In my cleverness I finished a milo vest for the wee girl some weeks before her birthday and forgot to give it to her! I woke in the middle of the night a few days later thinking "where did I put it?"
Found it! and this afternoon had just enough chill in the air.
My mum (who is beyond clever) knitted her a delightful turtle; she has named him Ollie.
He is everso snuggly, I think she loves him. The pattern is from the fabulously fun book Knit and Purl Pets by Claire Garland (I am quite keen on the chamelon; I think my
sister is too).
July 30 is a friend's little girl's fourth birthday. I was her midwife and I remember the day her sweet baby girl chose to make her grand entrance so well; it is magic that birthing business.
Anyway her mum tells me these days she is quite a fairy princess and loves to twirl and preen. I bought tulle (a couple of metres of it) and spun it into a skirt interlaced with satin ribbon and stars.
Every fairy needs a wand right? I gave it a little wave before packaging it to post. When she touches it it will bless her with joyful birthday wishes and have someone plant four little kisses.

Both the vest and Ollie are gorgeous. I knitted a Milo for Kye, I must go and find it right away.
Take care

Oh, Shannon, that skirt and wand are pure magic! And I love the Milo. I've done that before, found the gift a month or so later. I usually wait and give it the next holiday.
