The invites are out and the the acceptances have started rolling in…I remember on wedding #1 how scary it felt when the invitations were on their way.  No stopping it now! (like we really could have before!)

The imp got his invitation yesterday and he went straight to the computer and rsvp’d!  It is so funny to me how many people cannot figure out how to do it and he did both this one and the one last year in minutes.  The groom was laughing just the other night at how he comes running in from the other room with his tablet and sits down at the computer to look up things on his list that interested him.  He makes notes to himself and then checks it out.  This is why the computer sits right in the middle of our living room so we know what he’s up to.

I got the most fun gift in the mail today!  I sent some yarn to a friend and with her check, she also sent me a “little” gift that she made (her words).  Well, how cute is this?

Pardon the poor pictures, it was horribly windy and rainy on the porch when I was trying to snap the pictures in the last of the daylight.  I just love it!  Like most knitters, I am obsessed with bags and I love these colors.  She does such beautiful work…knitting and sewing and probably everything else she does!  Thanks, Nancy!

And this has nothing to do with anything, but several of us were intrigued with the packages of Sprees that I had at the shop…

Ok, so it doesn’t take much to entertain us but most of the packages were just random colors.

On the knitting front, I’ve done about 7 rows on the Baby Surprise Jacket but I’m not doing it in the order the kits suggests so I’m thinking on it.  If you’ve never knit one of these, it’s pretty difficult to figure out exactly what you’re doing.  I purchased the dvd and have seen parts of it, it’s starting to make a little sense.  Someone on Ravelry explained how to twist it around so you can get an idea how it goes together.  EZ was a genius!

On the Baby Surprise Jacket group on Ravelry, most people say they will be knitting many of these because they are so much fun.  Any suggestions for striping?
