Tuesday tidbits...

1. We did not know whether Landon was going to be a boy or girl so it was a wonderful surprise to have a grandson.

2. Because of tidbit #1, in the past month I have sewn 3 boy receiving blankets, one boy minkie blanket and 8 boy burp cloths as well as 3 girl receiving blankets & 8 girl burp clothes. I brought them all up north with me for the birth and left all the boy themed items with Landon and gave all the girl themed things to N & T for baby girl foxie arriving in a few months. In the coming week, I will be sewing all the decor for Landon's new nursery with the colors of navy and lime.

3. Baby Boy S is due to arrive any day so I finished up his quilt today and also sewed 3 receiving blankets and 4 more burp cloths to add to the ones I previously gave them.

4. The temperatures have been wonderfully warm the last few days even reaching 50 degrees yesterday. While out and about I saw several people not wearing coats…only in MN is 50 degrees a Heat Wave!

5. I have a serious case of spring fever with the daylight lasting into the evening and the warmer temps.

week in review...

There haven't been any more hawk sightings this week but Jeff & I spotted a bald eagle on the way to town yesterday. He was flying low over the highway so I was wishing I had a camera with. We've had another really cold week so the feeders have been extra busy with blue jays, woodpeckers, chickadees, sparrows and starlings. The juncos keep busy on the ground eating up all the spilled seeds.
One morning the sun dogs were out and a brilliant rainbow color. I managed a photo but the rainbow effect just didn't photograph as beautiful as it looked in person.

I spent a few afternoons at the sewing machine working on projects for the new baby coming in February but also did an easy-peasy skirt project for the little girls.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sewing...

Thank you to all who commented on the Scripture Sunday post. For those that said it was Bryce Canyon, Utah you are correct. One of the most beautiful places we have visited, in fact, if you have not visited the numerous National Parks and State Parks in Utah you are missing out. It is definitely on one of our places to visit again preferably with the cycles the next time.

The title of this post is sewing because that's what I have been doing a lot of lately. My favorite little girls each got a new flannel ruffle skirt and a snowman shirt made from chiffon rosettes and vinyl.

Bailey was here on Wednesday while her mommy and daddy were at the doctors for her future sibling's ultrasound. She was happy to model her outfit for Grandma!

I will see Brooklyn this weekend and hopefully get her to model for me. In the meantime, her mommy texted me a photo of Brooklyn's doll in her matching outfit getting read a bedtime story by Brooklyn.

I mentioned Bailey was here for the day while mommy and daddy were at an ultrasound appt and Bailey is very excited to announce her news! She called all her friends and wore this shirt the next day so everyone would know she's getting a baby sister around Memorial Day!

Brooklyn and the rest of us have to wait until her sibling is born in approximately 7 weeks to find out boy or girl. I am beyond CURIOUS to find out if we'll have a 4th granddaughter or a grandson. Such exciting months ahead for us!
