*Cue the arrival music*
Jul 5th
That’s right! I have finished the baby blanket! I am actually quite impressed with myself, if I do say so… myself. Which I do. Have a look:
The magnificence! The splendor! The pink baby-ness of it all! It will please me to take this to my NICU tour on Tuesday to see if I can make it a donation, along with some of the hats that I have made. It’s always nicer to have a purpose in making these things, I think.
In other news, I nearly had a freakin’ heart attack last night when someone set off a really loud fire cracker that sounded like they were trying to break down the door. I had that momentary sense of panic wash over me until I realized what it was, knew I was being ridiculous… and went back to sleep.
Happy Independence Day!
Jul 4th
In honor of the 233rd birthday of the grand ole US of A, I am doing nothing patriotic. Because Snackpants is working and I have nowhere to go today! However, I did hit the grocery store earlier today to pick up a little American dessert:
Yellow cake, chocolate frosting, red, white and blue sprinkles… the only thing I cannot explain is the random bright pink icing in the middle. Regardless, it should be yummy after our dinner! Now I just have to figure out what we are eating…
To help escape my boredom while I watch reruns of Bones on the DVR, I am knitting a preemie baby blanket. I have a tour of the NICU coming up on Tuesday and have made some teeny tiny hats to see if the hospital will take donations, and am now working on a blanket! It’s not my first attempt at a blanket, but will be my first complete project once it’s done. It’s done in a basket weave, which looks far more complex than it actually is:
With any luck, it will be done by Tuesday so I can take it with me. Woo!
Happy 4th of July! Have fun and try not blow your fingers off with fireworks, okay??
