O.K. I know it's been two weeks since my b-day but my theory is that since my b-day is the first day of the month, then the whole month is my b-day month. I must give a shout out to all of you who called and wished me a happy b-day. I am really bad at getting back to people and saying thank you so hereit is... THANK YOU!! You made my day. Truley, I think this was one of the best birthdays I could ever have. I went to school and a dear friend and collegue bought me lunch. Matt sent me flowers and my kids at school sang 'Happy Birthday' to me. Then after school Matt and I went to the temple and then Ottavio's for dinner. Yum! I had a great day. (I will post pictures of my flowers later. I have to get them off of my phone.)

Well, not only is it my b-day month, but it is also Matt's and my neice Teinei's. Teinei's is on the 11th. Ah! I can't believe that she is allready 15. I feel so old. I remember coming up here to Utah, from Hawaii, to see this cute little girl. (That was another memorable birthday, I turned 12, got to enter Young Womens AND I got a neice to boot! And I got to miss school to come see her.) As you know I love to knit. I don't really have a TON of time to do it, but I have fun. I am always looking at patterns I can do. However here's my thing, I don't really like making things for myself. I love to picture who could benefit from this fun activity that I do. Mostly I look for patterns for my kids and my DH or my friends, but I needed a present for Teinei this time. Intitially I wanted to make Mikado Ribbon Fingerless Gloves. for her. However, I am a slacker and just couldn't get around to it. Well then I decided to make Twitterpated for her.






I think it is really cute. Teinei had told me earlier that she liked bright colors, mostly greens and blues. Well I didn't end up using greens and blues on the outside, but I did on the inside. I made this primarily at work. My students were pretty impressed. And a couple of the girls in my class liked it so much that they asked me to teach them how to make it. As you can see I didn't buy a handle, I knitted it. And like my BFF Kara did for her Twitterpated, I added I cords to make it close better. I think it turned out pretty cool. If Teinei ends up not wanting it I might claim it for myself. Well, now I must say that I am racking my brain over and over again as to how to modify it and make twitterpated more mine. I have all of these different variations that I want to make and give to other people as gifts.

Oh! P.S. Here are are pictures of Ka'iwa's b-day cake. I think it turned out pretty good.
