Working steadily on Aiden's quilt now...although his ETA is still well over a month away...both Nicole and I feel it will be sooner. Last night she was going through that energetic burst of "cleaning"...even things that didn't need cleaning.
Nesting :)
So happy that James made it in for a while on his run to the East Coast. She was thrilled! They both were.
"It's LOVE when she greets you at the door excited and smiling at 2:30 in the morning, Mom."
Working on a green and tan elephant motif to go with the Carter's Green Elephant Nursery theme...and yes...I know these elephants aren't copies of the Green Elephant design. But they will fit in.
Found the best crib/converts to a toddler and youth bed I am having delivered at the end of the month. Dark espresso coloured wood and complete with mattress.
If he arrives earlier than that...they're just going to have to cradle him in a box or dresser drawer for a few days.
After I finish it I am going to embroider
"Welcome to the Herd"
Aiden Brock Hurst
love,
Grandma Rose
Nicole says she can't wait to see him wrapped in it.
That makes two of us, hon!
Nice easy Sunday today.
Chicken frying...mashed red potatoes...steamed snowpeas and sweet tea chilling. Egg custard with nutmeg for afters. A little final touch up on the second book of the Zen Trilogy...releasing the 22nd (or thereabouts) some reading...some photo editing...catching up with email and the news...working a bit more on the quilt...definitely a nap...a deep warm bubble bath and soak in the tub...and checking out the film- Book Thief..."Idgy" gave it a rave review...and we can discuss it over coffee in the morning.
Adding to my container gardens this year and found the best fountain.
Can't wait until the weather settles so i can enjoy a long bask on North Patio Beach!
(conveniently located on the North Side of my Patio)
The Trilogy...although the third book is barely more than cover-art and an outline (and dedication) at this point. With Spring only days away...it is doomed to the writer's trunk.
It will resume as next Winter's project...
