    Its my Birthday today :)

    Hello fellow yarn and craft lovers. Guess what today is my Birthday!! I finally got the podcast finished and ready to post. Yesterday I took my parents and boys to Mount Cheaha, which is the highest point in Alabama. I am sad to say many leaves were not turned but dead. There was some color and it was a great time.

I started off doing the Marian that can be found on Ravelry. But got…
