Finally back to sewing

Here is me in the studio yesterday on my birthday sewing.  Working on a baby quilt for the first grandbaby that is soon to be here.  I have also been told that a second grandbaby is now in the making as well.  Our youngest got married this last summer and is now expecting as well.  WOW!  Two grandbabies so soon. 
I feel blessed of course, but also a little overwhelmed by it all.  All three of my children, who are in their 20s now, have kept me on my toes this last summer. 

My hubby got me a camera tripod for my birthday, and I just tried it out for the first time with my remote with the camera.  I am impressed and this picture inspired me to blog about it (or show it off?).  I wonder how many "action" shots I will be taking with me it in now.  I usually do not like myself in pictures, I can be too critical of my flaws.  Oh the joys of turning 43, huh? 

Ok, back to crafting, I have taken this week off from work for a vacation, to stay home and craft and prepare for the baby shower that is to take place in our backyard this weekend.  I am keeping my fingers crossed for good weather as my home is small and it would be way too crowded for all those people to be stuffed in my house.  We are expecting approximately 40 people this weekend, whew!

Yay! A knitted hat for this winter

Made last weekend after a trip to the Yarn Barn in Lawrence to refresh the stash for winter.

Got the pattern from here, super easy and super fast, just what I needed last weekend.

Is it fall yet?

Just discovered that I can get back on here and blog while on my work breaks, YAY!  I might actually return to blogging now.  I can not seem to find the creative juice to do it when I get home in the evenings.

Look for more later next week....
