For A Special Little Someone


A very SPECIAL little someone will be making an appearance this spring.
So there is a flurry of yellow, green and aqua sewing and crocheting
going on around here.
(All gender neutral colors, as we won't know 'til birth day.)

So excited to be joining the Grandma Club!
Smiling from ear to ear!

    Oh what fun! You have no idea the amount of fun you will have - it will be beyond what you can even imagine.

    I love the colors - and can't wait to find out - boy or girl. Enjoy every little minute.

    Gayle, Congratulations! I am currently knitting my very first baby blanket (in yellow) for my first grandchild due this spring as well! We'll both be in the Grandma Club...whoo hoo! We don't know the gender either, so I've been using a lot of yellow in my crafting lately. :-)

    Thanks so much for visiting me recently and leaving a comment. I've been a bit tired and overwhelmed by life recently but I'm hoping to get back into blogging again soon:)
    This is such lovely news - I'm sure you can't wait!!

    That's exciting news Gayle, congrats and I have to say it's nice that bubs' gender will be a surprise as well. Like knowing what's in the pressie before you unwrap it....:(
    Lovely colours you've chosen and I thought I had commented on the previous post but realised I hadn't.!! Another great blanket crocheted and fab colours used. There's no stopping you now.
    Are you going to be called Grandma as well?........x

      I was very happy when they said they were going to wait to find out if it was a boy or girl. We didn't want to know when we had our kids, either. I wanted that to be the big surprise at the birth. I haven't decided what to be called yet. Do you have any suggestions?

    You are about to have the ride of your life! Congratulations!

    Crocheting, Wow! It's almost a lost art. My granny and mama did it. My hands are so uncoordinated. I only have the gift of gab!

    Thanks for finding me!

    You think you are grinning now, just wait till you have that little person in your arms. We have 2 grandsons one 6 and one almost 3 and my face has not stopped aching yet with all the grinning we still do. Enjoy!! It really is a fabulous experience And I truly feel sorry for anyone who doesn't get the chance to experience it. And of course it looks like he/she will be brilliantly 'spoiled' by grandma too!

      Saving the "it's a girl/boy" announcement for birth seems to be rare these days. But very sweet, I think.
