A Baby Is Born

This little bundle of joy came June 13th. Just perfect.
Her little outfit was knitted by me during testing at school. The pattern was so easy to read and knitted quickly. I highly recommend her.

Just another cute outfit for her

I had to step back and do some work for a few other little ones. This Mickey ensemble was created by me for a "Smash Cake" photo shoot.  Never heard of one before. Guess I will know all about it next year!!!

Life is good. Babies are wonderful gifts from God. To let us all appericate life a little more.
I loved making her baptism gown. Momma picked it and Gammy made it. The headbands are extremely fun to make.
Just loved the whole outfit!!! It was a beautiful day.
 Its a beautiful time in our lives. It makes up for all the sadness.

Got to start knitting this little kitty some warm winter sweaters. I have several picked out and want to start them. So no more bloggin, I NEED TO KNIT!!!!

Baby Fever

Its been awhile since I posted. A long while.  Many things have happened. Life and God have been good to our little family since our dark days of cancer. Our beautiful daughter is going to be a momma.  I am amazed that we are here. How did 26 years go by so fast. I tell my students I was 10 when I had her. lol. They look at me confused.  

When we found out I was already planning quilts in my head. Oh the dreams, knitted sweaters, quilts, shopping for everything, it was so exciting. My daughter told me nicely, Mom slow down, we need to find out what we are having first. So I waited.......

They had a reveal party and I got to knit not one but two outfits for them to open!!!! The tech put a green bow on the right wrapped box and the rest is history.... YEP ITS A GIRL!!!

 There are many knitted things to add. But that's another post.              

I also have 3 quilts done for them. Gotta get some pictures up.  Speaking of quilts.....

The quilt from hell...Turned out to be...... very pretty. I was very happy with the results. It was one of the most challenging quilts I have ever done. The amount of work and time in this quilt is unbelievable. At auction I was told by my local quilt shop would fetch in the $2,500 plus range. SO my nephew and new wife made out pretty good!!! Thats what love is! WORK HARD, complain and reward!

I think they were happy with it. I haven't heard. 

I even stitched the young couples name in the top of the quilt. Now that's love!

Now some UFO's.... A table topper for winter....

And finally a paper piece that has needed finished for at least 10 years!! So happy thats done!

For now, I need to get back to a baby blanket. It is boring!!! But it will be the babies, Home from the hospital blanket.  It's knitted in the prettiest shades of peachy melon and green. That too will be up next post.

Till then, peace out my knitting and sewing peeps.... this girl NEEDS TO KNIT!
