This is one of my recent projects. I just finished the "J" tonight. The letter pillows are for 2 very special people. The "K" is for my godchild/niece, Kasha. The "J" is for my godchild/nephew, Jordan. Apparently, the alphabet is very popular with high school kids these days. I made them in cotton, so they would be snugly. I'm hoping to give it to them this weekend.

I went to Thai Classic on Clark near Roscoe Street tonight. This was a wonderful dinner. We were able to have Rambutan, Lechee, Longon and Mangosteen fresh. Normally these fruits are only available frozen or canned.

What an experience... It was so good on Sunday, I had to bring my Mom, Luchia and Dawn Sue today.
I better use the Wii fit for an hour tomorrow!

I finished the 2nd blanket finally. I think I will take a break with blankets for awhile. I need some instant gratification. Maybe the fat baby will be next or should it be the sushi scarf.

I don't actually remember what she is riding, but it was really funny. Especially when she realized I video taped it.

Finished - Make it yours Pocket Pals Blanket
Bear & Blanket

Happy Mother's Day!
I finished the Pocket Pals blanket and added the great Cubby Bear that George (Hubby) picked up for me. The blanket was very easy, but very time consuming. Since the pattern is all single & half double crochet, it took a long time. The pocket is all single crochet.
I finished the blanket earlier today, then came the pocket sewing. But, I think I did a pretty good job.
Today was a very busy day, I made Mother's Day lunch for my Mom, Uncle Mike, Momica (Mother-In-Law), and Tati (Father-In-Law).
You wanted to know, right!

O' I just love them. They are from Neiman Marcus' 2007 Christmas. I found hangers for them today at the Michael's, on sale. They even look like they are kissing. I shall put them near my Lalique Crystal fish from last year. When I make a million dollars, I plan on buying the Lalique Aquarium with a bunch of crystal fish. Of course, that will sit next to my room size saltwater aquarium.
