I finished my first prayer shawl a little while ago. I had a lot of Suri Dream left over so I made one for my MIL. She used to crochet a lot but recently had a stroke and will never be able to again. I hope this will keep her warm and wrap her in love!

i love celebrating my birthday. I'm always amazed at people who don't like to celebrate. It's a wonderful thing to be alive!!

Thanks for your help!
