Pink Saturday

Silly me!! Last weekend I meant to link my last post to Beverly at How Sweet the Sound and I completely neglected to do just that. Our community fair happened and since I'm the treasurer of the group, I stayed pretty busy all weekend and this past week. I usually don't finish for a least a month because I have to wait on the utility bills and such. Unfortunately, we didn't do as well as usual because we moved it to Mother's Day and the people just didn't come out. Fair and festivals are a big part of South Louisiana and ours celebrates the food of the people or "Fete du Monde".

Meanwhile I did receive a perfectly PINK package in the mail from Jess at Kids Napping? I'm
Scrapping! Jess does the most beautiful tags, swaps and ATC's. I had participated in a Red, White and Blue Book Tag swap a couple of summers ago and love my Patriotic Book! She had a blog birthday and did a pink giveaway and my comment won!! A beautiful Mother's Day surprise. Just look at all these goodies. I can't tell you my favorite but that little bird pin is adorable! I'll have so much fun just looking at all these things!! Isn't her packaging darling too?

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day and has another beautiful weekend. We finally got some rain (and of course, are expecting record rising waters for the next few weeks) and I think summer weather is here. See y'all!

p.s. Please check out my previous post~I'm pretty proud of my chair.

Wonderful win, Wonderful project

I'd first like to thank Freda's Hive for this stack of incredibleness! I won these last week or so and when I received them I was so thrilled! I want to make some valentine gifts and these prints are perfect. Now to decide exactly what to make!!

Next is a picture of the knitting project I started. Of course, I didn't have the same yarn which will make a size difference (which doesn't matter) but the small yarn is probably making it harder to see what I'm doing. Taking each row at a time and still have to rip back. The written instructions are much more confusing than the chart. At first I was so intimidated by the chart but now that I understand it I can follow it better. Hopefully I'll finish this before I become too frustrated! Linking to kootoyoo for the fun of checking out more fun blogs. A good winter past time especially when one has a cold!
