Yey, I finally found the other battery charger for my camera! Thank you again Sarah for my wonderful SSCS gifts! Not the best picture of me.... but I LOVE this apron and bag. I always use aprons when I'm cooking or baking, and this one is now my favorite one! The bag is just so cute, I'm saving it for warmer days, it will be my "spring bag". Please take a look at Sarah's blog- she has much better pictures of my lovely gifts :-)
Remember I said I was hoping to finish the sweater I was working on by the end of January? Well, last night I finished it- finally! The pattern is from Dale of Norway, and it is the Norwegian Ski federations 100th anniversary sweater. It was supposed to be for me, but I think I will have to give it to Kristine when she comes home from Texas tomorrow. Whohoo- I'm so excited, my little (actually she's not so little anymore...) girl is coming home. I've missed her so much! Well, we all have. We'll be heading for the airport tomorrow morning- it's a 3 1/2- 4 hr. drive.
Here's the whole sweater- badly out of focus- sorry guys!
Now who are these girls you may ask? Hopefully they will be finished by the end of the weekend.... I'll give you a clue: AnnAKa!
Have a wonderful weekend, and thank you for reading!
Indeed of the beautiful gifts! A lot of fortune:))) I love the pink sweater! Have a great and creativity New Year!Hugs

What a beautiful sweater. Kristine is a lucky young lady to be getting it.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty sweater- I love all the pink/brown combinations I am seeing. IN fact, I just finished a quilt (just for me!) with lots of those fabs in.
