Pictures as promised....

Here are the pictures that I have promised, I have tried to upload these several times this week! This is my baby niece, Paige, she is 11 days old here. She's now 6 1/2 weeks. I'm hoping to get more pictures tomorrow. She was 6 pounds, 10 ounces, 20 inches long. She got really sick right after she was born with extremely high bilirubin numbers, but she's all better now.

Here I am with Paige!

This is Paige's pinwheel sweater. The colors did not photograph well, but it's so pretty, it's blues and purples. I am now working on the sleeves. I am deviating from the pattern, I don't think the sleeves on the pattern are cohesive with the rest of the sweater.

And here's Bella, had to throw a picture of her in! She was rooting around under the blankets as I was trying to take pictures of the sweater!

Pinwheel Sweater...

I am currently in the process of knitting a pinwheel sweater for my new niece, Paige, who I need to post pictures of, maybe tomorrow!!! I have been searching for just the right yarn to make this sweater. I finally found the yarn that I wanted in Joann's on Wednesday. So, Thursday night I cast it on and today I made it to the i-cord bind off, I made it through 2 sections before I just couldn't work on it anymore, my eyes are about to close on their own! I am up way past my bedtime!!

I will post pictures of Paige and the sweater next week!

TTC Day 487

This week I had 2 dominant follicle scans. The first one on Monday and one follicle was 13 mm. I was told that I had to come back on Thursday for a second one. This time I the 13mm follicle had grown to 19mm and one that was 13mm. This is the first good news we have had in the last year and a half. The therapy is working. We are now in a wait and see pattern for the next 12 days. I praying for the best!

Bevin Rae Mooney's owl Keavy arrived on my stoop today!!!! I was going to post lots of pictures, but it wouldn't let me!!! Here is a picture of everything, including my personal Dark Arts detector, Blla, hard at work! There was a beautiful hand-painted box with my muggle initial on it, it's already been put to use holding all of my knitting notions on my table! A recipe box with cards, I definately need these! And a magnetic pad of matching paper. A cupcake rubber stamp, tags to attach to my knitted gifts, an owl, Sour Jelly Belly's and 4 patterns!! Oh, and stickers to place on my baked goodies for gifts and my own owl!!! Look at these beautiful yarns, the green is alpaca, I have so been wanting to get some! It's a beautiful hand dyed greens. And the lavendar is Malabrigo, I can't wait to cast on with it!!! What to make, what to make!
