A New Year

The New Year is just a few days away. Life has been good. Happy healthy grandkids,  new ones on the way, some life chsnges, shop changes and above all more joy.

We get so busy with everyday living we forget to slow down and enjoy ourselves.  Sit quietly and enjoy a day, take time with loved ones, find your passion, volunteer your time. All wothin our means no matter how rich or poor we are.

As for the shop, I will add a few new items , delete a few and enjoy my time crocheting.

Time Flys

Life gets busy and I seem to neglect this blog. The babies we had last year are all walking and I cannot wait to make some new fun hats for this winter season.

Each one is so very different.  So with their varied personalities, I am trying to make some new hats  to suit each of them. Keep watching to see just what I come up with and I will let you know if they were a big hit with the kiddos and Mommies.

It is almost time

Time to think of fun, cute economical Halloween costumes.  Remember when, (now this is going to give my age away) you just wore an old shirt and dirtie your face and went as a hobo. Put om a dress of Moms, some high heels and a hat. Not so much anymore. #HALLOWEEN is big business, and kids being kids want to be this year's in character or idol. The costumes available are not always well fitting or comfy. Why not try a costume alternative tht keeps on giving. Let me give you a few examples

what about an adorable Boston Terrier pup. Match up one of out hats with a set of black sweats, or gor the very little ones a fun diaper cover with a stubby little tail. By the way we can make a tail to be attached to the sweats for the bigger kids or even you.

 How about some grey sets and this fun rhino hat, the little ones also Ave the diaper cover option.

Feel more like a Pug pup, we can help you there also, sets or diaper cover this is a cute set. 

We have many other fun hat options that paired up with some comfy clothes can make a great costume, fun play clothes and winter hat.  What about a teddy be to math a cozy blanket sleeper, the options are endless. 

Almost School

School is starting for our family, the guys on Monday the 24th and Tab on Sept. 1st/ All this is not a moment too soon, boredom has set in and I need a break.

Our Baby Boom

Our family baby boom has come to an end with the arrival of Kiarah on Tuesday. That makes four new babies this year. My niece also had a baby in April so this Christmas should be wonderful, five new little people to love. My mom who is 80 cannot wait to snuggle a;ll these new little family members. I on the other hand have a whole new set of models for my hats.

Jake

These are my newest loves.  I count my blessing daily, four beautiful healthy babies and mine to spoil and love.  With all this cuddling and family I have been trying to get some hats together for a show , but up until now I am just working on orders and find myself on Pinterest looking for new ideas for this bunch.  Halloween was discussed by the two older guys,

should the babies be ninja turtles, what about minions and last but not least paw patrol.  Paw Patrol has seemed to win so those hats are in the works.  Visit us on Facebook to see how things are coming along.  

  Bye for now , I am off to work on hats and #fox blankets.

Waiting

I am not known for being patient and waiting for things to happen. We have our 4th and final baby due August 4th and I am on pins and needles. A little girl finally. Now do not get me wrong I LOVE my boys all six of them but it will be nice to #crochet some pink and purple stuff for a change.  Right about now is when I start to work on hats for #Halloween and the upcoming Christmas season.  Boston Terriers are still very popular and I am adding some new items to the shop.

I am busy and will keep right on crocheting until her arrival. No name has been chosen yet so the boys and Grandpa have nicknamed her BOB.  Minions and rhinos are next up on my list.  Summer is moving quickly and the holidays will be here before you know it.  

Busy Time

Today finds me finishing up some orders for my Etsy shop, waiting on a call about the possible birth of our newest Great Grandson and putting together the menu for our upcoming family party.  With so many grandkids and such busy schedules a few years back we decided to hold a Summer Birthday Bash. Carsen has chosen the theme again this year. A FIESTA !

Decorations have been gathered, the yard work is done nd now presents and food.   With any luck all three of this year's new babies will attend. That gives this Gramma lots of chances to snuggle with them.
 This is also the final week of school so as of Wednesday, I will no longer have those hours of silence to grt my things done.  How long before "I'm bored" sets in?  My bet is for Friday, Tab does not know how to amuse herself.

Our littlest guy , as of right now finally came home after 6 weeks in the NICU and has discovered his best friend, also his Mom's. My oldest Grandson Joe. He is always there for her and now AJ.

With so much going on I still have time to find new items for the shop and unwind while I crochet.

I forgot o mention that during our Fiesta we are having a baby shower for our final by of the year. I am jut about babied out, I think since January I ve bought at leat NE if everything in the baby department. 

Can you blame me with aces like these?

Life is busy, but oh so good here in Gramma land !
