Six months ago I started blogging, and participating in Pink Saturday with Ms Beverly and each of you "Pinkies". I cannot begin to tell you what joy you have each brought to me. I have found a "Happy Heart". Thank you, each of you, for helping me find my way in blog land. What a journey!!!

Ms. Beverly asked us to kick off the year with a project we would like to finish this year, or accomplish this year. Well I am steppin out, and you are about to find out my little heart's desire. It isn't a big WISH, and I just think it would be so very therapeutic for me. Keep my hands busy.

Incase you can't tell, or don't know what this is? It is a knitting bag, to carry all of your items for knitting in. I decorated the photo for a little Pink Saturday gathering ofcourse. I bought this bag at the start of last year, and tried to teach myself to knit. I didn't get very far as you can see below, but I did give it my all. I just want to learn so badly.

Well guess, what I have decided to try it again. I am going to check with Jo-Ann's Fabrics and find out when their classes are going to be held again, and I am going to sign up. I want to make a baby blanket. I am getting a new grand baby in June. My youngest son and our DIL our having a baby. We don't know what it is, but I have my own opinion, and below is the yarn I am going to work with. Can you tell what I think it is?

Yep! I think it's a GIRL. Happy Pink Saturday Pinkies, and please wish me luck. If any of you have a book, or know of a book that would help me learn incase they aren't offering lessons, please let me know. I have until June so I figure I am starting early enough, I hope?

Now to kick off this New Year, and our first Pink Saturday. I am having a giveaway. Take a look at these. Now, I am going to draw (3) names, and the order they are drawn in you will have your pick of the 3 necklaces. I hope you all will enjoy them, as much as I did making them. I decided what "Pinkie" wouldn't love a little bling to start off the new year with.

And if this isn't cute enough: A flamingo, a teapot or a heart, take a look at this side of the necklaces...

A little pink bling for the "Pinkie" at heart. Don't you just love it? Entering this give away is simple. 1. Just be a follower and 2. Just leave a comment as to why you love being a "Pinkie". I will draw the winning names on Friday, January 8th and post the winners in my Pink Post on Saturday, January 9th. Now isn't that just the easiest entry of all? Now if the number of entries grows, and gets to large, then I may be tempted to make a couple of more necklaces.

As always "Pinkies", thank you for stopping by my little piece of heaven, here in the desert, that I so love to call home. Country hugs and so much love for this New Year,
