Operation Pom Pom: The Finale

There is a lot of excitement that goes into a 2 year olds birthday party.
The planning
The invites
The food
The gift buying and making.
The expectation that your gift will be the one that makes her forget all the rest.
Except you forget, the recipient is 2 and is having gobs of gifts and sugar thrown at her and trying to process it all at once.

I was in charge of pictures.
I took a lot of pictures.

I also made sure my gift was last.
She dug her hands right into that box of PomPoms with a sweet little grin on her face.
Perfect.
It was all I expected and more.

I also gave her her sweater, a seuss book about sharks, her cowl and her baby shark earrings. She opened those before everyone came over and she loved the baby shark earrings. Wanted them put in immediately and wanted to show everyone.

It was a great day.
I'm so lucky that little peanut and I get to be apart of each others lives.

Rock on Bean
PomPom fight at Nana & Papa's next time I'm there!

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you...

Finished Object

I'm not good at keeping surprises a secret...I get so excited that I usually blow it. Well not this time... I knit this sweater for Bump and had the buttons custom madefor it by Buttons by Robin, a wonderful shop on Etsy... She used a photo of Rupert that I emailed her...Rupert is their (Bump, C & M's) family dog... I couldn't post a photo until they had received the sweater which arrived on their doorstep last night... Oh how I wish I could have been there when they got it! It turned out amazing! Pattern: Baby Sophisticate Yarn: Big tweedy Cashmere (lucky boy) Please check out Robin's shop on Etsy I know you'll find buttons you love and she does amazing work!

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?
