MY STATUS HAS CHANGED... UPDATES ON RUG AND PINK SCARF

My granddaughter Jordyn gave birth after midnight last night. I visited her in the hospital this afternoon.  Both mother and son are doing well.

The baby opened his eyes after eating a little bit. He weigh  7lbs 12 oz at birth.



My granddaughter is just radiant with joy. You can tell that she has the motherly instinct.  I think that she will make a great mother.


  A tired but  happy new little family.



 Dad was caught off guard while holding his baby boy.

I was so glad to see two friends visiting my granddaughter. I hadn't seen them in so long.


 This is Audrey and Linda, two great friends.


Just a little bouquet to welcome the new great grandson.


Now for the other updates.
I finished  putting the fringe on my pink scarf last evening and I took night photos of the scarf and also my Childhood Memories rug. All I have left to hook is a tiny section of the Dick and Jane little school book on my rug. I can't remember what the cover looked like. My memory isn't that good. lol...


The pink scarf was knitted for a cancer survivor project  that Yaya of Whispering Pines was hosting on her blog.
I'm waiting for an address to sent the scarf to as soon as possible. I'm not the world best knitter and my tension is not always even. It all depends how tired I am or if my arthritis is acting up.



This is what I have done on my Childhood Memories rugso far. It has been a very slow project... I seldom find enough time to hook during the day. If I choose my colors in the daylight, I can hook at night. My eyesight has difficulty with subtle shades at night. When I have it completely finished I'll write what each vignette means to me in an other post.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comments. I so appreciate it you taking the time to comment.
Have a great week.

  32. OH I feel terrible that I did not come by sooner to congratulate you on your new great grand baby. I must be the last one in blog land to know.
    Congrats to you and your beautiful granddaughter. Another baby boy in the family. How wonderful! He is adorable and so lucky to have you as a great grandma.
    Love the pink scarf. When in the world did you have time to do it.
    Your rug is gorgeous and I love it when you show us new pictures of it.
    Amazing you finished it already even though I know you feel like it has been a long process.
    I have missed you but as of late I just have not been on the computer.
    Hope your well and enjoy your weekend.
    Love ya

  33. Congratulations on the new baby in the family - so much for you to look forward to getting to know each other. I had'nt been to your blog for a while so this is a late catch up, your scarf is pretty - I am learning to knit so knitted a scarf in scrap wool from ebay (white) but then unravelled it all so I can practice again! I have heard about the pink scarf project and am hoping to be good enough at knitting to do one too soon - a number of blogs are doing this, it's such a great cause, Betty

  34. Dick and Jane were on a Blue book, Dick on a scooter, I believe,,,,maybe yellow. Jane was on a tricycle in front and a little to the right of Dick. Spot was just behind / to the side of Jane and trike....I believe that little sprigs of green grass spirited underneath. ...... Now, I could be wrong on colors, but this is what I remember. Red trike?

    1. Thanks Nan, I really do appreciate this information. I love to read so much when I was a kid that I was only noticing what I was reading. English was my secondary language.
