Congratulations, Songbird! I share your joy. My first grandchild arrived in April -- a girl! I made the purple and green quilt pictured to the left for her. We'll have to keep in touch and compare notes.

Thanks, ladies. I am truly delighted and praying that i can crochet something cute for the little one. I used to crochet such darling sets for babies when mine were infants and toddlers... and my son is hoping I can do the same for his child. I must confess I have not crocheted for years now, busy with writing, speaking, singing (not to mention my CTS).
I am definitely needing to work on a song for the little one too!!
Sandy, your quilt is beautiful! I don't even have a sewing machine anymore. But I used to enjoy sewing years ago, when I did have one. Let's see what the Lord will have me do. My friends have a "Welcome to the club" greeting when they learn of the news!

Songbird,
Your joy is contagious, thanks for sharing your good news with us. I LOVE the idea of a song for the baby.
I always sang made-up songs for my kids, and I sang them with gusto, even though I'm not too great at carrying a tune. I figured they wouldn't complain, and they didn't. At least not until they were teens. And then of course, we went through that inevitable period when nothing I did was right.
Anyway, I still remember the special song I made up for my son. It was sung to the tune of "Guinevere" from Camelot. The refrain went, "Zachary, Zachary, To the rescue, Zachary..." I sang it whenever he needed calming or to have his fears eased. I found it really was effective.
Though not something I had ever been taught in any of my collegiate child development classes. LOL!

Great experience, Anne. We don't turn "Grandparents" for no reason. The experience in life has taught us many lessons others are still trying to figure out and are not ready to grasp!
It must be a challenge to be a grandparent, but one I will face cheerfully!
I am already collecting (in my mind) those Bible songs I used to sing to my little ones! Songs I learned as a child that have definitely impacted my relationship with my Creator. Simple words with profound impact til this day!

You're right, Yonuh. I'm not concerned about forgetting but with my carpal tunnel syndrome (my hand hurts) it will be a challenge!

I wanted a Precious Moments theme baby shower but had trouble finding figurines and all the necessary items, not to mention the price of each one. But I created the party favors, the centerpieces, the banner, the invitations... and still had a precious moments baby shower my friends loved! And so did my DIL. I am thankful to God for the ideas he gave me. It took a while to put it all together but it was worth it!
I did buy her the crib set(comforter, fitted, etc) and receiving blankets. Plus I did my first ever Diaper Cake (Precious Moments, of course!). It was so much fun, although it was a real challenge, for I designed it to be a square (to go along with the centerpiece PM blocks I designed. I've also started a crochet blanket which still requires many hours. ( I have to do a little each time. We still have about a month for the due date so I pray I can get it done on time. Thanks for the link, Anne. Many good ideas there! We played three games I had never seen before and my guests had a great time!

You make me feel so old. I have a granddaughter graduating HS this year, then one the year after. Counting these two, all of mine are already out of grade school. Congrats, on the new babies.
