a birthday celebration


Last night we celebrated my oldest friend, Rita's, birthday. She and I have been best friends since second grade. I'm so thankful to have her in my life. She truly is one of a kind!
Below is a picture of the dessert I made. Baked pears and vanilla ice ice cream.


Here she is wearing the cowl I made for her. It's not a very clear photo but, you get the idea.

And here is a work in progress shot of another cowl I was working on and have now finished (photos to come).

Hope you all are doing well out there! Wer're off to a Christmas party tonight. Do you have any fun plans for the weekend?

  1. That cowl looks so warm and snuggly! I'm getting together with friends tomorrow afternoon to make some truffles :) And then in the evening we're having a get together for another friend who came up to visit over holidays from San Francisco.

    Great cowl!
    I think you just saved me from death by boredom - your post reminded me to take my knitting on a 30 hour bus ride starting tomorrow..

  7. Old friends are like family and so important. Especially girlfriends - they become more important the older you get. It's lovely you have a bestie like Rita. Merry Christmas to your family x
