No not for me! I'm past that stage in my life although I do miss those days. My DDIL is expecting our first grandchild and it's a girl! Her name is Grace Elizabeth and she will be making her debut in this world in about 6 weeks! You see I raised 3 boys so this is a lovely gift!
My parents owned a fabric store for many years and I've sewn since I was 9. For many years now about the only things I sew are patches on the boys clothes. They're grown men now but I'm still patching. I have sewn a few things but due to my RA I can't do much. A few years ago I did sew a little for
Threads of Love but it was just too painful physically for me. Last week friends of my DIL Michele gave her a baby shower. I did manage to sew her a nursing cover, burp cloth, and bib. They turned out nice although I wished I would have embellished them a bit. It was a last minute idea. When I say last minute I mean LAST MINUTE! At ten minutes til closing on Friday night I ran into
Hobby Lobby and bought $56 worth of fabric, notions, and lord only knows what all I grabbed but how did I spend that much that quickly? I sewed all night and made the cover, burp cloth, and bib. In the old days of my sewing I could have done that in less that 2 hours. At least I still have enough supplies left to make more baby things out of that $56. Here is the fabric I used:

I've gone crazy pinning on my
Pinterest everything baby. I'm pinning under babies, baby showers, sewing, for Gracie, etc. It's sometimes hard to know where the exact spot to pin under. I did realize I won't be saving much by sewing the regular items of clothing but I'll be able to sew her fancy outfits much cheaper than buying. I also plan to make her at least one quilt and sign it from meemaw. :D You'll appreciate that more if you watch
Big Bang Theory on CBS Thursday nights. I think she'll probably be calling me maw maw per my son's request. That's what I called my grandma. This pinning addiction I have lately may be part of the reason I don't blog a lot. It reminds me of the days when the new Sears catalog would arrive and I would spend days wishing and circling my favorite wants for Santa and later in life just for me. Oh I can't wait for Santa to visit Miss Grace! Grace look at those cheeks at the 6 month ultrasound!
