Happy 8th Birthday, my dear daughter!  Your smile makes me happy.  Your enthusiasm makes me smile.  And your cheerful,  "Good Morning, mama!"  warms my heart everyday.

 

In the early hours of the morning the day you were born, Daddy and I bundled up, went outside and watched the Leonid meteor shower and an aurora borealis -- such a precious memory for such a precious child.  Happy Birthday!

And, of course, there was knitting...


Poofy, warm scarf made from Plymouth's Baby Rimini yarn which is a super soft boucle made from a wool and acrylic blend.  The pattern... extremely intricate...um, that is kind of knitting tongue-in-cheek (which would be quite an impossible way to knit...giggle)....anyway...I cast on 11 stitches and knit until I ran out of yarn.  (2 balls)
