March Stuff

Babies.  Knitting.  Showers.  Spring.  More knitting.  Family dinners starting up again.
That has been my March.
I have been enjoying getting to know Robin, she is such a little sweetie.  Steve and I got to baby sit her for the first time on Friday night, she slept almost the entire time.  I woke her up to eat and she was so cute. 
Miriah had a baby shower, then 2 weeks later we had one for Robin.  We played a few games I had not heard of before, the spit the pacifier one was hilarious.  See:











This is the crib Steve built for our little granddaughters to sleep in.  It is amazing!





At Kelly's I melted candy bars and put them in diapers.  I should have taken a picture of what it looked like in the diapers, it was quite realistic, although with a good smell. :-) 






Ruby has the most darling expressions.  I took many pictures of this little sweetie.  I just love they eyebrow!




Not too much longer till I get to meet this little girl.  :-)


                                                             Aren't they a cute family???

I made a sweater and hat set for Miriah, have almost finished Kelly's blanket, and have wound all the yarn for a blanket for Miriah, Latecia and Hannah.  So much knitting!  I am really slow at it, and have developed tendonitis, so am even slower.  I decided not to stress out, just keep knitting.  The blankets will be done eventually.  

We started family dinners again last night, it was good to have all the kids over at my table again.  At our next one we will have Erik and Miriah's little girl here.  I can't wait to meet her!!

I'm off to knit.

steve has been at it again

Steve builds me the most amazing things, he truly is an artist with wood.  And he's pretty cute too.
:-)) Anyway, since I am going to be watching Robin, and maybe Erik and Miriah's baby occasionally, he built a crib to have here.  It is so nice!  See:

Starting April 25, Robin will be taking her naps in this lovely bed.  Now to clean up the room it will go in!
I am still knitting away, I made the sweater and hat for Miriah, and am making her newborn size hat.  I am going to finish Robin's blanket and sweater by next weekend, then start Miriah's blanket.  Lots to do!

Cordova and Three Irish Girls!

As many of you know, I am a huge fan of Three Irish Girls yarn.  Well, Sharon is finally coming to Alaska!  She will be coming to a nice little yarn store in Cordova June 24-26th.  I am SO going to be there.  I have been looking forward to meeting her and taking her classes for over a year, and it is finally here.
And I get to see another Alaskan town.  And it is going to be a three day Janet only vacation.  Me, yarn, Sharon, and other lovely knitters.
I am SO EXCITED!  

On the 3IG front, Sharon has shipped all the yarn I need to make 4 more baby blankets, and 3 baby girl sweaters.  And there just might be some yarn in there to make a couple of baby boy sweaters.......
I do love to knit!

I get to go to Kelly's house tomorrow night and will hopefully be snuggling with Robin.  I haven't held her since Tuesday!  I will be making a nice big pot of singapore chicken soup and taking her some.

Oh, and ladies night is starting up again... this Sunday at my house.  I love having ladies come over and just visit.

The countdown is on for my next little granddaugher.... I can't wait to meet Erik and Miriah's little baby!

This was Robin at Church for the first time.  We had a potluck and in the background you can see my sweet Miriah and Latecia.  The next two ladies due.
