“Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away”

Today, I was given a moment that took my breath away.

"It's a Boy!"

My daughter and son-in-law found out they will be having a boy in about four months.

I couldn't have been happier. :) Now, I get to buy new yarn, pick patterns, and crochet boyish looking things.
I will only have to look harder for boyish things to crochet, since patterns and crocheted stuff tends to lean towards the feminine side of things. But to no avail, I will succeed! What are Gramma's for?

The ABC blankie I started as soon as I found out she was expecting my first grandchild, has been in lingo, waiting to see if I will put a flat border or a frilly one... Flat it is! :)

ME: I am a 44 yr old who happens to be married to a wonderful man. I am the mother of three, the step-mother of three, and a few that we wish we were parents to.
I love to do many crafts, but mostly find myself crocheting and reading. I am an aspiring writer "wannabe". I aspire to want to be a writer, :) and have had a couple of articles printed, but the local paper isn't that wide spread, so I still aspire.

SO, this blog will be filled with the randomness that fills my thoughts. Thoughts that I might want to eventually look back and say... "Oh yeh, I remember..."


Be on the lookout for crafts, work complaints :), family gatherings and bragging rights of a Mom and soon to be Gramma.
