grandbabies

when joe was expecting Ava I piddled around with what kind of quilt to make her. i put together a couple simple ones, Wizard of Oz, alphabet, butterfly,,,, but i couldnt settle on just what kind of grammy quilt she should have. then she was born and we wrapped her in soft flannel and minky and she was too little for a "real" quilt anyway. but, then she picked up her first book and read the pages of Olivia with her grandpa George. Waa Laa! the idea for an olivia quilt was born. then I saw one on the share my quilt site and went on the fabric search. Ava's Olivia quilt came to life quickly and so sweet! we keep it here because I dont want it to get rolled up in a ball somewhere, and she plays on it and chews on it and rolls around on it every time she comes to see grammy and poppop. i told joe he could take it to day care but instead he took the wizard of oz quilt -- no worries, grammy is with her.

and now we have baby ryan on the way. Taresa, in true love her momma fashion, has requested that I make his crib bedding. Yay! but that leaves no room for piddling around, I have to make some fabric decisions soon~! his nursery will be a nautical theme so thats my inspiration, cant wait to get it started, and am very excited that Ryan will be wrapped in grammy love from day one.
