Erin, You are such a blessing, to our family. If only Martha Stewart could be mentored by YOU. Since I am aware of you deep, deep affection for the domestic ICON, I plan to forward your Pink Pepper Blog directly to her. I can just see it now, lights, magazine offers,M.S. LIVING {of course} cameras, TV time, to which you will promptly reply “are you kidding , no way”. This is your additional gift, that of quietly setting about to release the creativity God has blessed you with in each day and wondering WHY? all the fuss. This is your normal routine on many days. Some of us are so maxed out that we do not remain quiet enough to step out of the “market place” to be who we were created to be. I can never forget the gentle way with which you pulled together a five star meal for me, at your home on Mother’s Day. I was so filled with awe that it brought tears to my eyes. This sweater project reminds me of the same WOW moment I experienced at your amazing Mother’s Day table. I could not believe my eyes. Is this really happening to me? Is this woman who has been given to my son for real? Yes, Erin, you are for real, kind of like the Velveteen Rabbit “for real”, jumping, leaping with legs and joy, blessing all that you touch. Grateful, I am, not just for snowy days but for YOU and your example to the rest of us. Carry on my dear. We can’t wait till tomorrow. Lovingly submitted.

Good Heavens! I just told Michael, “Some people are so crafty it just makes you sick!” In a nice green-with-envy-but-so-happy-SOME-People-are-creative-sort of way. Very impressive! :-)

That is so cute! See the little baby face below your post? He told me he wants one of those sweaters.

Very cute! Meghan and I just chopped three cashmere sweaters to bits crafting bunnies. Maybe we should have made tiny sweaters first…

Ok, so I’m feeling like I’m wasting my time knitting…. oh well, I will persevere one stitch at a time.
Very clever though!

Super cute! I want to see pictures of the yellow one too. Also, wish I were more crafty…

Thank you so much! I had fun doing it. And I feel kind of inspired all of a sudden to take on some other projects. Must be the “nesting” thing….
