a little birthday gift
Filed under my life by sherriknits at 9:39 pm on Apr 26 2007
Tomorrow is going to be a busy day. I am going dress shopping (again) in the morning. When I get back to town, I need to get together with a friend and bring our little surprise tea party to another friend who owns a little gift shop. We had originally planned to invade her shop at 11, but then I had an airhead moment and scheduled an appointment to look at dresses at the same shop the daughter got her wedding dress from. I had so many things going on today, too, and Saturday is our first bridal shower. I will work for a few hours at my own shop, then head off to my sister’s to put together the invitations. Just point me where I need to go and I will go.
I will try to remember to take a little picture of the cake I got today. I got it at a bakery and she told me they bake them in tuna fish cans. I used to do that for my kids, I had the cutest tupperware cake carrier that held one tiny cake.  The cake is just enough for our little party because we’ll bring some strawberries and other things, too. I might even pick up some flowers.Â
Anyway, I got the linen face cloth finished just in time. The pattern was simple but I had so much going on I felt a little stressed trying to find the time to do it. I called my co-conspirator and told her I didn’t think I could get it done, then I managed to get a few hours to knit like crazy. We always put together something between the two of us as a gift. This was my little part and I’ll buy the food tomorrow. We got her some Sensaria face wash and some fun cosmetic bags. I think I said here before…what do you buy for the person who has the best gift shop in town? At least she doesn’t knit and really appreciates it when someone makes her something!
Here’s a peek at the cloth. Wish me luck tomorrow when I try to find something to wear to this wedding!

yarn: Euroflax Linen  pattern: Little Tents from the Dishcloth Boutique

That face cloth is a great gift idea. Hope the weekend goes smoothly!
