Tulip Baby Cardigan

This is Chrissy's completed Tulip Baby Cardigan made from yarn from Dream in Color. I did it in just a few weeks and it was lots of fun. It only comes in 6-9 month size, darn it. I've had lots of friends suggest making it for adults, too.

This is Chrissy modeling the sweater. She is 2 months old, so this should last most of the winter, I hope. Isn't she cute? ;-)

Another baby hat

This is another hat from Itty-Bitty Hats. Isn't it cute? The lilac color makes it different, but really pretty. I think Chrissy will look really cute in it. I made a 6mo size, but I didn't use double point needles. I have a seam in back. It was so much easier. The yarns are the Teddy Spring Time, which is 100% acrylic. It's really soft, too.

Update on my mother. She is moved successfully and doing ok in the dementia unit. I'm praying a lot for her. I won't get to see her until October when we go out to Nevada.

September 11, 2007

Although I am a very patriotic person and this flag means wonderful things to me and millions of others, today is more than just patriotism to me. Today is my mother's 92 birthday, also.

She is currently living in her own home in California, but will be moved on Thursday to an Alzheimer's unit in a facility in Nevada. I'm happy for her birthday and longevity, but very sad because she doesn't know us or even herself for that matter.

My father died 30 years ago and Mom has had a second husband who she outlived, too. She has had a long, good life and it still is good for her. This disease is probably the most difficult for her family who she no longer knows.

Although I've sent a card and enclosed a picture of myself, my daughter and her brand new great-granddaughter, I still wish her a happy year ahead. I only wish she actually knew who I was for a brief moment.
