Valentine Recap

I finished Libby on Saturday night.  Whew.  And she loves it!  It's a little wide across the shoulders, but the sleeves are the perfect length, and it's just beautiful on her.
 The bands around the cuffs are reversed from the band around the bottom of the sweater.  That is because I was about to run out of the dark blue, so I switched it up.  I think it makes it fun.

And here are the legwarmers.  Caitlin wore them to dance on Monday afternoon.
As another Valentine surprise, I ordered chalkboard placemats from Leslie.  The kids just love them!  They have spent every meal so far doodling on them.
 On Monday, I purchased flowers for Caitlin's teacher. The place had such great prices that I picked up some for myself, too.  I chose springy yellow tulips, because even though most of our front yard is still covered in snow, I just know spring is out there somewhere!
So there was our Valentine's day.  This year I went a little overboard, but I think it was the perfect pick-me-up for mid-winter!  I hope your Valentine's day was a sweet one.

Happy Valentines Day Meg. Thanks for the card...that totally brightened my day. I love those leg warmers. I asked Kenzie if she'd wear a pair, just so I could knit them. That note from your daughter is precious. And unfortunately my girls grew too fast for libby to be a knit that I could do for them....but I so wanted to. Yours is wonderful! have a great week!

That sweater is so sweet. You have to be pleased with the results. And such Spring-y flowers. I can almost taste it in the air -- now if some of our snow would just melt.
