I WIN!

Wow! And that about says it….. Wow!!! I won one of Becky’s prizes for the Bucket Hat knitalong. I’m thrilled! I don’t typically win things. Thank you so very much Becky! Here’s the link, for anyone who might like to read the announcement for themselves. (Most of you have probably read it already, that was primarily for Grandma.)

Yesterday was indeed eventful. Miss Olivia finished her scarf!

I was able to take some cute pictures of Abigail and her completed backpack!

(I’ve started saving images differently, making them larger pictures with smaller files. They work beautifully on my computer, but if anything isn’t working for you, please let me know.)

I would once again like to thank Yvette in France for making a liner for Olivia’s, as we’ve had our first messy spill, and I was able to shake it out instead of trying to brush it out of felted mohair fibers. Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!

What a day!

Voting for the People’s Choice award is happening all this week at this link at Fluffa!. There are some great hats to vote for. While I am eligible for this contest, having already won a prize, I am not going to solicit votes for myself. But in the spirit of the knit along, and our upcoming Primaries, (fellow Americans), I would encourage everyone to go and vote!
