Proud Grandmother...

May I introduce the new member in our family... Nemo's little boy- no name yet- born the 10 of April. Exacitly just the rigth size ;-)
I'm so happy both my grand children lives close to each other so I can vistit them at the same time.
It is hard to think how fast the babies grew up, it is only a year since Emma was this little... and look at her now...
Here she are - one year big and ready to learn her little cousin all the fun stuff she are doing.....
I have been able to do some sew stuff lately too, I got a challenge from Kjerstin to finish my Veranda View. So at last it is out of the dark in my UFO pile and ready to be hung on the wall.
I hav also done this little quilt, ok - almost done. I have to stitch the name of the boy as soon as I got it... LOL. The other photos are my two daugthers and Emma. It is some of the first photos I got of them all. The hearts on the little quilt are from a block exchange I have been a part of for two years now. Last year we made Friendship stars, and this year hearts. We where 8 ladies and last week 7 of us meet and had a show and tell... Realy funny to see how diffrent we used our hearts a lot of great work.
Just take a look at the photos...





Next year it is Lapphøna and I who will arrange the swop...
I will be so fun to meet all the girs again , we only meet once a year . So to the girls- it will be fun to see you again next year here in Trysil. ;-)

Untill next time - have fun and tacke care.... I will keep a close eye on my mail box. I know there are some great stuff on the way from Australia....

So all of you who love chocolate you misst something there... LOL

To day it has been sunshine here, I hope it will last a long time now. Easter has been great for sewing in my part of the world, but now I hope for spring. I have seen some birds of passage who has come back. But they looked cold....

There are an old saying going like this: One Swallow are no summer. - But I hope one Starling are... There was one in my garden yesterday....
I cross my fingers ;-)
