I Have a Flower!!! Well...sort of

One of my flower seeds has sprouted!  I've needed a lot of patience with these impatiens!!!

It's a pot full of seeds, but this is the brave one who has tried to grow!  I hope others will soon follow!

Here's an update on my basil.  None of the pictures were excellent.  This is the best one I have.  Does anyone have tips for taking pictures of crafts and plants?  I don't have very good lighting in my apartment.  Are there any tricks to making it better?

My fiance's brother and sister-in-law are having a "Meet the Baby Day" instead of a Baby Shower, and it's this upcoming Sunday!  The baby blanket needs to be done one week from today.  I have six pattern repeats to finish, plus the border.  Here's the current blanket, with a DVD case on top for perspective. 

I need to work hard to finish this!  I was too lazy last week and fell behind a bit.  I want this blanket done ON TIME!!!
