He's Here!!! Part 2

My second grandson has arrived! I am blessed beyond measure! Two healthy grandsons and two healthy mommas. 

GOD is so good and I am so grateful and so very thankful.

My heart is so full!

 

He's Here!!!

 He's Here!!!

First and foremost, Momma and baby boy are both doing great!

My first grandson has arrived! Born at 9:19 on 09/19, healthy and handsome.

I am so grateful and so blessed with the arrival of this beautiful baby boy.

Blessed beyond measure!

My heart is so full, as I sit here trying to write this post I struggle to find the words to express the joy of this precious life. I will say it is so amazing to have the blessing of watching my child become a mother. Watching her hold and love her child is truly a feeling of completeness as a mother that I never realized was even possible. I simply do not have words to express the joy and happiness that I am feeling.

I just feel so honored and so blessed! Excited for the blessing of getting to watch this little guy grow and the opportunity to love him.

Let the adventures begin!

A lovely morning with a hot cuppa tea.

Baby Quilts for My Grandsons

Baby Quilts for My Grandsons

In March of this year while in Florida, the parents of my grandsons went with me to a quilt shop and picked the fabrics for the baby quilts.

I decided on the same quilt pattern for both of the quilts. The pattern is by Woolly Petals, and is FREE on her website, Wash Your Paws 

My son and his wife chose a galaxy themed fabric bundle, I found this cute panel to make the backing.

I had the best time creating these quilts for my grandsons.

My daughter picked a mid modern print with lots of cheerful motifs and coordinating tone on tone solids and I was able to find a print with pixelated 1990's motifs for the backing.

There are even a few dinosaurs scattered throughout.

Today we finished the nursery and we love how it turned out. My daughter's vision for this room was warm and whimsical and she nailed it!

It's such a sweet, warm and whimsical room that is now ready for the baby to arrive.

 

Sorting Hats for My Grandsons

Organization

 Organization

As of late I haven't actually spent a lot of time sewing in my new sewing space but I am taking the time to get things organized.

I purchase cards used to keep comic books in pristine condition as mini bolts to hold my fabric stash. Carding my fabrics on these mini bolts has been both fun and tedious. Fun because I am finding fabrics I completely forgot that I had and tedious because there is a lot of pressing and folding of said fabrics. Only now am I realizing how extensive my fabric stash actually is ...

I am also coming across fabrics and notions that have been gifted to me over the years and my heart is full.

Needless to say organizing is an eye opening process for sure ...

I am blessed and humbled by the process of organizing my sewing room.

Wrapping my mind around that my first born is 39 years old today.

I love being his Momma and infinitely proud of the man he has become.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
