Baby, what a big surprise!

Today was one of those milestone days. The day I bought my first outfit for a little girl who's coming to see me real soon.  My very first grandchild!

I bought the little baby short-set today while shopping for maternity clothes with my lovely daughter in law.  We had a really nice time and she picked up some serious bargains!

 And I finally got something to wear to the wedding in California. Yahoo!  So cute. 

And I am totally getting inspired to spin this great looking silk cap and roving for my next project.  Just need to get the pattern for it!

I spun up a sample and crocheted a little chain to see how it looks.  Absolutely gorgeous!

My grandmother's crochet hook

I was telling my son and his wife today about my grandmother that taught me to crochet, and my grandfather who always took me to the drug store for a toy, let me drink coffee with him and taught me to play solitaire.
Josh didn't know his great grand father had been a policeman and before that was a small business owner.  They owned a "filling station" as we called them in those days.  Gas station to those of you born after about 1970!

There's a new generation coming our way and I couldn't be happier!
