Forum baby!
« on: August 07, 2015, 01:41:20 PM »
Hi everyone

I have been so so out of the Forum loop lately, but I know you'll forgive me because I've been busy working on one big creation: our baby girl, Anise. She was born on 24 July 2015, and today has been my very first day back at the nibs since she was born. Boy, does it feel good! Life, indeed, does not end... just as they assured me :)

So, I wanted to share my announcement calligraphy -- a bit of a modern approach (I also took up knitting in my final months of pregnancy...hence the blanket in the pic), and a little photo of our girl.

Hope everyone is well!
Kate

Congratulations!

You do know you've a grace period of 3 months where you are allowed, by law, to strike with malice aforethought anyone who asks, "So, when are you going to have another?"

Good luck!

Congratulations Kate, and I adore her name and the announcement too! And you *just* took up knitting?! You're crazy good!! I've been a knitter for 10+ years.
