Purple, blue and....

fuchsia!

Perfect colors for a new make; a baby blanket for grandchild number 2. Hip hip horray! (shouted while jumping up and down)

These colors are the choice of my bohemian, ecclectic, chic daughter number three.  Her wee one will snuggle in Cascade's ultra pima cotton.  Thinking, granny squares have a bohemian feel right?

p.s. if this little one is not a girl I will have to start another blanket :)

And... I soooo adore hearing from you dear blog friends!

So I received a perplexing e-mail yesterday.  Pic nik, the photo editing site, that I use is closing in April.  The e-mail directed future former users to go to google + for editing.   Hmmm.... so  I did, and it turned out to be picasa.  I downloaded it and began to fiddle.  Voila!  Here is the result of my experimentation with a new editing program.  Little bits of Hopelessly Romantic Art Studio's year of 2011
