Yummy Handspun Baby Blanket

I have this amazing friend who is pregnant (Yay!) She is a good soul and this baby is a well worth the wait gift. About a year ago she brought me 2 skeins of the most yummy & delicious wool handspun I have ever seen/felt. The softness is unbearable. The colors are muted, soft, taupe & grey, just delicious. She asked that when she gets pregnant if I could knit her a baby blanket. The answer was yes (no question, but the yarn was an extra push to start a new project.) Fast forward 4 months and she finds out she is pregnant!

This holiday was a bit crazy and we finally got the house back to normal: holiday decorations down, 7 bags of trash waiting for Thursday and a studio clean and fresh and ready for some action. Thus..... the beginnings of a yummy lap blanket (tight knit, as requested ;) ).........

4th of July Fun!

What better way to spend a holiday then with good friends at an outdoor BBQ? Hannah loved the pool and Roland was a great pal to share all of his cool outdoor toys! Good times!

Some good things.....

Orders are coming in and it feels so good! I love to see that people enjoy the pieces on Kiss My Style ! I am so happy my smile is stuck like on your wedding day and your photos are frozen images of tensed up smiles. You can hardly tell you are still smiling by the end of the day, but you know you feel the smile even on the inside!

Christmas i almost here and our shopping is almost done. A few order left and then on to wrapping gifts and relaxing....wait... what? how is that done again? lol

Yesterday I met my first Raveler - Amber and had a great time! Good food (Panera, how can you go wrong?) and knitting (again, how can you go wrong?) we chatted for 2 hours and it was a blast. A great break from the stresses of the holidays and a new friend to boot.

Ill end with a photo of our little monkey who told me on our way out of the door: "Momo come too?" so Elmo came too.......
