One item of interest that I must mention is the birth of my beautiful Grandgirl Jenna. She was born in July and is absolutely amazingly gorgeous. I cannot say how much I love being a Grammie to now 2 precious itty bitties.
They are simply precious. I know most Grandparents think their Grandchildren are wonderful but you cannot imagine these two.I can just sit and stare at them and never get tired of their facial expressions and now that Riley speaks so well I cannot wait to hear what he will say next.
I am not going to spend a lot of time trying to catch up with all that has gone on since my last post. Not much to say in the way of knitting - once Spring got here in '07 I put down the needles and picked up paint brushes and painted nearly every square inch of the house inside and out. With my darling hubby's help we got it all done and got the baseboards all replaced. It was grueling work but we managed and it was fun I have to admit. I have yet to re-tile the kitchen back splash and I am going to tile my kitchen counters in lieu of replacing them.
I am currently working on a new blankie for Jenna doll - you may remember the big bad baby blanket from Stitch N' Bitch By Debbie Stoller. I made her the original one in yellow using JoJoLand Bloom but failed to give Daddy and Mommy washing instructions like a silly girl. Well , they washed it in the washing machine and threw it in the dryer not knowing any better and it being 59% wool , you got it, it felted. It was a fun knit so I don't mind in the least whipping up another one. I am doing this one in pretty pink JoJoLand for the sweet doll baby. I hope to have it finished soon and will post pics.
Gotta go for now - will try to stay current and keep posting regularly. C'ya - Jules
