A New Granddaughter!
Annabelle Miriam was born today at 3:54 PM to our son Jason and his wife Shannon. Mommy and baby are wonderful and Dad - a Pediatrician - says she's just perfect. I sketched and painted the waiting nursery when I visited several weeks ago - and took her the new babyquilt and matching musical pillow. This week I made her a really soft pink bear and will take it for our visit next weekend.
There is a music box in this shadow applique pillow.
This bear is so soft - I hope she loves it!

Congratulations.

Shirley,
Is there anything you CAN'T do??? Casey was just talking about you this week and she was so right about how accomplished you are! Congratulations on your new granddaughter. My eldest daughter is expecting, so I'm especially interested in hearing about your large, happy family!

Wonderful to see how many other skills you have besides drawing/painting. I am still only halfway through crocheting the blanket I was intending to wrap round my daughter when we first brought her home from the hospital ... that was 19 months ago! :D
Congratulations on the new addition to your family!

Congratulations, Shirley - I'm so excited for you! How many is that now? What a lucky little girl she is too, having you as her grandmother.
And I love the sketch of all her bed, etc. that you did.

Congratulations! Have been catching up on your blog ... great bookbinding instructions by the way, especially the trick of using a phone book :)
