Domestic Goddess? (Why yes, Sara is!)

So, I just got back from a trip to the Lone Star state. Where there was swimming and drinking and rock star run ins and lots and lots of tacos. Soooo many tacos. It was glorious. There was also my wonderful host...one of my very favorite people in the world and together with much wine and retail therapy we solved many of the world's problems. (Erin, post a picture of the towel rack for proof!)

While on the plane I also managed to finish a baby blanket for a friend who is, at any minute, going to be having baby number two. Now, here's my confession. I began this blanket for baby #1, more than two years ago. Crafty-gift fail! But, there is redemption in the works (hopefully to be posted this summer) and this turned out pretty cute.

The border was an easy nice finish to the light weight blanket. Incidentally, this was not the yarn I started out with. Somehow I didn't have enough to finish the entire border with the much darker variegated yarn I started with. So, there was a trip to the Yarn Barn (a San Antonio crafting institution, that is CLOSING because the store's proprietress is moving to a cooler local, imagine, not liking the South Texas summers). But, this yarn this was a close second to what I had in mind.


(I am currently dog-sitting my mother's 4 dogs. This brings the grand total of canines in the house to 6. My mother's retriever mix, Brautigan, is not as impressed with my creation as I'm sure you all will be.

Oh, and this morning I am totally feeling like a domestic goddess because I made granola! It is cooling on the oven, looking all golden and nutty. I'm very excited to eat it for breakfast. It was just as easy as Linda assured me it would be.

This post is counting in the babies and little people category. (Oh, and it lists the author in tiny letters at the bottom of every post.)
