Phew!

This little bit of floral knit and stretch elastic is finally in the mail on its way to a wee little unborn friend whose mother and I played together as children (including writing an entire musical about woman's suffrage, and eating only things that began with "Pop" for an entire day (popcorn, poptarts, popscicle)). Congrats to her on near motherhood; an endless imagination and willingness to play goes a long way in raising kids so she's got a great start.

In the same post office trip I sent out some grown up versions of the shoes I make for babies and a knitting needle case for my mom's birthday. I had no dimensions to work with for the knitting case so I winged it (wung it?) and made up for total lack of knitting knowledge by using the teal velvet of the previously mentioned chair to make the case. I think she will love the velvet so much she will not notice the bunchy zipper or the small hole at the base of the zipper that no sewing machine needle could ever close, or the fact that her knitting needles might not actually fit. Here's hoping.

And the aqua and green floral dress for my sister whose birthday was February 23, for crying in the night, is also finally in the mail. So you see I'm making progress, even if I'm about a month behind.
