Thank you thank you thank you so much for the wonderful comments and emails that I received from so many of you on the birth of our beautiful granddaughter Ellie. Your sweetness touched my heart in such a special way with your kind words and wishes. What a blessing bloggy friends are, your the best :).
So what's been going on here - well there's been a few trips to Fargo as you would imagine to hold this precious bundle. We celebrated a couple of birthdays - mine included. What an amazing birthday gift she was. We are loving this Grandma and Grandpa gig lol.
She is coming this weeked for a visit - oh and bringing her parents along as well lol. I look forward to lots of cuddle time with her while they enjoy a little snowmobiling this weekend. We had a heck of a storm come through 2 weeks ago plus little snow systems since then - that will give the kids lots of white stuff to ride on.
During the storm Mr. Farmhouse had to shovel out Ms. Cami's little area where she does her business - you know when your a "low rider" that becomes a big issue during a storm like this lol. First he had to get out of the garage
Gosh it was pretty outside
Hey Momma didn't raise no fool - I stayed inside lol
I bet she's thinking - "what the heck - where do I go" lol.
Don't worry - it's under control.
I'm starting to get my Easter/Spring decorations out and getting some things in shape. The new couch and chair are finally here - YAHOOOOO - but I wasn't happy with the ottoman - it needed a little fixing so hopefully the wait will be short to get it back. Now I can move on to getting the room in shape.
This past week a group of fiber friends got together for a little lunch and sewing. A couple of show and tells from that day - a sweet little springy quilt
This was from a class she taught on hand piecing
A couple of finished quilt tops that were "freebies" on Temecula's blog
I've been doing a little stitching on a project that I will have to offer you next week as a kit if your interested.
Watch for that earlier next week. I'm going to be stepping back into the "wool business" on a much smaller basis than before when I had both the website and the brick and mortar store. I will share more in the near future as I fine tune it.
Mr. Farmhouse and I have been working on a big project that's coming to the Farmhouse very soon - I will share more as it gets closer - don't ya love how I keep ya in the dark lol. Keeps you coming back to check and see what's new :). Don't worry you shouldn't have to wait long. It's going to be so much fun and I'm really excited.
Ok I think I will sign off and get ready for my sweet little princess - she should be here soon.
Until Next Time
Fun post...I love seeing your precious grandbaby...she's so beautiful.
Grandparent time is so wonderful...we have all age grandchildren from 23 on down to 6 months and enjoy each of them.
Love that snow - I know we've had enough but the kind in the picture is so much fun.

My goodness what a beautiful grand darlin'. I hope you made some hot chocolate for Mr. Farmhouse. That's a lot of snow! Dolly would have loved to play in that. Thanks for sharing the quilt photos.

She looks a real little poppet, this time next year she will be toddling around and chasing after Ms Cami .
Enjoy your weekend of cuddles and looks like Mr farmhouse could do with some help digging you out.

So good to see your new post! We love being grandparents too - but we're getting greedy and think it's time for another one since our little guy is 2-1/2 now - enjoy!

How sweet little Miss Ellie is! Enjoy your time with her, I am banned from my precious grand-baby as our home has a flu bug that just won't go away!! So for now I have locked myself up in my sewing room to keep busy...

What an adorable little girl. You are very blessed.

Ellie is beautiful! I had to laugh when you referred to Ellie coming soon and by the way, her parents are coming too! We said (and still do) that M. was coming or we were going to see M...never mind, her parents!! And our "baby" is one month away from 16 years old! My, how quickly times flies by. Enjoy every moment because it will bew gone in the blink of an eye. We love being grandparents!!
