Working at home- Part 2- and an announcement

 As Dave has been working off the items on my "honey-do" list, I have been having way too much fun sewing.  Above is a small quilt with an adorable alphabet panel on one side, and pieced checker-bord in green and blue on the other.  Below are two receiving blankets and a set of burp cloths.

 And below are a couple more receiving blankets.  All these receiving blankets are double-sided with decorative stitching around the outside, all various sizes, all warm and soft!

I probably should be working on lesson plans to get ahead on my school year, but i have the firm belief that a baby who has a grandmother that is a quilter should NEVER have to purchase blankets!  And so, I am making baby blankets and quilts like crazy, and loving every minute of it.  

But these are not for our little Emma.  These are for Emma's cousin.  Now, she has had Reckman cousins since birth.  But this will be her first Finnegan cousin. We are thrilled that Ben and Elsa are expecting a baby sometime at the end of December or beginning of January.  What a sweet promise of God's goodness at the turning of the year! We can't wait to meet this little peanut, and I am busy making sure he or she will stay warm when they arrive!
