…this site would be so much easier if the photo's would behave better here.
Crocheted in cotton for a light summery wrap is the Rose filigree.
To be finished and sleeves readjusted a bit for Anna is a wine rose cardi that appears orange on here, and that mauve wool shawl that's begging for a pretty edge. (Anyone have any suggestions?)
Then there's the beginnings of another soft blankie for the littlest.
.
As yet, I think I like my old blog site. It's simply comfy there.
Here is our Anna, she's so much like her mom at that age! 
Now that was easy enough even for me, I'm quite proud! I've imported my blogger furniture over here and am deciding which place to set up housekeeping.
I'm still a little clueless how to insert a pretty link in a post, but the other site is The Bloomin Basket
Go see..I need opinions. WordPress is so much easier in so many ways.
Lovely Anna Elisabeth made her appearance..the day after Easter! 7lbs, 8oz. of noise and dimples! Pictures forthcoming (it's that silly camera problem again..)as soon as I can, meantime all are well, even if my post is so long overdue. She's going to be brown-eyed like her mom and has beautiful brown hair. First baby in a couple generations that didn't arrive looking like Winston Churchill on a bad day.
My favorite fat old hen proudly hatched 5 chicks on the same day, it's in the air..!!!
So we celebrated with a family cookout and discovered the yummy fragrance on the wind enticed a ragged starving stray kitten to our roof. He's a sweet little buttercream tomcat and is quite fat and sassy since moving in with us.
Obviously..Spring has sprung!
Okay, that makes two jammie bottoms, two sweaters, a baby blankie..and the latest addition to the family still is being coy about making her grand entrance.
Possibly she's waiting for gramma to get a new digital camera? (this is my argument, anyway)
But if she's waiting for a Faire Isle miracle, it's going to be a while. I can't even begin to focus on choosing a pattern and the idea of steeks still makes me shudder.
Oldest daughter is about to pop! The new baby is apt to make an appearance by this coming weekend and I still have half a leg of jammie bottoms to finish, two sweaters and a blankie to put together! (Panic!) Since she’s so near term, we’ve kept her 3 year old, along with our son’s 2 year old..you can imagine how much knitting I’m getting done here! Ack! In our little retirement cottage this is bedlam!
I have been a very naughty gramma … but..but..it was so pretty! Knitpicks had the Palette yarn for such a nice price..and Christmas will be here again before we know it! (that's my excuse and I'm stickin' to it)
So many colors! Now doesn't that look like molten sunshine!
I'm not even going into the Inox spree last week…. 
Okay, I'm just not into making a sweater for myself. It's been frogged and returned to nice skeins (it was green, it was boring…and 80 degree weather didn't motivate me) so now I'm planning Dale of Norway! I have wool to dye when I decide on the colors for them…yes, "them!"..I want to make one for a 2 year old grandson, a 7 year old granddaughter, my 6'2" son..this could occupy me for the next three months! And of course the newest to arrive (Soon!!) will have soft, handknitted things while I ponder the colors for the others.
A Blog Reborne *Cheers!* Now that's some bobbling! Good job!
