Finally! I finished the baptisim blanket! This is going to Getzemani (sorry kid I didn't name you) He is my DH's cousins first born. This is also the cousin that helped us put in the immigration papers for my husband. Getzemani was supposed to be born 2 weeks before Iva (her full name is IvaDeimari Miakoda- please tell me I didn't scar her for life like Enrique and Gaby did with Getzemani!) So, I was a little too busy to finish it as a baby shower present, plus no invite. But I did get it
finished for the baptism - yes invite, no show-work. So I think I'll drop it off this weekend.




This is the card I made to go with the blanket, I have to remember to rotate the pics before I post.


This is a pic of Daniel holding Iva. (His full name is Daniel Gianni not that bad-right? His name means Daniel : my judge is God. Gianni : my God is benevolent /gracious. Her name means Iva : precios gift from God. Dei :God. Mar : sea. Miakoda : the power of the moon.)




These are pictures of my International Tote Exchange
II package which arrived in the mail today.
I asked Daniel to bring the box inside and he literally droped it just inside the door. Still had to thank the kid after all, I didn't specify where inside. Then after we put the groceries away I asked him if he wanted to open the package with me, he pulled the tab. I took out the packages and took the pic. Then he helped me rip the tissue paper off the packages. He made sure to shred each piece, which was a drag to pic up because we were expecting company in an hour. I got most of it picked up. Then I went through the patterns. I thought wow, how did she know I was fixing to make sweaters? And for kids? It took a while... let say its because I was so excited, but it took me quite a while figure out that its getting cold and I've got two kids, what else am I going to make? Daniel and I sat and picked out sweaters we liked. Then I petted the yarn... its so soft and so thin! It really feels like velvet! I flipped though the books sort of reading the childrens book to Daniel ...hey, we were expecting company and plus, I had patterns to look at! Anyway, I added more WIMs to my list which is already so long that I'll just dream of finishing it. I never got to the magazine...remember, it snowed green and red and white paper...and we were expecting company. So... I've been having fun dreaming of finishing those new WIMs....some even are knitted!
I'll go look at those some more.....Thank you! Thank you Sherri!
