Tuesday, June 5, 2007 - I - er - Lulu Got A Beautiful New Afghan
Lulu (as Cabug calls her) got a beautiful gift in the mail the other day from a friend I've never met, but I know has been praying for Lulu and for me for many months. I sure hope I get to meet this blogger-friend one day. She lives on the other side of the US, but maybe we can meet someday.
Here it is up close. It is really beautiful and soft. It even 'looks' soft!
Yes, the lighter color really is yellow. we were going to do it a raspberry with the pastel yellow and eggplant color, but the raspberry yarn she ordered didn't come in. At all! I think the lighter purple she added instead turned out beautiful, don't you?
The colors go so nicely together!
Isaac thought he should get in on the picture-taking, too!
And here is the little lady herself! Isn't she (still) adorable?
I think the colors go very nicely with her!
Thank you Christina. I know for a fact that LucyLillie loves this beautiful afghan, because she was smiling at it as I held her today. It was on the back of the chair, and she was just staring up at it with a big smile!
I love it too!!!
Blessings!!

Just precious! (The afghan and the kiddos!) What a labor of love. I have also been so very blessed by Internet friends that I have never met. Amazing, huh?
Thanks for sharing. :o)

I truly LOVE making afghans for babies and praying for their families. It blessed my heart to be able to do this for you.
My husband and I were just talking about how I am going to need to cut back on how many I ship b/c mailing prices have gone up... and I knew in my heart that I would have made one for YOU even if it cost quadruple what it did b/c your blog and your daughters' blogs have been such a ministry to me and an encouragement over the past year or so!
I truly count you as a FRIEND and sister in the Lord!
Love and Prayers,
Christina

She is beautiful. The afghan is just precious. We call our middle daughter LULU too. Her name is Lindsey but for some reason LuLu seemed to stick.
