Novice Knitter

My daughter wanted some knitting supplies for her eighth birthday, and I gladly obliged. Here's what she's completed after two evenings:

Isn't that just too cute? We're working through some tension problems (knitting too tight) but she's hanging in there without any frustrations so far. That's my punkinny!

Also for her birthday, I prepared what may be my last batch of Mini Happy Meals:

That's a juice box, some french fries (shoe string potatoes), and a couple of hamburgers (an oreo half in between two Nilla Wafers, with red and yellow frosting for ketchup and mustard and green-dyed coconut for lettuce.) I've been making these for class birthday treats for about a billion years now, and I'm ready to retire. They are awfully darn cute, aren't they?

The happy meals are SO CUTE! I am going to remember that for when my daughter is old enough for those class birthday treats!
