Welcome!

I'm Gran'mare and those two fabulous faces above are my grand-daughters.."The Girls"...Beanz & Bou and these pages are all about our days together. You see, I am privileged enough to spend more time than the average G'mom with "The Girls" (2 in '08).

We have a funtabulous time together and hope you enjoy visiting us. Hopefully along the way you'll laugh a little, cry a little and learn a few things from a well seasoned G'mom & mother of 3.

I had hoped to start this shortly after their arrival mostly as a journal for myself but............
I will backtrack (as memory allows) to the beginning when Aunt Tissa & I hovered over Mama Baby and together we heard their heartbeats for the very first time...talk about slap happy!

No SewQuilt

I do not sew. Lord knows I have enough addictions (hobbies) already. Just a stitch here & there for me.
Still I managed to make "The Girls" quilts and they came out pretty nice (if I do say so myself).
The secret?.....
The panels came premade (& 50% off w/ a coupon at Joanne's).
I added batting, nice & thick.
The back is "no pill" plush fleece...oh so soft (also 50% off)
Then I put the tape on each side and ironed on the binding
....whala!!!!...a ccomfy, cozy& cute quilt!

I did decide to then hand-stitch (yes, that's right) around the bunnies & squares to hold the batting in place
and to give the quilt a little demension. Someday I may go back and stitch around the binding.
