Winner!

Wow I always seem to forget that Wednesdays is my knitting night with my girls (when available).  Which means I get home late, especially now relying on getting rides and public transportation (Dad says my car should be fixed by this weekend though!).

Balloon Animals + Chili's + Margaritas/Beers + Knitting + US = Awesome

I definitely meant to draw the number last night but didn't quite get to it.  So here it is....

Comment #4 was Angie!  We actually knit together on Thursday evenings Village Knitter so I guess I won't have to ship anything.  Angie blogs over here if you want to check up on her and nag her to keep posting :o)

Thank you to everyone who entered!  Thanks to my obsessive book buying, I have another double set of books (oh Borders, your sales were too good to say no to!) so I'll probably have another giveaway at some point.  Keep an eye out.

And how can I leave you without some Abby-loving??

I stole these pictures from her Mommy's Facebook...

Coming home from her first doctor's appointment.  Apparently she screamed the whole way home, but I don't believe it judging by this picture.

1 week old already!  She's about half the size of the blanket and twice the size of her Minnie doll.

Last Day and a Quick Update

Football hat for Abby's photoshoot

Wow I actually was called for work today!  I'm going to be a gym teacher for the day.  So a short and sweet update for you all.

I stopped by to visit Abby with my Mom yesterday.  She's as cute as ever!  My cousin told me that everyone at the hospital loved the Mickey blanket I made for her.  She said they used it for the Our 365 (professional in-hospital) photos and brought  her home in it :o).  See more here and here.

Don't forget to leave a comment for the 100th post giveaway!  I will be drawing up the random number generator sometime tomorrow so get your posts in asap!

****Pictures will be here soon!  I took a picture of the items this morning on my camera, not realizing the computer at work doesn't have an SD card slot so I can't download them right now.  But I really wanted to get this post out today so here it is, naked until this evening or tomorrow morning.  I didn't take the pictures earlier because of this wee one dropping in late last night:

But more on her soon :o)
