I was freaked out too when there was thunder and lightening. I thought I was hallucinating.
I can attest to the beauty of the bella mittens. I saw Meg’s WIP and they are gorgeous and now I want some, too!! You left your pattern at aunt Laurie’s and everyone talking about your awesome knitting. Also, I saw her v-stitch scarf!! AND HER COAT AND SHOES! Because I’m RELATED to her so I’m also famous!
I want some cookies.
Please make me some:-)
I saw one of the Namaste bags online too! And I BEGGED my husband to buy it for me for Christmas, he was reluctant because I already have a lot of bags, I am definitely a bag girl. But I know he did because the box came in the mail today! The pictures of your little guy in the the snow are so cute! Happy Holidays!
Cute shoes, cute kid in cute handknit things, cute bag!
