JVC Video On Mac

We got a JVC Everio and I have a Mac. I can't get the videos to play on my Mac for the life of me. Anyone with this camcorder and a Mac? Anyone know how I can fix this problem?


Just throwing it out there to see if anyone has any tips or can help. Thanks!

Itz Been

Itz been a while since I lasted posted, since I've last crafted, since I've been to my local knitting night, since I've visited all my favorite blogs and many other things, but I'm not complaining because I've been spending my time with my sweet baby boy. I've been so loving my time with Will and I'm spending every last minute of these last few maternity leave days that I have left with him. Next week is back to the grind - gosh I can't believe how fast the past 6 weeks have gone. It's sad to think how fast he's growing.

We'll see how it goes with being back to work and the swing of things but I do hope to get back to posting a couple times a week again and possibly finding some craft time for myself… I am starting to get my crafting itch back.


I wanted to share with you one of the 'must have' items that has helped me out with being a new mommy. It's called an Itzbeen Timer. A must have for a first time mom like me. I love this thing! I had a lot of laughs when I said I wanted one but I tell ya, I take it with me everywhere and it's so helpful. Basically just 4 stop-watches in one - check it out. If you have a new mom to buy for I highly recommend this as a gift.

Will's Photo Session

Will had his newborn photo session yesterday with Nichol Krupp Photography. She is an amazing local photographer that I've been very anxious to get into and now that Will's here it all came together. The shoot yesterday was so fun! Funny too when Will pooped ALL OVER Ed! Too bad she didn't get that shot - only reason she didn't was because she was laughing too hard!


Here is a sneak peak that she sent me - she has a more posted on her blog too - Check them out! can't wait to see them all.

I HIGHLY recommend Niki to anyone looking for a photographer. As you can see, she's ultra talented and such an awesome person too!

P.S. Glad I grabbed my knitted Karate Sweater - the texture looks great in the photo.

My Water Broke!!!

Yes, that's right, my water broke and it broke a whole month early - what a surprise to say the least! This took place last Monday and the next morning we had a beautiful baby boy!


Will Robert Zielinski
born, Tuesday May 19th at 6:11 a.m.
6 pounds, 4 ounces and 19 inches.
We are so in love!


Since the little stinker decided to come a month early we had to stay at the hospital for a number of days because lil' Will had to spend some time in the NICU. It's so wonderful to be home from the hospital with our sweet baby boy! How blessed we are.

I know you hate me for not posting any pics but I will as soon as things fall into place over here. Just had to update you!

P.S. For anyone waiting on a Knitterella order I will get them out as soon as I can! Sorry for the delay but I'm sure you'll understand  :)

Miss O And Molly Monkey

I wanted to plan one more crafty day with Miss O before I pop. When I asked her what she'd like to make she said 'A Monkey'.



Luckly, a few googled words later and we found this sweet, free pattern for Molly Monkey.

Miss O and I went to town. She picked out the fabrics and did the stuffing, while I cut out the pieces and did the sewing - we made quite a team. We didn't include everything that the pattern has in it because we were pressed for time. No complaints though because it turned out very sweet and she was very happy - so was I!

Sweet Pea Of A Different Kind

I do have some FOs done and am finally getting around to showing them to you. First off is this knitted Sweet Pea set. Isn't it darling…


I actually finished this awhile back but am just getting around to posting it. The shoulders where you joined to knit the arm was a bit tricky but other than that I'd knit this set again. I think it'd be a great gift. This one, however, is for my Baby Z!

(Don't mind the weedy garden - fingers crossed that will be something we get to before BZ arrives but then again, probably not!)
