Project of the week
I’m having trouble settling on a project. I’ve started a few, but this seems to be the one I’m sticking with lately:
I think I started it because I made a mistake a few rows back, and now have to rip out a thousand or so stitches on this one:
I can only bring myself to do it for about 15 minutes at a time, and then must put it down, or risk crying.

Busy Days and Spring Flowers
I’ve not posted very much lately, but I have been a bit busy. Three weekends ago, I went to Chestnut Hill College’s Honors Convocation, and found out that I had won the Sister Matthew Anita MacDonald Award in recognition of my academics, leadership and community service. It was so wonderful to have my family with me as I was recognized for my achievements.
My brother came all the way from California to celebrate with me (and play with Gabe)! I even managed to get some knitting done.
Two weekends ago, I attended graduation, where I was awarded my degree in Mathematics.

This past weekend, we bought lots of lovely flowers to brighten up the campsite.

Current Knitting
I’m making a sweater called Alyce from White Lies Designs. I’m using Classic Elite Premiere, which was purchased at Rosie’s Yarn Cellar.
Here is the short row shaping on the back, and details of the leaf motifs.

Lots of Birthdays!
Beth made Grandmom a marble cake with chocolate icing:
She made Poppy a banana walnut cake from his mom’s recipe:
Andrew had his very own chocolate mousse cake with 22 candles in it:
If we had put a candle for each year, there would have been 161 candles lit!
And everyone had a good laugh.
Then all of the sudden, it got quite dark.

Lots of Love
This wonderful, yummy dessert was made by following the Fork You Quick Fork: Quick and easy Mousse
Warning: it is very rich and a little goes a long way.
Gabe is growing so fast, it’s hard to believe that he’s 3 months old now. He loves to sing along with his Pop pop, even if he can’t make words yet.
