Hi Knitters,My daughter came out of piano lessons today with a special gift for me. She wrote me a song for Valentine's Day called, Knitting. She was so proud and excited to tell me about it. Her teacher, Amy, does such a great job getting the kids interested in all sorts of different ideas about music and piano. I certainly don't think my daughter thought she could write a song at this point. My daughters are lucky to have an inspiring teacher like her.
Anyway, since it is a song called Knitting, I thought I would play it as my gift to you for Valentine's Day. It isn't much but here it goes:
Phew! My recital days came back quickly. I always got so darn nervous for those things.
Valentine's Day is a fun holiday, not much pressure just hearts, candies, chocolates, cards and a hug here and there. I pretty much love this little holiday. Plus you can't beat Valentine colors. We made heart cookies for both of my daughter's classes. They did most of the work.
I'd like to say I did all of the dough making but I bought the mini-hearts frozen and ready to bake at a store called U-Bake. This is my new home away from home. For these cut-outs it is a gift from heaven. You couldn't make them any better yourself and since you have to bake them your house smells cookie delicious.
U-Bake also has that glossy frosting that hardens. Perfect. The colors are already mixed for you and they can sit right on your shelf, no refrigeration. How's that for an advertisement? I have used this store's cookies more often than I could count.
Happy Valentine's Day, knitters. I appreciate you.This was from last year's Valentine's Day. What a year it has been...
best, susie
Awww..what a sweet gift from your daughter!
ReplyDeleteThat was so sweet!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNow can we have cookies......
They look so good!
How wonderfully sweet!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet of your daughter to write you this song (how old is she?), and so sweet of you to share it with us.
I don't think I can imagine a sweeter Valentine's day gift than that song! Perfection! And the cookies - I so need to go to u-bake! Happy Heart Day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a special Valentine's Day treat. I'll think of that song today with a smile on my face as I knit.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet, thoughtful gift. :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if U-Bake does mail/online orders...
The composed piece is priceless. Your daughter's teacher is wonderful incorporating lots of creativity into piano lessons.
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to check out the UBake - not sure if they have them in this area.
That little tune is a real treasure! Heartfelt thanks to you and your daughter for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteCool Kid.
ReplyDeleteawww, that is so sweet! thanks for sharing it with us!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of your daughter to write you a song. My daughter (7yrs) has been taking piano lessons for about 3 months now:-)
ReplyDeleteYummy cookies too.
Awwwhhhhhhhh! Thank you for sharing this precious gift from you daughter!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter (8) started taking viola lessons this year and has made up a few pieces so I will have to share this with her in hopes that she will begin writing them down. Have you seen the wonderful Moleskine music notebooks that have the musical staff printed on the pages? Might make a good gift for your young composer!
What a perfect Valentine's Gift from your daughter! She did a great job.
ReplyDelete:-)

Belatedly (I came across a link to your blog from Ravelry) - if you make frosting at home from a mix of confectioners / powdered sugar, a little bit of butter and some milk it will set hard as well. Must easier for transporting that way!
