2019, a year of new beginnings!

It seemed as though this year went slow, but now I look back and it really did go by fast!
Lots of changes took place in our lives this year. All good ones.
We uprooted our little family and moved to the wonderful state of TN!
We found the perfect little home on five acres of land. Plenty of room to roam, and to raise more chickens!
It's been a real treat decorating, and making this home ours. My dear husband has been doing construction adding onto our home too. He always works so hard, and is such a perfectionist in all he does.

Our decision came pretty easily when we found out we were going to have another grandchild! We need to be closer to them, so we can love on them even more.

Andrew Thomas was born in October, and he is the sweetest little guy. We are so in love with our grandsons!

Of course, being Grammy, I had to make him some crochet blankets and a quilt too. The theme for his room is "Guess how much I love you"
Just love those bunnies!

Here are some of the projects I made for him:

One of the blankets was a crochet waffle weave. Something new I taught myself!

Some of the blankets I made for our new Grandson:

The special quilt I made for Andrew Thomas:

The cross stitched baby sampler for him (so sweet!), I found the pattern in a UK magazine, Cross Stitcher issue #250 March 2012 :

I've stitched something for myself, Father Christmas, by Willow Hill Samplings. Such a darling design!

I've also made some Scandinavian star ornaments for all the family:

My brother gifted me with two amazing vintage sewing boxes!

Our sweet Red Heeler Ginger, as well as Andy the bird,

were so patient through all the festivities!

I have plans for this upcoming year. I've ordered Attic 24's DK yarn pack from the UK. Cannot wait to get started on my sweet pea blankie!

Just look at these colors!!

Wishing you all a happy and healthy New year, filled with all of God's blessings!
