Ya'll, I was looking CRAZY last night.
I finished this baby blanket last night at 12:22 a.m.:
It is hard to tell, but it is green and white.
I threw that sucka into the washing machine, thinking "I'ma close my eyes for a minute, and I will listen out for the wash to finish."
Next thing I know, it was 7:00 in the morning. LOL!! That's okay though. I threw it in the dryer for a bit, stuffed it in the gift bag and headed to work (real late at 10:00 a.m.)
I made this one for the upcoming baby of one of the Lieutenant Commanders ("Tonya") that work on my floor (an arm of the military works here with us).
I saw her walking down the hall one day back in May without her uniform on. And I snapped on her.
(I have appointed myself the Punisher of all the military on my floor. If I see anything wrong with their uniforms, I go off on them, lol.)
She whispered "I'm waiting on my maternity military uniform, LadyLee."
It took a moment to register, as there was a long *blank stare* moment between the two of us. I grabbed her hand and led her over to my desk, and let her pick out the blanket she wanted, since I had photos of a few that I was posting.
Fast forward to last week. Now, I was told by Tonya that the baby shower was on September 26th. The organizers were standing in my cubicle area, and they told me September 22nd. I was NOT happy about that. My fellow Doc, "Dr. Hazel Eyes", caught the brunt of my wrath.
*Lee jumps from chair and grabs "Dr. Hazel Eyes*
"Shawty, hold on, hold, hold up now!! Ya'll said the shower was on the 26th."
"LadyLee, no I didn't."
"Tonya said the 26th," I yelled.
"Well it's on the 22nd."
"Change it!"
"No, LadyLee. You're just going to have to speed it up a bit."
I tried to stare "Dr. Hazel Eyes" down. I even started whining REAL hard. It did NOT work. They wouldn't change the shower date. HUMPH.
But I am a MAVERICK.
I got it DONE!
They didn't want to know the sex of the baby (well, we know, but her hubby doesn't know, lol), so it had to be something neutral.
But I tell you: I am getting TOO old to be burning the midnight oil on this type of stuff. TOO OLD.
I must go take a time management class somewhere. Really!!!
~Hard sigh~
Lietennant Commander "Tonya": I stand tall, click my heels, and salute you!
Congrats in advance on the arrival of the little one:)

Another beautiful blanket, Lee.
ReplyDeleteNothing like a little pressure.
ReplyDelete@That Southern Black Gal...
ReplyDeleteThank you, honey chile... and I hear you loud and clear, even over all that loud Lil' Wayne music. LOL!
@Terry in his Cheap seats...
*Lee snatches Terry's VERY expensive cigar from his mouth, throws it to the ground, and stomps it out. She feels bad about this, and sheepishly offers him a box of Black and Milds she picked up at the local Exxon gas station*
LOL!
I don't like pressure! Takes all the fun and relaxation out of it!
You never cease to amaze me! What a very kind thing to do!
ReplyDeleteThe blanket is beautiful!
All these lucky babies and pregnant ladies around you Ladylee. Watch out! We already know you're good with babies. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHmmmm
@Lovebabz...
ReplyDeleteWhat's up, Babz?!!! Thank you!
@Ms. Blackliterature.com...
I love little babies... Lawd knows I do.
But...
STOP PLAYING, GAL!
If a little one "happened" upon the scene over in the House of LadyLee, ya'll would have to make a pilgrimidge to the ATL to coax me out from the deep recesses of my crawl space and keep me hurting myself!!
LOL!!
But for now, I hope there are no more babies popping up on the scene. I need a break from the blankies until at least the end of the year.
love the blanket! you need to go ahead and start your own biz, lee. i can see it now...lee's books and blankets! you could write books AND knit blankets!
ReplyDeleteHey Miss Lee, Beautiful blanket!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to go to the National Book Club Conference in the ATL next July. You ever go? Trying to get the director to extend an invite to me.

I'll let you know if I get there!!
Ah yes...another job well done! :-)
ReplyDelete@ The Iniquitous One, ATLien Nikki...
ReplyDeleteOkay, let's see.
120-130 hours for an adult blanket.
Baby blankets: (this one) took about 37 hours. My other bootleg baby ones that don't require whipstitching squares together take about 30 hours.
Man, no bizness in that. I wouldn't get any sleep. A lot of stuff I like to do is TERRIBLY time consuming. So it'll piss me off if I have to do TOO much on demand. That would drive me bananas, and I would start to HATE it.
Let's just say that uh, I like to crochet out of love. For love's sake, you know?? LOL!!
But I DO have an idea, and you're my "go-to" resource idea chick as of late. I will hit you up on IM about it:) We'll discuss!
that is soooooo pretty. I wish I could make them.
ReplyDelete@Ms. Behaving... Thanks hon!
ReplyDelete@That Botanical Chick Carleen...
Oh, so YOU are going to actually come to GEORGIA!? Yeah, i've been to the NBCC, back in 2005. But you know I don't show up for nothing AND dish our 250 bucks for just anyone. Only Miss Celie gets that priviledge!
But, ya know... IF you come through here, let me start rolling pennies because I AM GOING!!!
Really though.
I know the list is coming out soon. Hope you are on it!!
@The Bball Mama...
Come on, girl! You gonna have some grandkids coming through that camp in a good 5 to 10 years or so... Get ta learning!!!
*Lee ducking the basketball flying HARD at her head*
LOL! But you should learn. It is VERY therapeutic. Very.
Well - you finished it and it's nice. I mean, I would have gone to babies r us or something...but yea, great job - lol.
ReplyDelete@Master Chef Darius...
ReplyDeleteDarius... can I just say that I'm in love with you? DEEP in LOVE with YOU?
Meaning... I prepared the dish last night, one you have on your cooking blog- the Tequila lime chicken pasta fettucini...
goodness. gracious. alive.
The, uh, next post is dedicated to you. Been working on it.
**Lee swooning back and forth like some starstruck groupie...**
Look out for that sometime tomorrow, or tonight, even.
And uh, I could've gone to Baby's R Us... but that's on the other side of town, some 20 miles away. You know how high gas is AND we have a gas shortage in the ATL. So I will sit my a$$ down and make a blanket. LOL!!
That is a nice piece of work. I'm ready for my lessons...I kid you not --I'm going to email you with dates and times --I'm feelin' giddy again :)
ReplyDelete@ The Cyncere sister...
ReplyDeleteCome on, girl. Whenever. I'm available! We live no more than about 20 minutes from each other. Come on, gal!! I DARE YA!! LOL!
Awww.. my mom knits.. it looks so cozy.. I don't imagine you make those for grown people huh?
ReplyDeleteGo B.

Berita terbaru dan terkini dari agen bola City Holiday - Kemenangan atas Crystal Palace mengembalikan City ke posisi menguntungkan dalam persaingan juara Liga Inggris.
agen bola City Holiday Terpercaya - Namun Pellegrini tak melihatnya sebagai sebuah faktor yang membuat timnya favorit. Manajer asal Chile itu menilai masing-masing punya keuntungan tersendiri.
"Saya ulangi, di sepakbola tidak ada yang namanya favorit," kata Pellegrini di Sky Sports.
"Liverpool punya tiga poin lebih banyak daripada kami dan kami punya satu laga di tangan yang harus dimenangi, jadi saya pikir tidak ada satupun yang favorit," lanjutnya.
"Sekarang semuanya tergantung pada apa yang bisa kami lakukan. Kami kehilangan kesempatan itu ketika kami kalah melawan Liverpool," tandas eks pelatih Malaga ini.
Manchester City kini memegang kendali dalam persaingan titel Premier League.
