Ok, Ok, I know it's been awhile since you've heard from me on here. Suffice it to say that it's been a pretty busy/crazy/whirlwind week and a half or so (maybe even longer, gasp!) I've had a lot on my plate and as some of you by now know, made some pretty big changes recently.
For the rest of you wondering what I could possibly be talking about at the moment, the first major change is that I am no longer employed at ThreadBear Fiber Arts. The time came for us to part ways, and I think that it will be a good thing for everyone, in the long run. I want to thank everyone who made my time there special and enjoyable, and I hope you're as eager as I am for what new adventures await me next. Here a picture that was a gift to me when I first began my job, from the lovely http://sharonstuff.typepad.com/knitknacks (that would be Sharon). This is a picture of a bag I made, hanging in the shop as a model to inspire others. It hung in my office until yesterday when I departed for the last time as an employee and took it with me. Thank you Sharon, I enjoyed looking at it every day!
The other major changes were slightly personal and a VERY long story so I won't even try to bore you with them here. Instead I'll move on to happy, happy things!
Like a baby shower! Last Saturday Sarah, April, Emily and I threw a baby shower for Jamie, and if I may say so we did an excellent job. :) We had good food, lots of friends and family around and little Carter got very spoiled, indeed! Which is just fine with me, because as his only aunt (at least for now) I intend to spoil him HUGELY.
Here is the cake...
which Sarah got from a bakery in St. Johns, whose name I cannot yet remember...Shorty's Cakes? Something like that... Sarah, if you read this, please correct me on the name because it was a completely DELICIOUS cake, very moist with rich, rich frosting, which I know my mom and sister-in-law both loved. If you ever need a cake and you're in St. Johns I definitely recommend them.
Next....Here is Jamie with the sweater I knitted for Carter (is that even right? knitted? whatever, I'm sure you get the idea)
I can't wait to see him in it! I know he'll be so cute...of course he won't be that big for awhile (I made the 1-2 year size) but he'll be the cutest baby you ever saw in that sweater. And so what if I have a completely biased opinion? Doesn't make it less true. :)
And with that I leave you all, but I promise to be around more regularly and keep up much better than I have in the last little while. I promise!

I see that the cake matched the sweater you knitted. Coincidence? I think not. The sweater looks so good. Make sure to take a picture of Carter in it once he can wear it!
Andrea - Actually it is total coincidence. I had no part of ordering the cake. Pretty cool though, huh?
