Nearly two years of knitting, and my first sweater is complete! It was cast onto my needles in February 2007 and knitted during many alone hours, a few car rides, in two yarn shops, propped up in bed, on an airplane, in front of the t.v., while visiting family in WV/VA/NC, during a move, and draped across my growing belly. I tried it on last night, and while it doesn't quite cover the belly, I'm content to just enJOY it folded there in all its finished glory!Saturday, December 20, 2008
Finished!

Christmas Cards
I didn't quite get around to creating our usual Christmas photo card this year. Gini sent me a box of these, though, and they couldn't be more perfect...my favorite word, my favorite color, and sparkly glitter. I'm hoping to find a few moments to send a couple out in the next few days. Thanks, G! Sunday, December 14, 2008
Little Pink Hat
This was my first project using double pointed needles.
I am so pleased with how it turned out!Friday, December 12, 2008
Christmas Cookies
We're off to a Christmas party tonight. These Chocolate Peppermint Cookies are coming with us. Of course I had to sample one (or two) just to make sure they're edible. Scrumptious! I found the recipe here.

Baby Shower by Mail - Part 5
I found this gift on the front porch as I was leaving for the grocery store yesterday. There was no way I could leave it unopened the whole way there and home again! With not much room to spare between the steering wheel and my belly, I tore into the polka-dotted paper showering the Jeep with pastel glitter. Inside I found these cute little footed sleepers and a sweet note from Cookie. When I got home, I draped the sleepers over a kitchen chair and set the card up for Lee to see. The sight of those little footsies dangling there makes me smile every time I pass them, so I've left them there. Why not enJOY their cuteness for a few more days before putting them away in her room? I didn't clean the glitter up in the Jeep, either. It's just so sparkly and fun. Lee took the Jeep to work today. Wonder if he's enJOYing the shimmer too ;-)Thank you Cookie, Danny, Abby, and Emmy!
