It's finished!! My first BSJ

I had an online friend challenge me to knit a BSJ (Baby Surprise Jacket) from Knitting Workshop by Elizabeth Zimmerman. So I found some stash yarn and started. I headed the instruction to not try to figure it out and just knit. I should have taken a picture of the object that I knitted before I sewed up the 2 seams. It sort of reminds you of a rectangle with a cinched waist. I really enjoyed knitting this and here's the finished object!! Except for buttons. We will find some tomorrow.The only problem is that you don't see the color in the photo. There is burgundy and a hint of pink in the yarn itself. It just shows up grey in the picture. No matter how I tried. Oh well...Rebekah likes it!!

We finally had warm enough weather to make a snow man that Rebekah wanted to do all winter. It had been so cold that the snow wouldn't pack. Chris came for the weekend and we had such fun!!
