A baby is a good way start a new person...

I have been reflecting on that time of high expectation just before a child is born. You already have a relationship with the child but once it is born their personality begins to unfold before your eyes and a new little person is revealed.
My daughter is 'only just' overdue with her first baby also in autumn as I was, but on the other side of the world. It stirs memories of how precious that time is with a new baby. And it flys by so quickly-  a very precious time when you really must slow down and enjoy.  I can't wait to meet my first grandchild.

I'll never take a crochet blanket for granted again...

 

You just don't appreciate how much work goes into these crochet blankets until you make one! I grew up with them and took them very much for granted.  But not any more - and it's only cot size!

Raggy Quilt

One completed raggy quilt. Just a crochet blanket to finish now.

Progress...

All blocks quilted and laid out. Now to join them together.

Tulip time

Red tulips are flowering outside my bedroom window.

It seems appropriate as I prepare for a trip to Amsterdam later next month.
