Baby Shower

Tomorrow I will be having a Baby Shower for Melanie and what fun I have had planning and preparing for it. Today I finished up some items I am making for the wee Yen. One thing is a bright red Chinese print fabric backed with soft polar fleece to help keep the tiny one warm this winter. It has panda bears on the fabric which Mei-Ling loves. Its good to use things big sister likes too.

The knitted afghan I am making is coming along but won't be done for tomorrow. It seems to take a while to knit rows of 200 stitches with baby yarn when you don't have hours to knit every day ! I asked Melanie to pick out the yarn she liked because I am just a solid traditionalist when it comes to baby things and don't keep up with the modern styles. I think pastels and more in the line of ribbons and smocking.
Melanie went to the Doctors today and all is well. She will be 30 weeks tomorrow and the baby is about 3 lbs 14 oz and an active one.

What excitement we all feel with the anticipation of another blessing in the family. God is good and is not short handed in giving good gifts.

There are things for me to be doing right now so I had better get to it : ) Cooking, cleaning, decorating, sewing a bit more....hope to make a tiny little hat for Yen that will match his new blanket.

Life is good !

It appears by the wintry looking sky that cold weather may just be around the corner and am I glad.
