Babies & Blankies

We joined several of the M's last night for my MIL's Birthday. A couple cocktails & burgers at the local Legion Post. Relaxed, open, honest talk, I love this family to pieces.


This baby blanket is for my niece M. She has two older girls, and is pregnant with baby #3 with her new husband. The whole family is so very excited, all 52 of us (no exaggeration).


She is showing already and very self concious. Hard to convince her she is gorgeous, and glows with excitment.


What do you do when you are 120 miles from home, and find yourself without stitch markers? Why, use your pen cap, of course. I didn't have to tink back very far to fix this. Thank goodness. Oh, and Thank You God for Sharpies.


I am on the 3rd (of 5) repeat of the 3rd texture pattern. Loving this yarn so much! I believe all the details are in my post from last week. (yarn, pattern, link, etc.)


I took Monday off to take my son, LittleC, to an out of town Jr. PGA Event. I walked the course behind him taking stats as instructed by Big Daddy. This hole was closed & roped off. The ducks loved it, the grounds crew...?...not so much.


My feet and all my clothing were soaking wet from the humidity and heavy dew. Gross. Lots of water on the course.



Well worth the trip as he tied for 1st place and qualified to golf in an end-of-season tournament.

Gosh I love this boy. (He's thrilled, can you tell?) I had to take this picture several times because he had me laughing so hard my hands kept shaking while taking the picture. Not sure how he can keep a straight face like that. Must be something he inherited from Big Daddy.


We had fun on our little road trip. He is so easy to talk to with vast knowledge and vocabulary. Fun kid, no doubt.

Looking forward to updates on everyone's projects today!

Linking with Ginny & Tami.

Later!

  3. I've never seen such an intricate blanket knit for a baby. That will become a treasured keepsake when Baby grows up. So beautiful and it isn't even finished yet.
