PINK & GREEN

Actually, amazingly, pretty...despite all the PINK and GREEN.

Quilt Square

I made more of the little trees for a quilt square. It's for a quilt being made for my cousin and his fiancee by her family.














The square is little wrinkly here. I had just washed it and steamed it but it needed more time to relax. I couldn't wait to take the pictures as I had to deliver the square.























Since working on this I can't bring myself to knit right now. I am working on the PINK embroidery again. Actually, I have finished with the PINK part and am working on the greenery. It is a rather pukey avocado GREEN that reminds me more of luminescent celery, but, amazingly, all together the embroidery is looking nice!

Higgledy-piggeldy

Here are my new circular needle cases. They are empty CD jewel cases. Got that idea in a Ravelry forum. Thanks, Ravelry! It works for up to about size 10.

Here is the status of the Bitty shirts to go with their new outfits.

And here they are in their winter gear. Proud of these as I made up the pattern by putting two other patterns together and making some adjustments and embellishments.

Jessie & Bill are ready for school

Mini-me has a list of clothes for the Bits in order of importance. First, they needed winter outerwear. Now they need school clothes. Here is part of their new school clothes. "Jessie" will get a pink shirt also. And "Bill" will get a blue long-sleeve shirt. They are wearing their original American Girl shirts in this photo.

Mini-me has always been about priorities. When she was three and we were buying room sets for her kitty house she determined that the first need was for a bathroom!

Also on the Bits list are dressy clothes (in case we take them to a party), robes, and ballet clothes for Bill. Jessie has girl's ballet wear from American Girl.

Ballet Update: We have four students accepted to The Rock School Summer Intensive. So they have at least one choice for the summer!
