Birds of a feather

What started out 3 years ago as a bridal shower has turned into an annual event that celebrates the women in my family. Unfortunately everyone could not be there but we had a wonderful gathering of 8.

Taylor is the organizer and she enlists Morgan and me to help. We enjoyed cream cheese/goat cheese and cucumber sandwiches, wonderful cookies, tea, and sangria. But most of all we enjoyed the company. Love you guys! xoxo

Finished with floweres

The hats came out very cute. I might need to rent a baby to see how they look on.

The white hat is Encore Yarn (75% acrylic 25% wool) and the pink is Reynolds Saucy (100% cotton), both are worsted weight yarns on size 8 needles, knit from the top down.

You can find the pattern here: http://slumberland.org/patterns/cupcake-hat.pdf

Summer so far

Do I need to say anything about the rain? Moving on....
On one of the few sunny days I weeded the hen and chick garden. These are the cutest little popcorn chicks.

I had to have eye surgery for a torn retina

Waiting for some sunny hot weather!
