Yarn Along ~ New Many Coloured Blanket

I am making a new multicoloured

'crazy quilt' yarn blanket!

The first one I made is still very much loved!

I am going to give this one, if all goes well,

to the three brothers in Ottawa,

of whom my godson is the youngest.

Ravelry here.

I am also working on the beginnings of a simple

quilt for my godson.

I will be seeing his Mother in August D.V. and

hope to bring this with me

so it is ready for Christmas...

(the savings on shipping will be substantial!) 

*

I hope to be at quilt class again today 

and get some ideas on how to do this quilt top!

My godson loves Thomas the Tank Engine

and I am excited to use this fabric! 

*

As for reading, 

I am on a real Little House on the Prairie kick

right now (first time reading them!)

and just finished Farmer Boy.

*

The themes of patience, obedience, not speaking quickly,

and hard work... not to mention what an intact

family looks like, and learning lots about how

farming used to be done,

it was such a delightful read!

What are you reading and creating? 

Yarn Along with us! 

{celebrating moments in life} ~Kindness of Mr. Husband & My Godson

The other day Mr. Husband and I cabbed home

together after meeting at the farmer's market:

he bought me three roses. :)

The other day my sister-friend and I were

video chatting and I talked with my godson

for a bit too.

He's four; he said after a bit to his Mom:

Mom, now is the time I can play,

and so got down to go play.

*

(He loves Thomas the Train Engine;

you should of saw earlier this year when I gave him

some of the DVDs featuring Thomas and

his eyes got all BIG and happy

at this unexpected gift. :) )...

I have a feeling he was off to play with a train,

or maybe the swords that his Mother bought 

for these 3 munchkins for Christmas from

Mr. Husband and I...

*

Just before my godson went off to play,

I had just been telling him about how I held him as 

a baby when he was baptised and how I held him

for his First Communion the day afterwards. 

His comment to that was of course,

I am a big boy now and go to Communion By My Self ;)...

*

As he went to play,

I told him that I loved him

and he said,

I love you too and went off to play.

It was so special! 

The first time he said he loved me.

His Mom and I both knew it and were so happy for that

dear moment.

*

I am already dreaming of a quilt I hope to make for him,

featuring Thomas the Tank Engine...!!! :)
