Well hello there Peter!

Last month I finished this quilt just in time!

*It's Peter's Birthday Quilt*

 A little over 2 weeks ago-- I spent the night at Megan & Tony's house.

The boys & I woke up in the morning- their mom & dad had already headed off to the hospital.

It was such a BIG & IMPORTANT day!

We ate breakfast, got dressed in super hero shirts, brushed our teeth, watched Curious George (of course), took Charlie to preschool, played, then headed to Arctic Circle for lunch.

It was a very rainy day-

so we stepped in puddles, looked for worms, and

found spring flowers

THEN IT WAS TIME

and we headed to the hospital to meet their

 new little brother.

Peter

  just hours old.

There really was a baby in there!

A new baby brother.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 

PETER

It was another really, great, day!

Big Brothers- Charlie & Joey

 here they are about 2 hours past their bed time.

After a really long day- they were too pumped up to sleep.

But finally they fell asleep & so did Nana.

catching up

This summer:

I made this sweet quilt for my lovely niece & nephews daughter Clair.

I LOVE IT & I Love her.

I babysat my grandsons- not a lot but I got to more than I would have if they didn't live in Utah now!!

WOOT WOOT- for now

ALL OF MY SWEET GRANDSONS LIVE WITHIN ONE HOUR AWAY!

We went to the "blue park" 

Joey likes to 

pretend he is dead...

Especially when he doesn't want to be bothered...

or leave the park.

This just cracks me up- 

It's been a hard, emotional year for us here at our house.

As you know Chloe's anxiety, depression, Tourette syndrome, etc.

Got really bad- She is doing much, much better.

It's been a long road.

It's feeling like I can breathe again.

I don't cry as much.

It's nice.

I am hoping to get caught up here & I will share more later.

fall sewing

It is so beautiful in Utah right now.

Pictures do not do justice to how beautiful the mountains & trees are.

It's absolutely breath taking.

It's lucky I haven't gotten in a car accident -- I love the views.

Yesterday I finished up two projects.

First this baby quilt-

Seriously cute boy fabrics for Laura's nephew.

I'm really happy to get this done- he is 7 or 8 months old now. Geez Louizzz

The very minute I finished the baby quilt I started making these--

Super Hero Capes!

My number 1 Grandson Charlie is turning 3 at the end of the month-

3

can you believe it!?

Three is the perfect age for a reversible Batman/Super Charlie cape.

And every good Nana knows that it's no fun playing super heroes alone.

So I'm sending along a 

reversible Super Joey/Superman.

That way Joey or a friend can play along too.

(my model: Super Grandpa)

 I searched through pinterest & found a template I liked.

Then free handed a bit & wa-la!

These were so fun to make-- really fun.

I've been thinking of all kinds of boy themed sewing & crafts these days.

I Spy all finished

Look what I finished this weekend~

Charlie's I SPY quilt!

I can't wait to give it to him in a couple of weeks when he is here.

We will definitely be spying scooters, cherries, letters, stars, cars, bikes, cupcakes... Oh I just can't wait.

For the backing I used some left over squares & an alphabet panel that I have been saving for just the right occasion.

~I love it~
