Ahh, Its Friday!
I sometimes love the end of the week..It usually means a rest from what I have been doing during the week. I'm planning on a restful weekend. A time to just reflect and get ready for the new week.
My gd Gabbie is getting baptized this sunday morning! She has grown so quickly. I am hoping to add her to Crocheter's Attic Teens very soon. She is excited about learning and about possibly some of her friends involved online with this new little group.
Today also marks the end of the Baby Sweater I have been posting. I will post in a few minutes the Finishing. I'm personally working on a different sweater pattern.. It seems easy at this point of time. Its called Aunt Jen's sweater? I'm doing it in a varigated Bernat blues. Having finished my ripple ghan I'm planning on making a little teddy bear to go with it..so this should be kinda fun for the mom who receives it for her baby.
Now for the Finishing to the Baby Sweater...
