Dog Days of Summer

I got the cutest buttons from my DDS pal. I have pinned them to my knitting bag.
Thank you Thank you Thank you.

A Few Finished Objects

Here are a couple of finished projects. The baby afghan was done for a baby who is the first girl in three generations. The other one is a bath tub toy done on the embroidery machine. It is made out of terry cloth and stuffed with tulle that the pieces sort of float.
