One of Three

So here is one third of my spring project. There is nothing quite like completion when you battle the making of a blanket. It starts out quite innocently...with each passing row a sense I'd progress and a satisfaction with the journey and craftsmanship. My stamina for interest cut out when I realized I needed two more balls of yarn. The halfway point is always bittersweet. You know exactly how much you have accomplished, which means you know that you have to do all that work AGAIN! But at least it is on the downward slope. By the end of this blanket I was rushing and rushing like a kid rushing to break the surface of the water after diving in the pool. Will I EVER get there?!

I sure hope the baby likes it....

Two more babies to blanket...

Baby Boy!

My brother and his wife found out last week that they were going to have a baby boy!

Thank goodness for sales at A. C. Moore! I had another cart full of yarn at the store. I have decided it is not a problem if it leaves the house within the year...

In any case this is the start of blanket one of three. I am very excited to welcome 3 new babies to the crazy Ellis nuthouse. That will bring "the presence of youth" up to 14 for me. I am told this is the greatest thing in the entire world: )

This leads me to a question for you. ..what do you think is the greatest thing in the world? I mean out of all experiences, objects, situations, EVERYTHING! What is the GREATEST?
