Party People

Today, we are party people, because this well- balanced boy turns 4!

Peppa's friends are ready to party, too...

Though they were not enthusiastic about jumping into the gift bag for the drive over, I know they'll be excited when they see this spread! 

Mommy lets the boys pick their party theme, so this one's a combo: Peppa Pig and Danny Go!

It's going to be a fun day, but that doesn't leave much time for a thoughtful blog, so this post will be short...and sweet!

Maybe you don't have something this fun planned for this weekend, but I'm here to remind you that are only three weeks left until we can all have fun weekends at Cedar Point!

Until then, thanks for stopping by, and Knit in Good Health! 

Decisions, Decisions...Birthday Edition

Our youngest grandchild will turn 4 very soon, and my daughter has requested a certain character knit for this fine young Peppa Pig loving kid! I bought a book of patterns online,

went through all my worsted-weight, acrylic yarn

and determined I did not have exactly the right colors for "Candy Cat," so I went shopping...and now I do. 

In fact, I have a nearly completed Candy Cat in my bag right now!

Trouble with that is that the kid may have a new favorite character now. By our best estimation, that would be either Rebecca Rabbit or Pedro Pony. Referencing the photo above, I certainly have the patterns for both...and I may even have the yarn. Of course, there is the distinct possibility that I'll need to go shopping again, which (let's be honest here) is no tragedy for me! But gosh...I do have some yarn here.

Still, if I can't find the right colors, there will be shopping, and decisions! After all, the party is coming, and I do NOT have time to knit ALL of the characters! (After all, I've "wasted" significant portions of my spring break playing with these hooligans...lol!) 

So, it seems that it is time to make a decision! I wonder what I will choose for this kid...?

Whatever the choice, I am sure that the toy will be well loved, and that will be a birthday-edition WIN, so I'll take it! I hope you are also having some wins where you can, and if it's your birthday soon, I hope you have cake!

Happy Everything!

Happy April!

(aka - Happy Birthday to meeee! Thanks, kids, for the celebration!)

Happy Easter!

(Well, tomorrow, but we're nearly there! I've filled chocolate eggs for the boys...shhhh! And knitted eggs for the office. )

Happy Spring! 

(This is one of my favorite office decorations so far, and it can stay up all month!)

A time of remembrance and renewal, and a celebration of color, which has been reflected in my knitting!

Whatever you are celebrating this spring, I pray that you will be surrounded by hope and joy, and an explosion of color to brighten your world! If you're celebrating the Resurrection with me tomorrow, He is risen! He is risen, indeed!
