Grandmas

It's funny how a great moments with my kids' grandma (my mom) makes me miss my own Grams.
When I miss my Grams I usually try to do something that she would do with me.

Last week I showed the kids how to roll their coins from their piggy banks. I did that every time I went to visit her.

I also tend to fill my hummingbird feeder when I miss her. She loved her hummingbirds. I swear her yard fed millions of them.

I tried to learn to knit....I suck at it. But I was trying cause I knew my grams could do it. Next I'll try crocheting.

She taught me how to make scrunchies when I was 12 or so and she could really sew anything, so I like to feel close to her by pretending to sew stuff.

I got out my sewing machine and made some bibs for the kids so they could stop fighting over the same one each time. Yes I know they are too big for bibs but they only really use them on Sundays or nice clothing days that we just don't have time to change.

I also made the new babus a diaper and wipes holder thing.

I tried to make Leah a simple little nightgown, no pattern (can't follow them anyway) and she said it wasn't very soft. Boo! Whatever :)

If my Grams were still here, I would beg her to make me a Lap Desk and a baby boy beanie.

I won't even attempt these projects on my own but I really love them.

Ho Hum....come back Grams.


P.S. This baby that is coming in 7 days has NO name. So sad. I was pretty stuck on a name for the last few months. I thought the whole family was too.....I was wrong. Now I am on the hunt for a name that sounds just right for this little one. Any ideas??
