Blowing wishes...

there are events in life that move us from one chapter of this journey to the next

a year ago today was one of those events....

Zoe was born....

I watched my child become a parent ..

and then I ran and looked in the mirror to see if I looked like a grandmother....it answered back "yes"

Happy 1st Birthday Zoe...we love you oh so much...


I've decided to make Zoe a "one year blanket"...
to use while she sleeps in the warm summer months.....
of Italy...because she's a lucky baby

it's fingering weight yarn so if any knitter blogging buddies have a special pattern you'd refer me to...
it'll become a keepsake

but first....I'm completing this...Mason Dixon Moderne Baby Blanket

100% cotton
80% stash - 20% recently clearanced to make up the shortage

100% perfect for baby boy...due in July...for a new grandparent who'll be running to the mirror just like me

Zoe....I miss you...

I'm eating a cupcake today...with a baby candle on top....

thinking of you..and all I have to look forward to...

thank you Eric and Leah

Happy Birthday Zoe! And Happy Grandma Day to you. What in the mirror told you that you were now a grandma? I bet it was the glow and love beaming from your face?

Glow being a compliment, not an editorial on sweating or anything like that. :-0

I love the one year old baby blanket yarn. It looks so festive!
