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!
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.
No sew Quilt
Bill Cosby Quotes: "No matter how calmly you try to referee, parenting will eventually produce bizarre behavior, and I'm not talking about the kids. Their behavior is always normal.
Bill Cosby"
Beans & Boo love their Bunnies
and Gran'mare loves that they're good for them.
Also at Oriental Trading Co (I love this place!)
They have professional ducks, animal ducks you name it and only $5 a dozen.
