Hi,
Just saw this on kijiji, and thought I'd share. Perhaps some of you other knitters out there will be able to get to it.

Baby Emily is doing great. She's drinking up to 12cc at a time now, and there is hope that she will be off the IV early next week.
Service for Baby Madison is next Friday. :(
Been knitting dishclothes, will try to get a picture of them one day soon.
Troy has no school, Katie only has school until 1:00. It's their field day. Tomorrow is our graduation party/marshmallow roast

Baby Emily Update
Just talked to my SIL, and Emily is doing much better.
They've been told that there is a 90% chance that Emily will be going home.
She's starting to drink expressed milk :)
WOOHOO!!

Sad News
Early yesterday morning my SIL had a c-section to deliver the twins.
Sadly one of the little girls (Madison) passed away shortly after that.
Emily is still hanging on, but not "out of the woods" yet.
Send prayers, supportive thoughts, etc.
Thanks!

No WWKIP Day in Shelburne this year
I've been sick for the past 2 weeks with a head cold, and just haven't had the chance to get together with Jane to plan anything. Plus she has a film crew showing up at her place at 9am on the 14th to film a re-enactment of the Loyalist Landing. Just too much life happening.
But ... we have decided to have kick-butt event next year! Book your day off now Lexa!! :)
I'm thinking the kids and I might make a road trip to Liverpool that morning; hubby will be working.
On Ravelry I'm boobearns. So creative :) Or it could be Dorothy that shows up.
Katie and I spent 2.5 hours in town this morning trying to sell cotton candy for the 4-H club. Made a few bucks more. It's town wide yard sale day ... and boy is it ever busy in town!!
Still trying to re-size the garden pictures, perhaps later today?

kick in the butt
Thank you to Barbara for the kick in the butt to get posting again :)
I've been knitting dishcloths. Some will be a moving away gift for friends of ours. Not sure what else to get them ... I'm not very gift creative.
And we've been working on the yard and gardening. I have a huge garden (10X10') of tulips, pinks and purples. I'd share a picture of them, but everytime I try to edit it it goes all pixel-ly on me. Will have to ask hubby about that later.
Speaking of hubby. He and 3 friends went on a 6 day canoe trip down the Shelburne River. Inspired by The Tentdwellers book which is celebrating it's 100th anniversary. They had fun. But were tired when they got home. This is a picture that hubby took somewhere along the way.
Myself and another wife went to pick them up on Saturday, and got lost driving to Low Landing. Lots and lots of dirt roads, thought we might have to drive over a wooden bridge with no rails ... then we saw a little sign that said "Lake Rosignol" and we found the guys.
Back to the gardening stuff. I had a 4-H leaders meeting here last night, and almost every lady commented on our gardens :)
Had a call from the school phys ed teacher this morning. They are having a speed stacking competition at the school on Monday. Our daughter tried for the team, but didn't make it. :( But, this tournament is for grade 6 only (if I heard him correctly) and he was calling to see if she would be on the team. DUH!! That fell in the category of stupid question!
And, take a look at the puppet total.
Have a good one!!

Puppet Update
My MIL arrived today, and with her she brought my SIL with her baby belly :) Oh, and 700 finger puppets!!!
Hubby just pointed out that baby should probably be plural .... babies belly?? Nah. Baby belly. But, it's a double baby belly :) Maybe I'll sneak a picture of it tomorrow.
700 puppets people!!!!
Plus 100 that aren't faced yet! She's a crazy lady ... she makes little pompoms for each puppet. That means she has made 700 tiny tiny little pompoms!!!

Hummm
I want to make this sweater, but the thing is, I'd like to use a different pattern on the shoulder/arm. Thinking something like the pattern in the monkey socks might be nice. And, oh yes, the color will not be yellow!
But first I have to finish the sweater I'm knitting for Katie; have the back and front done, and have both sleeves on the needle now. Think I mis-measured and it might be a bit on the small side. We'll see.
Here's hoping I got all those links right!!

Stuff
WWKIP Day - World Wide Knit In Public Day. Sorry for the confusion.
This is a video of Katie and myself with one of our horses, Dancer. She's the one we're hoping to sell. Anyone want to buy a horse??? :)
Been knitting on socks for myself. Finally got the thrummed mittens finished. Still have to call the lady and tell her they're finished though.
I'm making a pair of the monkey socks now; slight adaption to the pattern because I had to add more stitches to it. Hopefully it'll look OK when done. Thanks to Purly Whirly for letting me that those weren't cables, and weren't too hard to do :)
Been working in the school library all this week. Working on dishcloths there; took me two days to knit one. They'll be going in a "dishwashing stash basket" for a dutch auction here on the 28th. (6:30pm at the Lower Ohio Community Hall, in support of the Roseway River 4-H Club ... if you want to come)
Guess that's it for today.

WWKIP Day
Does anyone know when the official date is? Going by past years I'm assuming it's the second Saturday in June; which makes it June 14th this year.
There is going to be a small event in Shelburne. Location and such will be announced later on. So far we know there will be tea, coffee and food. Hopefully some local knitters will come; there'll be 3 of us there for sure :) And some knitters from "afar" ... hey Knitterpuddlians - consider this your formal invitation!!
At the same time there will be specical displays set up at the museums about the Loyalists in Shelburne - it's our 225th anniversary. Lots of events planned throughout the year.
I updated the finger puppet count. And a delivery was made this past week. I didn't count them, just filled three bags full and sent them on their way. The daughter of a friend of mine was going in for some surgery on Thursday, so they offered to deliver them for me. Finger puppets, and 24 cast socks. :)
