Some Finished Objects

I finally finished the Pinwheel baby blanket for my cousin Liz who is due to have a baby in September. They tried finding out what the baby was but he/she wasn't cooperative. So intil she has the baby I can't make to much for her.



The edging was from Barbara Walker's Second Book of Knitting Treasures. It's called the tulip bud edging. I do need to block it out but was just happy to have finished it.

I know I posted on this before but just wanted to show the finish. I did finally find the perfect buttons for it at Joann's. I think they match the dress beautifully. I hope my new niece (in August) will be able to wear it.
On the home front, things are going good. Baseball ended last Saturday and I am so glad it is over. To much driving with the gas prices. My car can finally get a break. I also have been suffering from a tooth ache which the dentist thinks is from my sinus' being infected. So I am on antibiotics. Hopefully it won't flare up because they can't get me in to have the filling replaced intil October. Advil has been my friend and I am really tired of taking it.

I hope everyone is having a Happy 4th of July. We are just cooking on the grill and hanging out at home.
