Well, I have brushed myself off, picked myself up, and gotten myself back into the social scene. Not to brag, but I had THREE Valentine's Day parties to go to yesterday. First was cupcakes and juice boxes with the first grade class, and we went straight from there to the daycare's bash....two parties there! The two-year old gathering had cupcakes, cake, more cupcakes, juice boxes, mandarin oranges and cheese puffs. Any guesses as to the most popular treat with this group of kids? Mandarin oranges! Then I went to the more sophisticated party in the next room with the older after-school kids where they had hot dogs, cookies, brownies and, you guessed it, juice boxes! Phew! I was wiped out from all the social activity! Since I had made the brownies, and therefore had eaten some before we even made it to the parties, I only had cheese puffs and a juice box. I have got to remember to buy cheese puffs next time I'm at the store! I had forgotten all about that food group!
After all this partying, I was too wiped out to enjoy a Netflix movie with my hubby, so another year goes by with an uneventful Valentine's Day for the grown-ups. I did get Gerbera daisies and a beautiful card, so I'm good. : )
As for amigurumi, I made a heart from a free pattern offered at http://owlishly.typepad.com/owlishly/2009/02/corazoncitos-free-amigurumi-heart-pattern-in-3-sizes.html. I made the larger size, it came out very nice, and my first grader gave it to his teacher as a little gift. And then I realized I never took a picture! So last night I made the middle size and took a picture today, again on the phone camera. It doesn't look as nice as the larger one, and you can see too much stuffing between the holes, but it was a new technique to learn in order to make it so I'm happy.
