Do you remember my friend, Ms. Donna, the Attendance Lady? She’s the wonderful gal I worked with last Spring when I was blessed to sit at the Attendance desk for two months.
Well, today is Ms. Donna’s birthday.
I learned of it quite by accident. Well, it was probably a God-thing.
Substitute teachers receive a daily newsletter when we pick up our attendance forms each morning. The newsletters are great for informing us of school functions, suspended students, and other important information.
The newsletters also list monthly staff birthdays.
As I glanced at the list, I noticed Ms. Donna’s name, and I said to myself, “AuburnChick, you know how much you adore Ms. Donna. Now, you don’t have much money. What can you do to show her that you care for her?”
Naturally, I thought of knitting, but because I didn’t have much time, I decided to make her a couple of spa cloths.
I showed you a picture of them as they were blocking.
Because we had cooler weather for a few days, the cloths took longer than usual to dry. However, yesterday they were finally done!
The pattern is called Turn Back Time Spa Cloth, and it is from the January 2008 Creative Knitting issue.
I used Lily ‘n Cream in Yellow (above) and Cornflower (below…and my all-time favorite color in the crayon box)…
I ran to my second pantry and pulled out an orange vanilla soy candle. I thought it added a little something to the gift…
I wrapped things up…
And put everything into a pretty little bag I found with my wrapping paper…
I will be running by the school in a bit to give her the gift. I can’t wait! She’s such a special lady…the way she cares for the students and everyone she works with…that she deserves to be pampered.
Happy Birthday, Ms. Donna. I love you!
