First order of business, I have to send out some thank yous. My friend, MM gave me these pretty flowers (thank you!) and I thought it would be fun to take a pic of them with Syd. For some odd reason, she was afraid of them. I think it was the sound the vase made when I sat it on the tile. You can see her kind of leaning away from them in the pic and I love the expression on her face. :) –“I know I’m going to get a treat, but I don’t like this one bit. Crazy flowers in some sort of container can’t be trusted…..”<\/br>

\n<\/br>A friend of mine made this incredibly gorgeous blanket and then gave it to me. I’m still not sure how I got to be so lucky. She’s a great friend and an incredible crochet mentor. I couldn’t believe how fast she finished it. I will treasure it always. Thank you, Sam!<\/br>\"Blanket<\/a><\/br>
\nEvery time I get the camera out, Syd thinks it is all about her, so I couldn’t resist including her in a pic. :)

\nIt has been a very busy few weeks. I helped hostess a baby shower last weekend and that was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed making a corsage and figuring out what to do for favors. Sam was also sweet enough to make these cute baby bootie mint holders. I can’t wait to meet Baby since his parents are so great! :)<\/br>

\nMeanwhile, I finished knitting the border for the Neopolitan baby blanket, but the 16th sq. was giving me so much trouble that I think I’m going to have to visit the LYS (local yarn shop) for some help on the climbing vines. I’ve tried them 3 times and am missing something. Now that I have missed the fair deadline, I am thinking of also reworking the easiest square on the blanket to be something more complicated, but we’ll see if I decide to just use the completed one.
\nI did some experimenting with seaming and decided I liked single crocheting on the front the best. It doesn’t lie 100% flat, but I really like the way it looks. So, I’m starting to assemble it and maybe I’ll try to get to the LYS this week…<\/br>
\nI am making great progress on the crocheted cables blanket with the chocolate edging and might even finish that today which would be awesome! :) I’m really jonesing for a completed project. :)<\/br>
\nWe went to see the hot air balloons yesterday. That was pretty cool…There is something fabulous about all that color and fire. Thanks, MC, for introducing us to the Lake Flights. :)<\/br>\"Balloons\"<\/a>\"Balloon\"<\/a><\/br><\/br>In other news, I saw the Ugly Truth recently. I enjoyed it.
\nI also saw the Hangover not too long ago. It was pretty good too. Now I know what to do when I discover a Tiger in my bathroom. :)<\/br>
\nPeas out.<\/br>
