little travel,
family, Nancy and Ronald,
just like I did as a child,
yarn store,
to pick out yarn fora special sweater,
{the colors are still
red and orange just
like she wanted, but
we are using Plymouth Dream Baby }
My favorite wee one is now
back home, but it really
was a great weekend,
even if I am exhausted!
Thank you to my daughter
and husband for giving me
this time!
Linking with Amanda.
It is always so wonderful to spend time with the grandchildren, isn't it? I remember making those kind of pot holders when I was a child. I made a lot of those. My grandma got pot holders for every birthday, Christmas and Mother's Day for years. I saw a loom for those at a store the other day...maybe that would be good Christmas gift for a couple of my wee ones from grandma. Thanks for the great idea~
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you saw her and spent time with her, I know how hard it's been for you!! The knit shop looks so nice! I could spent some time in that store :)
ReplyDeleteSo happy you got to spend time with your granddaughter. Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got some special time with your wee one this weekend! Looks like you enjoyed every last minute.
ReplyDeleteA special time with the little one! So happy for you. Love the weaving. What yarn is it you are using to weave?
ReplyDeletewhat a precious time you got to spend together.
ReplyDeleteshe's got a great taste in color, red and orange will make a fantastic sweater!
So thankful to see that you had this time with her :) I know how sweet it is. And those pot holders brought back so many memories! What a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteit all sounds so perfect tracey, your little one is pure sunshine and what a lovely oma you are knitting for her, even in her own special colors!
ReplyDeleteGosh the little one is just so cute. I am glad you had time with her this weekend.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a really great weekend. I spent some time at my local yarn store, too - sewing sheep to the railing (because I'm crazy and the owner is awesome). (:
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got to spend time with the wee one! She is so precious! I can't wait to see her orange and red sweater! I used to make those pot holders too. I think I should try to find the things to make them. Ree would love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful wonderful time. You are so blessed!
ReplyDeleteyou are the most special nana.
ReplyDeletelove the turtles, the cascade yarn and, of course, the sweet grandbaby.
Sounds like a wonderful weekend.
XO
Ronald and Nancy! Love it!!! I always had turtles growing up----although mine were ALL named Josephine (even when I had more than one at a time---?????? I don't get it either) And I had to laugh out loud........I only have loopy potholders; they are THE BEST. I can't convince any grand to make them for me, so I have to make my own, too! (And I am way overdue for some new ones....they are such a pain to get off the loom--I lost my 'good' metal weaver tool; I couldn't have lost that silly plastic thing they put in the kits now.
