My knit group

Every other thursdays is knitting day. And I love my knit group. They are an amazing group of women who are such good friends. So supportive and nurturing and fun and silly and talented. In a word, awesome. I feel privileged to know them and have them as my friends.

Today we had my birthday celebration. Whenever anyone has a birthday we do a pot luck lunch, cake and super snarky cards. Both the food and the cards were really good today. Cyd made these great little tarts with blueberries from her own bushes.

Susan brought a great quinoa salad with butternut squash, pears and pine nuts set on a bed of greens.

And Jennifer brought this beautiful, delicious champagne cake.

The card on the right was made by Heather. She chose a Parisianne theme because Rick got me a ticket to Paris for my birthday. My friend Kristy and I are going at the end of this month and we are so excited about it.

But I’ve got to brag about Jennifer today. This is what she’s been knitting this week. Yes I did say this week. She is making this as an auction item. I hope it sells for thousands. A knitted nativity. Unbelievable!

I am so lucky to be blessed with such good friends and family.
