thanks, everyone
All of you who had a part (and you ALL had a part – whether monetarily or through prayers and thoughts for him while he was gone) in the Boy’s trip to Europe . . . head on over to Lessa’s to hear a snippet of the choir’s performance from last night. I know, it is not the same as being there, but you will get a taste.
I, being the old softy that I am, was near to tears during several of their pieces. Most of the music was done without music. Some was done with instruments – viola and violin, flute, French horn. Lovely.
I, being the thrifty, crafty person that I am, took along one of my knitting projects – the felted bag – and worked on it while sitting through a 2 1/2 hour concert(!! – long, but worth it!!)
Harumpf! Well, I was going to post the photo here and brag about how much I had gotten done (see, moosie, it does not pay to brag!), but apparently flickr is having some sort of hissy fit and will not allow me to share. So – look over there to the right – if that is still working – and click on the pictures there. The bag is the two toned piece – I am showing you with my fingers where I was before the concert and you can see how much was accomplished during the concert.
here, I will post a thumb and you can go on to flickr to see the fullsized pic – how’s that?
The pink is the progress I made yesterday morning on the antique patterned baby bonnet. It is a sweet pattern.
So – I am off to work – everyone have a stupendous day!

The Boy is home, Lessa writes. More on that after he wakes up, I’m sure.I just got a ahug from the boy who came to see me bearing a gift. A keychain featuring the Eiffel Tower. All together now . . . awwwwwwwwwwwwww

I feel like the famous Ms. White as I point you over to the right . . .
see the new icon? (thanks, Lessa!!) Yup, I have joined the ranks of 451 Press. I am the new Knitting Passion writer for 451. So, I may be calling on some of you from time to time to share your latest knitting tales.
And, now, I am off to the main job. Yay! Tomorrow I get to attend the Job Fair as a representative for the agency. I always enjoy that.
as promised – here are the pics of our sweaters. I cropped the other two ladies because I don’t have their permission to show their faces.

my friend, B, the ring leader of our little group. 🙂
