He even took care of the details on the back:
The monsters are great friends who love to hang out with Margot.
I haven't quite decided if it's really cute or really pathetic that after Margot is in bed, Ben and I settle down on the couch for a little crafting before bedtime. I have to admit though, I love knitting quietly and chatting about our days while we both ooh and ahh over each other's new projects.
In even more awesome news, I went to a book reading on Monday. The author was charming, funny, and exactly what I imagined she would be like:
For me, getting to meet Heather Armstrong was kind of like meeting my "internet idol". Dooce was the first blog I ever read - back when I didn't even know what the hell a blog was. Her candid, heartfelt posts are more than just entertaining, and I can't even imagine the lives she has touched by writing about her struggles with parenting. Ben and I enjoyed the reading and I am so glad I waited in line to meet her - she was genuinely kind and absolutely beautiful.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!

SO JEALOUS!!
I love the new pic of Margot...she is so beautiful!!! The monsters are fun, too. Did Ben come up with some clever names like Bob and Spike or something?
I LOVE the monsters! They kinda look like what would be on Elise's "Yo Gabba Gabba" show and she is a huge fan of them, along with lots of other little kids. That is such a fun idea! I can just picture you guys chatting over your crafts...priceless!
OMG! OMG!
You met Heather??? I LOVE her blog. And her Twitter is just as brilliant!! (Ohhh...that sounded a bit dirty!)
OK, those monsters are the coolest things ever!!! And how cool that you met Dooce!
Can I come join in the crafty fun!? I can't think of anything that sounds like more fun. I am super jealous that you met Dooce, too!!!!
Ben made another monster yesterday - a green octopus type thingy with shell button eyes. I am trying to talk him into selling them!
