Can you believe July is over? You know what this means? We are getting closer to having a baby! She is now considered full-term, 37 weeks. I can barely contain my excitement.
My niece had her baby 2 days ago. The girls were 2 weeks apart….my niece was induced, though, so who knows how close they might have come. We went to see her in the hospital and the nurse there was almost overbearing in saying my little mama-to-be needed to be home in bed. Her poor feet and ankles are so swollen but she’s been taking it easy and the doctor is watching her closely. She goes tomorrow and is on her once a week appointments now unless they decide she needs to come in more often.
Doesn’t she look like a cute mama-to-be?
Thankfully, my niece and little one are doing just fine.
I managed to get some knitting done! I joined the Caffiene Addicts swap and we had to include a knitted item. At first I was a little overwhelmed at knitting anything and then I decided to go for it when I found this pattern at one of my favorite yarn shops!
This is a handout with purchase at Village Yarn and Tea. I made friends with the owner a few years ago so I always like to pop in to say hi but I have yet to see her there! I do plan to see her at Stitch n Pitch, though.
I accidentally made too many picots on the edge but I do like how it came out….a lot! Also, the pattern calls for an I-cord drawstring but I had the little imp help me wind up a twisted drawstring cord instead and I like it. I just forced it into the stockinette stitch and it works just fine.
I might actually start drinking tea to have something like this!
….or else I’ll just add to my teapot collection that I have …. and none of them ever see any tea.

oh my goodness! I saw your daughter holding a baby, and I got so excited!
Congrats to your niece, and I’m praying for you guys!
That tea cozy is the cutest one I’ve ever seen. Makes me want to drink tea, too!

I like the teapots! Those are cute.
I can’t wait til it’s my baby in my arms.

Hi Sherri,
I haven’t visited your blog in quite sometime (somehow you were lost from my bloglines feed??). Good to catch up! I am excited about your new grandbaby on the way! My daughter had her baby 5 weeks ago. We are enjoying him SOOOOOOO much!! It’s an entire new leaf in my book of life, but one that I am enjoying every minute of. My daughter got preeclampsia and was induced 2 weeks early, but our little guy came in at 8LB 6oz anyway - and both were fine. DD had to have a c section however. She’s very tiny, and babe was not! Tell your daughter to enjoy every minute of rest now while she can get it……. vbg! You are gonna LOVE being a grandma!!!!

She looks wonderful holding a baby. Makes me want to have mine little again. My font is from the cutest blogs on the block. She has a ton of different designs and it’s very easy to install.
