Hello Dear Friends,
Are you having spring weather or winter weather -- or if you live in Illinois like I do, you're having both! One day it is sunny and warm and the next it is windy and cold. Even with our typical midwest weather swings, the spring flowers are popping up and birds have migrated back to our area.
Our youngest daughter has transferred from an Army base in Tennessee to one in Colorado. Her and her fiance have purchased property with almost eight acres, barn and outbuildings.
A week after they moved in, they had a snow storm. My daughter said they didn't think they would get much snow. She was wrong! We had been hearing on the news that Colorado was going to get more snow than they have had in several years and that it would be measured in feet, not inches.
My daughter sent this picture. They had 22 inches of snow, lost power for two days and, since they didn't think it would get so bad, they hadn't gone grocery shopping, so they didn't have much food. She says she now understands why everyone goes shopping before a snow storm, lol. A week later the snow was all gone.
My daughter has always loved animals and we have a new grand-dogger!
Meet Lulu, a four-month-old Lab mix puppy.
Lulu looks very much like Callie, our daughter's older dog.
If you follow me on social media, you already know that I casually mentioned to Hubby that I wanted a working Singer Featherweight sewing machine. A couple days later, he found one on marketplace that was a reasonable price and close to home.
This Featherweight was manufactured in October 1953. She needed some maintenance and cleaning, which has just been completed and I'm excited to start using her.
I've been busy stitching, crocheting and making cards. In February, my nephew and his fiance welcomed a little girl to their family. I crocheted a blanket that has become their favorite.
I made another baby blanket for my new grandson expected in April.
I had help choosing the animals for this blanket from the soon-to-be big brother. Of course, he decided he needed a new blanket too.
So I crocheted another blanket for big brother-to-be.
This past Tuesday, we welcomed our new grandson to the world!
My grandson is so in love with his baby brother! Baby Brother weighed 6 lbs 12 oz and 19.5 inches long. Both mom and baby are doing well.
I pray that you and your families are all doing well.
Until next time,
Happy Stitchin'
What a beautiful featherweight your husband found for you, Pam! Enjoy using her! Lulu is adorable and the picture of Callie in the snow is amazing. Congratulations to the new additions to the family. They are precious; the picture of big brother feeding little brother. Oh my, be still my heart! Your crochet blankets are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLovely post , love the blankets you made . Weather is crazy allover at the moment.
ReplyDeleteOh, what blessed news, Pam! I'm sure you're enjoying every second with your new grandson. It looks like big brother has adapted very well, too. Beautiful blankets and sewing machine. I have my grandmother's 1929 vintage and it's a beauty. I need to get the cord replaced and have it oiled, etc., though, and am not sure where to take it. Any advice? Hope your daughter is adjusting to that up and down Colorado weather. We went to a family wedding in Estes Park, CO in 2019 and I was ready to pick up and move--just beautiful. Enjoy your day! ♥
ReplyDeleteYes, our weather is just like yours. I love all the beautiful gifts you made your family. What sweet pictures. It seems your daughter has finally settled down now.
