| i finished up a dozen burp cloths for my granbaby |
 |
| i used my leftover bits of flannel |
 |
| i used flannel on both sides for a few and then i decided to try a few w terry towel on the back |
 |
| terry towel is my favorite..i think they will be more absorbent... i just i bought a 6 pack of bar mop cloths at ross for 2.99 ... inexpensive and i love the finish with the soft colors xo |
 |
| i have been using this pattern for a few years now...so fun to make a dozen for my first granbaby xo |
 |
| i finished up this simple baby quilt in march at my quilt retreat...it was originally started as a graduation quilt but put aside cuz it was too baby.... |
 |
| i machine quilted it yesterday with bellybop |
 |
| and i used my special where the wild things are flannel for the back...i bought 10 yards on a sale table a few years ago... it was actually nick who spotted it ~ i remember it well cuz that is the one and ONLY time my husband has ever "found" fabric |
 |
| i love how simple it is and i love that simple is definitely a favorite |
 |
| i made a matching cover for the cradle mattress with double batting |
 |
| the cradle is a gift from my friend kay ...her father made it for her children forty years ago... |
 |
| sam and lani took the cradle home last night ... soon there will be a sweet baby boy rocking in this beautiful cradle xo |
 |
| camped at washington park in annacortes on the weekend xo |
 |
| the spring wild flowers are here |
 |
| we walked up to the south bluff preservation ~ my favorite view EVER and we saw seven eagles soaring above the channel |
 |
| i love that when a tree falls in a park forest it just gets moved aside and continues with nature xo |
 |
| gifts from the sea ~ glass is always my special find while beach combing |
 |
| my friend sharon [thank you xo] recommended the majestic inn in annacortes for their 5th floor rooftop restaurant with a view of the san juans ~ it was a chilly beer but they had blankets xo |
 |
| and there are always a few of these babies around |
 |
| and the sunsets were great xo |
 |
| had a visit w these two soon to be three xo |
 |
| in one more month lani and sam will be a mama & papa and i will be a gramma |
 |
| we had lunch with the future aunties at volunteer park cafe [yum] and then went on to visit the conservatory for the first time xo |
 |
| the flowers were perfect xo |
 |
| this room was bursting with the smell of spring xo |

 |
