She Has Arrived!!!

Wow! It has been such a busy couple of days! My very first grandchild was born on Friday, April 1 at 10:14 p.m. after a very long day of labor for her poor mom and dad. Here is a beautiful picture of her and her mama right after birth.

She is beautiful! I am so proud of my son, he is being such a good dad taking such good care of his new baby girl and her mom!

Needless to say not any stitching has happened in the last two days. LOL I have been just a little preoccupied!

Thanks for all of the kind comments on the baby blanket in my last post. I really appreciated your compliments!

A Finish!

I finished this blanket yesterday and I am so pleased with how it turned out! Look how pretty that edging is!

Let me tell you that edging was so easy to stitch after I finally deciphered the instructions. Those instructions were so confusing, it took several tries before I got it right but things zipped right along after that.

Sure hope that the mother-to-be loves this blanket!

On another note, still no grandbaby...she is sure taking her time and making us all so impatient to meet her! I jump everytime the phone rings these days. Guess I will just have to wait though and get some stitching in to settle my nerves.

Blessings and Happy Stitching!

Busy Weekend!

It was such a beautiful and busy weekend! Attended a fun baby shower for my daughter-in-law! It was so nice to be around so many friends and family. So many nice gifts for baby!

Came home and shared 'burgers and 'dogs with my family and some of their friends. It was fun listening to the conversation and joking around. I really miss having a housefull of young people around.

So good to see my kids all together at home again! Wish we could be together more often. It's hard to do with them living in different parts of the state.

Nothing much to report on the stitching front. I am working on a baby blanket for one of my oldest son's friends. It is a delicate crocheted blanket in blue. This project is taking precedence right now. That baby is not going to wait for me to finish his blanket before deciding to arrive!
I will try to post a picture when I get further along on it, hopefully by the end of the week.
