A Baby Kimono
The Baby Kimono is on its way to its new home, set to arrive tomorrow.
I wrapped it and the burp cloth, some super cute little booties, and some onsies in a box and sent them off to the mom-to-be. Mom-to-be has been confined to bed rest for the remainder of her pregancy, and she doesn't knit! I don't know how she's going to keep from going crazy. But, I sent along some books - fiction and the puzzle variety and some lotion to cheer Mom-to-be up. Personally, I think a little bed rest would be pretty cool. I could catch up on my knitting, watch some serious tv and movies, and catch up on my sleep. Of course, I'd want to be able to decide when I'd had enough and I was ready to get up, but you know, I'm pretty sure I could swing it for a day or two (or week or two?).
Tomorrow morning at 6:00 (yes, a.m.) I'm off to Estes Park for my first spinning class. I Map Quested all of my destinations and hopefully I won't get lost. But tonight promises to be super busy. Why oh why do I always wait to do everything? I need to do some serious laundry, and pack when that's done, pack Lennie, get gas, go to the bank, help my Mom pick up stitches on her Noni bag, water all the flowers and make a list for Travis so everything doesn't die while I'm gone. I swear I do this on every trip I take! I'm driving myself crazy. But, the good news is that I got my big work project done, so I can be gone for a couple of days without feeling guilty or worrying about getting fired.
I doubt I'll have computer access while I'm in Estes Park, but if I do, I'll post all about my class. If not, I'll have lots of pictures and info to share when I get back. Oh, that reminds me. I need to charge my camera. Yipes.

The kimono is so cute! We all leave things too long before a trip. Even making a list of things for Smith to do I would always come home to dead plants on the patio. There...we now have rocks instead. See you on Friday!!

What a cute sweater! Love the patriotic ribbon too!
Enjoy Estes Park! Hope you learn all that you want to, and have some fun too!
And honestly, is there anyone in the world that is on the ball enough to get all of their pre-trip preparations done before midnight the night before a trip? I don't think so!

Have a great time at Estes. That kimono turned out so cute. the new mom will love it I'm sure.
I often wonder what people do when they have long car rides, or at home stuck in bed, etc if they don't knit. It's inconceivable.

That's one terminally cute kimono! Love the r/w/b ribbons, too. Safe trip (you need a Magellan!) and enjoy the spinning class. I've given Anne Podlesak instructions to lead you to the good spinning stuff....and you all have to work on Margene to BUY A WHEEL!

Enjoy your trip, and that's a seriously cute baby kimono!

Adorable, I love the ribbon ties. I had to put my kimono-in-progress away for a while. My friend had a miscarriage and it's really sad.

super cute kimono!! hhmmm, i'm actually thinking that bedrest would be the PERFECT thing for me right now :) *sigh* if only work didn't interfere with my leisure time.

Funny thing I just got my Mason- Dixon book and decided I wanted knit the kimono. I love the red white and blue ribbons.

So super cute! Great colours. Nice to see a non pastel baby top. I've only just seen the hourglass pictures (where have I been). Absolutely brilliant! What a great fit and colour.
