Rachel asked if I'd seen her friend Jocelyn's post on a knitting survey she's conducting. I hadn't, but went right to the survey and took a look. As a knitter you may find it very interesting and it will be even more interesting when Jocelyn shares her findings. I hope you'll take the time to add your input, as it only takes a couple of minutes.
Tuesday we had a celebration at SnB for Susan's birthday. She looks rather charming in her new apron, don't you think? How serendipitous that it matches her shoes!
Speaking of birthdays (and serendipity), today is Dianne's birthday. May you have a wonderful day of celebration and fun, Dianne!
Lucky me! I won a Knitnana's blog contest and the prize package arrived Wednesday. Look at the goodies inside! The yarn is a special colorway designed to honor the Blue Moon Fiber Arts Team, ST-2. I've been looking for the perfect yarn for a Lacy Baktus and this colorway will be perfect. One of her zippered Nana Sadie Rose bags housed several little treasures (stitch makers, a tiny sock, a knit llama pin and buttons from Sock Summit), the soap is pink(!) and it smells so delicate and sweet. The gluten free cookies are very good and while I did sample one, I'll save the rest to have with the lovely tea also included. Thank you Sallee for a very special contest prize!
PS I don't know who designed the pretty buttons I shared with you yesterday. If I run across them again I'll make a note and let you know.
Enjoy your weekend!!
All good things. Happy Friday!

As far as the apron on the birthday girl? I'm loving the pearls! So glad you won in that contest... I remember you dangerously pointing us in that direction a while back. Enjoy!

Oh, Susan looks like the epitome of the 50s housewife, and the location at the diner just adds to it perfectly!

A week of fun! Sallee really knows how to put together a thoughtful goodie bag, doesn't she?

Why, if it isn't Little Suzy Homemaker!

I'm so glad it was you that won Sallee's contest... those are definitely 'your' colors! Susan looks so darn cute, she must be getting younger each year instead of older... would you ask her how she's managing that!
