Finished!!!

I told you I would have some finished objects for you soon! I finally went to the post office and mailed a package to our friends in KY. Their baby just turned a month old, so I wasn't too late. I made the Baby Boy Vest from Sock Yarn One Skein Wonders. I loved this pattern. I used Dream In Color Classy, which is my most favorite yarn ever. I wish I could afford to knit every project with this yarn. Sadly, I'm too poor. :-) I do have a few more skeins of this yarn in my stash though, so for that I am grateful. I do realize this isn't the best picture, but it's all I've got on this camera card. I think I took pictures on my other camera, but that one isn't as easy to upload pictures from.



I also made this adorable 6x6 photo album. I printed all papers and images on my Cricut Imagine using the Nursery Tails Cartridge. The months of the year were stamped with a set of Close To My Heart stamps.

My intent is for the recipient to put a picture of the baby taken each month of the first year of his life on the intended pages. I included enough journaling boxes for her to journal if she chooses, or she can place another photo on that page. Hopefully she likes it. It was fun to make! I also made invitations for Mikayla's birthday party. I do realize her birthday was last month, but we had just moved into this house. So, I told her she would have to wait until February to actually have her birthday. We don't have parties every year for each child. They usually take turns. Last year Liberty had a big party, so this year will be low-key for her. Mikayla hasn't had a party for friends in a couple of years, hence the party at the skating rink. She is looking forward to it!
