a day to celebrate

today is amanda's baby shower so graciously hosted by tracey! thank you tracey, you are such a lovely hostess, welcoming everyone, and the food is yum!  here is my gift to your new babe amanda, i intended to wrap it so you would be surprised, but this tiny bunny insisted on posing instead. he is knit from organic cotton from the book vintage knits for modern babies. ravelry notes soon.  :)

when the first baby laughed for the first time,

the laugh broke into a thousand pieces

and they all went skipping about,

and that was the beginning of fairies.

soon to arrive sweet bundle of joy!

today is an extra extra special day as it is my husbands birthday. and my grandsons. my lovely men are

forty eight and eleven today. here are some things i've made (am making)....

when i knit, i stitch with bliss

and with every stitch

there went a kiss.

i hope you have the most wonderful day my guys.

a photo of us that chuck loves, it's even in a frame (which hardly ever happens!) and a cowl knit with no pattern, only about nine inches of seed stitch in a very soft and cosy alpaca. i hope it keeps him warm. i'm going to make you a sweater honey, promise.

 and a kroy sock basic beanie for travis. it's knit on a size three and size five needle. i haven't gotten to the size five yet, but when i do (soon!) it should go alot faster and be off the needles in time for the birthday party tonight. he's getting a new deck pad for his surfboard too, something he really wants!

i'm late to the shower, and i want to take my husband out to breakfast, but when i get back i'll add the ravelry links.

have a wonderful day!
love, lori
