Babies and Buttons

Yesterday my other cousins welcomed the newest member of their family into the world, rather unexpectedly I might add. Madelyn Grace was supposed to come sometime in May, but she decided she would rather be an April baby instead. Sorry I don’t have any photos to show, but I am told she looks like her Daddy - just like her older sister.

I only need to weave in a couple of ends, choose a button and the Stripes Baby Cardigan is complete! This little cardigan is so cute and Mom found some really cute fish buttons to go with it. I’m not 100% sold on them, in fact I think I like the natural button best.

So which ones do you like best?

It’s kinda funny but I had worked on this baby knit for so long over the past few days it was really nice to sit down and finish the second short-row toe on hubby’s next pair of socks. It seems I’m squeezing in my knitting time this week. Tomorrow I’m traveling to Nashville for another meeting. This time I will be there to present and explain why everything is going good or bad, instead of listening to someone else.

Also as each month of 2008 comes to a close and I draw nearer the October cut-off date for my job, Caveman and I both get a little more anxious! As far as job leads are concerned, there have been a few bites, but nothing more. I’m really trying not to think about it too much, ’cause when I do I really start to freak out! I do have a couple of fall-backs, but those are an absolute last resort. I am thankful that my current position is secure until then and I am just trusting that God has something great in store for us this fall.

Ok enough of the downer stuff, back to the knitting!!
