Not Sad

I've glued together the cupcake. It needs a day to cure. There may be a slight crack, but it's all together.




And the glove will live again, with a few fixes to make it the right length for my girl.

Little catastrophes that surprise, but everything can be fixed. It will be all the better.

Sad

This is the cupcake I made for my birthday.

This is the glove that I knit last week.

Spring is Here

It was like Spring today so we had to go outside and enjoy the sun and fresh air. It was so nice.


We went to the zoo and got ice cream and did a little shopping.


These are Alpaca at the zoo. Alpaca fur makes such wonderful yarn.
We went to see the beavers, since we adopted one at Christmas. We didn't get to see them in action, but they had a video camera on them and we got to watch them sleep in their den.

Surprise!

I got this book in the mail today. What a nice surprise! I've looked through it once or twice at the bookstore and I went through it page by page when I got it today. There are some really great projects and a few are on my to do list now. I don't think there is a book from Melanie Falick that I wouldn't like. Did you send this wonderful suprise to me?



If you did, please tell me so I can THANK YOU!

Knitting

I got this wonderful Alpaca yarn for my birthday. It is from a farm in Michigan. http://www.veravidenovich.com/

I found this pattern http://www.scoutj.com/files/TOAST.pdf and decided it would be perfect. I'm just over half done with the first one. The yarn is so nice to knit with. Love it.
