A gift from Kathy B, knitted squirrel and azalea's

This gorgeous vest arrived in my mailbox yesterday afternoon.  When I came home from working a 12 hour day, and of course tending to Little Buddy, this is what I saw.  The very lovely and talented Kathy B, made this vest and sent it all the way here from Chicago, for my Little Buddy.  Isn't it amazing?  Kathy made this a while back and was waiting for the perfect little person to come along and claim it.

I think the perfect little one has arrived!  As soon as she heard about Little Buddy, Kathy sent me a message about a little something she had just for him.  She sent it right before going on her wonderful trip to the Keys.  I am so thankful for your kindness and generosity Kathy.  You are the best!  How did you know that Little Buddy was going to come along and need just the perfect vest for cool Fall evenings?  Thank you from the bottom of my heart, his too!

Little Buddy is keeping me very busy, and a huge influx of special need babies just popped onto my caseload.  I  have been doing baby evaluations and then writing them up like a mad therapist.  I love working with babies, and although it is going to be a bit crazy, and very tiring for me for the next few weeks, I feel I have to take them on.  Reading blogs is not even a consideration until I get all of this work done, so if you have something you do not wish me to miss, you had better email me and let me know to pay you a visit, otherwise I am tuning out for a bit.

I found this knitted squirrel at Home Goods.  Do you have one of those by you?  I fell in love with it and had to buy it.  I was going there for some storage baskets and came out with a squirrel!  This is called a Kenana Knitted Critter, home spun, and hand knitted by rural women from Kenya. 

Inside the tag it tells you a bit more about this project and even has the name of the lovely woman who knit this adorable squirrel up, Milicent.  There is a web site to contact if you are interested in learning more about the project and see more of what is available, Kenana Knitter Critter.

 

 He is pretty adorable isn't he?

Spring is almost here, my azalea's are in bloom, a sure sign that Spring is on the way.  Today  was a short sleeve day, although I am not done with jeans yet. 

I wonder if I will have a few hours to work on my garden soon?  The garden needs a lot of trimming and replanting.  Little Buddy is not all that patient to sit around while I am busy outside.  Nap time is pretty short, so I will have to make a deal with my husband for some time this weekend to get started.  It is usually a several week job for me, with Little Buddy around, it might take a lot longer.  I think I just added more to my already hectic schedule.  How about work, catch up with blogs, then I can work in the garden?  Sounds like a plan to me.  Hope you are all well, I miss you.
