Patiently Waiting in Spring

We are expecting a new baby in our family in just a very short time. 

Willow Tree Antiques on Etsy

Our little hatch-ling will not be a bobble headed chick 
we are expecting something a little bigger.

This little kitten is not exactly what we are expecting either but very cute and you can find her here: Mamadupuis
Nope not a duck not even this adorable baby duck from efinegifts duck

Even the little duck and the kitty and the chick are not expecting a Hippo in a Bath like 
Wonderdiva's Hippo

Nope not a chick, a kitty, a duck, not a hippo...
We are expecting a baby like this little one right here.

We are patiently waiting for a little brother or sister to appear and be the best buddy of this little boy right here. 
\Praying and waiting. 

Aaron’s blessing in the Old Testament, Numbers 6:22-27:   

May God bless you and watch over you.
May God shine His face toward you and show you favor.
May God look on your with favor and grant you shalom peace.

Spring Baby Blooms

It's knit all done...where is that baby?

little stay on booties the pattern is free on Ravelry here I went down needle sizes to  sz 6 and sz 4.  with worsted weight.

The hat is also a free pattern. One that I love and have made many times.  Also on Ravelry here
My adaptation for the hat is to use size 6 needles to make it more of a newborn size.  
I like to add the leaf also instead of just having the perky little top knot.  The leaf...yup you guessed it free on Ravelry here It is the best leaf EVER. It is double sided and you knit it all up at once on 3 dp's.  The booties and the hat are all worsted weight.  The little blankets are bulky knit. I used this pattern free on Ravelry here with bulky yarn and size 15 needles.  Approx 220 yds.
All set baby! You can come out now!

A Knitting Kind of Night

I love shopping on line for yarns. Look at these beautiful colors
available from Lion Brand here: link

Pink Poodle

Duckie

Sweet Pea
I love them.  I think Lion Brand makes a great product.  Perfect for baby projects.  Soft and washable. Pretty much non destructible.  That is what you want for busy moms on the go.
I will be making a custom order for my Cocoon and Cloche Hat with Flowers .
This will be for my Etsy shop here:  Knits by Weelambie  

There are wonderful yarns available on Etsy.  Special Yarns! The kind of yarns you want to roll around in and drink in. 
Like this one available at Wandering Cat Yarns

Rainbow Brite Alley Cat

Seriously I could eat it with a spoon!

My middle son and his wife are having baby number two in April.  We won't know if this baby is a boy or a girl until the moment it is born, but really isn't this an April kind of a color?

Iced Violets Twinkle Cat

Iced Violets is also available here: link @ Wandering Cat Yarns.  
When I know what this baby is I will be getting some Wandering Cats for sure.

The Year Life Said Pay Attention

Happy New Year.
2012 was full of challenges and blessings. 
Brennan was born on his Great Gramma's 100th birthday.  She died 4 years ago tonight at one minute to midnight.  Miss you Mom and know you are watching over us.
The seemingly impossible was made possible with the gift of a liver transplant.
My brother visited.  My nieces visited and my son surprised me with a visit.
I got my first tattoo.
There was no sliding through this past year.  At every turn I was forced to sink or swim and to pay attention to my faith, my God.
Friends and family at every turn kept me going.  I have been blessed beyond measure.
In the next year I cannot imagine what will come my way.  I have learned to expect the unexpected and to be greatful for every moment. 

Leo in the snow

I got to spend ten days with this grandson and in April he will have a little  brother or sister come to join him. 
I hope to be more mindful of every moment in 2013 and to take better care of myself.  I want to see these beautiful grandchildren of mine grow up. 
Happy New Year and thank you God for this year. 
Anne
 

Upside Down Downside Up

The cutest face ever.

Brennan wearing his infant sized bunny tail soakers as a hat.
Knitting is usually fun. Brennan is always funny.  Funny hats are always a hit. 
Wearing your diaper cover on your head is funny every time....
His mama says " this is his feed me face"!
