Here's a baby quilt I made for my niece when she was born. It's the first quilt I ever made in my life and it's pattern is most commonly known as "Trip Around the World".
Here's some of my favorite skeins of yarn in my knitting basket. I wish the picture could convey the softness of these two pinks, all tucked in with the rest. Softer than springtime...
I'm an Irish lass and nothing tickles me more than these super adorable PINK Shamrock socks!Beverly, our Pinks Saturday hostess, has thrown down the gauntlet with a challenge to share a link to a fellow Pinkie Poster that is new to me. Since this is only my third venture into Pink Saturdays, everyone is new to me! Last Saturday I discovered Nan from Retired in Alaska. I really enjoy her blog, so I suggest you stop by and see her! Her pictures, her crafts and stories are wonderful. What a courageous woman to brave the Alaskan wilds!
Thanks for Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for hosting Pink Saturdays.
Happy Pink Saturday,
Maggie Mae
And please come back on Monday for I have a special little surprise for everyone!
