The girls and I are leaving today for Chicago (my home town!) with my friend Lynette and her two daughters. We’ll be seeing my brother, sister-in-law and nephew and doing the aquarium, etc. with the girls. I can’t wait! I am especially anxious to see little Ian – he’s turning one next week and I have a car full of goodies.
While packing, I found the old ski hat I knit for Fatty.
Yep, black with blue and purple! And look at what I knitted into the facing…
That’s young love for you!
I’m bringing along some more knitting – this time for a Christmas present. And because I cannot sit still, I have packed up my embroidery supplies, hoping to organize them while Lynette drives.
The anticipation of this trip has been unparalleled. Can you guess our destination?
That’s right: American Girl Place. I have told the girls that they can each buy one outfit for their doll. But I am likely to cave – I almost always do. I am hoping I don’t – keep your fingers crossed for me!
Have a great weekend – I will be back on Sunday or Monday!
Have a fabulous time – going home is always so good. Stay strong at American Girl Place! And I love the hat’s interior, a labor of love.
have a great trip!
