Each April my friend April spends her birthday month making things to give away. How wonderful is that? I was surprised with this beautiful bag in my mailbox the other day.
I do love it because it is gorgeous Amy Butler fabric, but I love it most because it is from April. I miss her so. It almost makes me cry as I write this. She was my knitting, learning to spin yarn, koolaid dyeing, craft show stocking, homeschooling, bike riding, long walks partner. I haven’t found another quite like her yet.
So I knew just what to do with the sweet gift for HER birthday–
I filled it with knitting. I’ve got a cowl (neck thing), a pilot cap for a fresh new nephew, a t-shirtish sweater for me, and a jacket for Eva all in the works.
What a wonderful friend! Love the bag and I love all the yarn you stuffed inside
Jess, you are so sweet. I too have never found another friendship like ours. When I found out you were a winner in my Birthday Give Away I had secret hopes my crochet stone would end up going your way. I suspected (I wrapped and packaged everything prior to picking names) you had won a bag and I’m glad you like it.
Just in case I forget (I’m sure I will) Happy Birthday to you.
April
Love the bag, special friendships are eternal, love you.
