Here is the rainbow baby blanket that was orginally supposed to be for our new grandbaby that was due in August. Sadly, our grandbaby was born to Heaven on January 27. It was another one of my UFO's...tucked way back in the closet since the day my step-son called to tell us the sad news. I'm not sure why I decided to finish it except that I'm considering donating it to the baby shower our church is holding for new mothers in need. My husband thinks that I should save it for when the kids have another baby, but I'm not so sure. My daughter, Chelsea, is modelling it. The pattern is a simple one; the same one that I used for all of the dish cloths I gave away as presents last Christmas.
I'm not sure why, but when I edited the pic in PictureIt!, the purple band in the middle showed up dark blue. So, I had to tweak it a little bit in order for the colors to look somewhat like they do.
The good news today is that my daughter, Kirstin, was recognized at the Awards Ceremony for grades 7 - 12. She received a Superior rating at State/Region for her singing solo and was presented with a certificate and medal. The kids all had a pretty good day; no major incidents for which I am grateful. I think Chelsea is getting a bit worried about her big day tomorrow, but she will be, or should be okay. Our 6th graders are all going 30 miles down the shore for "the big track meet"; our town vs. another. She is excited about wearing her flaming pink t-shirt :-)
