilly are the BOMB!  The look so Viking-y

[rottenlittleboys]

The beard for my BIL was a hit!  Here is him wearing it Friday night:
 They are way too much fun!  Plus, I have enough yarn left over to make at least one more black beard and one more brown beard.  ^_^  I want a red/brown one for myself.  So far 2013 has been very beardy!

I have wanted to dress up as a flashy bearded lady for the last three years. This is the best beard I've seen yet. So awesome!

So Jilly, how does one make a beard that fantastic?  Ive been thinking that my step dad needs one for his birthday this year.

AlishaMisha - lip balm is a good idea! I haven't made any in ages... need to see how much supplies would cost since that one is not in my current stash...    I am sure that your aunt had good intentions, but, yeah. That would have been a mess!!

Another thing that works well is Lotion Bars. Same ingredients minus the flavoring oil/essential oil. I have to do the math on supplies too because I am running low and I plan on making a bunch as part of party favors for a baby shower that will be at the end of July...

Which brings me to another thing....
I am going to be an Aunt again! I have a 1 1/2 year old niece and she is now going to be a big sister. I have been keeping it hush hush for a little over a week now. Only my parents and I know. My sister-in-law's immediate family still don't even know yet. Anyways, I figure you guys could keep a secret    So that is probably why some of you have seen "BabyM" on my list.

It seems as if everyone is pregnant or just had a baby.  My brother-in-laws wife and I have two cousins(3rd cousins) that are pregnant.  Then, 3 other realitives of mine just had babies within the past year.  And my sister and brother-in-law are going to start trying this summer.  Im glad that they are all excited about the baby mania, but I sure would hate to have to start all over again!  Our kiddo is almost a teen, and he has been a fantstic kid.  But the thought of starting over-dear hubby and me are like 'oh no no no no!'  With that being said though-I have plans to make some baby gifts this year.  I have bibs on my list already.  Im also thinking of some embroidered onesies as well.  And I want to make a deer hat for one of the babies too.

In my family there is ALWAYS someone pregnant. Usually 2 at a time. It has been that way my whole life. Right now the youngest generation in my family (the one below me) is going to have the first of a new generation. So, currently my SIL is pregnant and my cousin is pregnant. And let me mention that only half the 28 of us cousins have had kids. Now that one of their children will be having one it is a whole new generation to start counting.

Congrats! Too funny that it is the same situation! I have to make neutral baby things in the mean time. I think they will find out. Last time they were going to find out but not tell us, but they gave in the same day they found out. I plan on making a cotton green hat for it and then if we find out it is another girl then I will probably crochet a flower to put on it. We will see... She is only 6-7 weeks along right now, so I have time. Though I have already planned a lot of the details for the baby shower. It's going to be Bee themed I figured it is gender neutral and my niece loves this bee song that she gets all excited about...
