Last month my other beautiful daughter married the sweetest man and this month we find out that we will be new grandparents in September!

How about that?!? Two sweet little ones to love!

Mr. and Mrs. Ely


Baby Ely.
Well actually the yolk sac and fetal cord. LoL The baby is in there somewhere. More pictures later! Can't wait to find out what it is so i can start making it little things too! Who knows maybe I'll have learned how to knit  by then!

Aubri's Coat

I forgot to tell you about Aubri's first winter coat!

Its pink and soft and totally finished! Started it so she could wear it to one of our assemblies. Finished it just in time!

It's a McCalls 5739 and I used a pink cord type fabric for the outside and pink fleece for the inside.
Haven't sewn in quite a while so I had to really think about a couple of the steps, but before long it was all rushing back to me.

Here is some pictures of the coat, Aubri, her Mommy and Daddy. such a cute little family!















Well the hooks and needles are calling to me and so in order to keep from logging a bunch of time in a project that I really wont wear, I decided to make something for Aubri.

With my navy yarn from Caron simply soft (I just love this yarn) I went to designing a sundress for her with a crocheted top and a knitted bottom. My way of learning knitting without a huge investment.

Maybe the investment is why I haven't progressed.....

Anyways... as I started I got excited about a little sweater to cover the sundress, seeing we still have chilly mornings and evenings down here in Texas. It is January after all.

So after drawing it out, planning it, I started it last night.

Well back to crocheting!!
