I finally was able to find time to knit something for my little boy. My first attempt was too small(guess I miss those tiny days) and I ended up donating it to a newborn at our homestudy agency. This really makes me miss my Mom, she died a bit over 7 years ago of breast cancer. She was a fantastic knitter, could crochet those fancy tablecloths, and was a fantastic seamstress. Plus, she was a terrific Grandma and Mom. The kind who spoils and never says anything bad about her grandchildren, she would have been the one cheerleading the adoption! I love my stepmom and was super glad when Dad remarried, but she is just a totally different kind of gal. She came and cleaned my house like crazy when my son first came home but was a career woman and had different skills. At least my sister has some of her kid creations for her children that get passed down to me. When she was ill, she helped me start a blanket for my someday children, I have been having a hardtime finishing it. I was able to finish one I was currently doing but when she got too sick she did some of the one I was working on(I do far simpler things) and when I gave it to my sister on the birth of her son we cried, her needlework was much tighter than mine and you could tell which was her part. As the holidays approach it is always bittersweet, not as hard but always a wish that she were her, she worked hard at making them special for us....

Love the hat..it's so cute and colorful. Your mom would be proud!!
I am impressed! My mother is the seamstress/counted cross stitch/ crochet/ quilting nut. I don't have the talent or the patience for such things. Your mother must have been a very special lady, she certainly raised a very compassionate and caring daughter. Michael is getting SO big. Anara is WALKING everywhere. She had her first unofficial Thanksgiving dinner this evening with our Life Group. The whipped sweetpotate casserole was the favorite! (She has her mommy's sweet tooth :)
