Nana? Me? I HAVE NEWS!

So on Sunday, Father's Day, we went to church, had a nice lunch with the kids and promptly sent them away for the week. Nothing drastic mind you, they went to Knoxville, Tn, for mission work with the youth group. They'll be home tomorrow with all their stories and how much fun they had. I'm really looking forward to it. Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life. My children are the BEST kids in the entire world! Aren't they all?

My oldest lives in Berea, Ky. Her birthday is tomorrow and she'll be 22. Wow! It really doesn't feel like she should be 22 years old! Is that her news? I bet that's what you're thinking .... well NO! It isn't. My daughter getting another year older is probably news for her but not for you guys.

Are you ready?

I'm going to be a GRANDMOTHER !!!!!!

Let me admit something right now .... I'm too young to be "Mamaw". That's what I called my grandmothers. But, when I was young, they were old and the name fit. I am too young to be a mamaw. Lol. My husband thinks Nana is a better term for me. I'm good with Nana. I can be Mamaw when I'm a "great" grandmother! (we pronounce that "mom-aw" here in West Virginia, just so you know)

So what does that mean for my crafting world? Well, duh. I'm looking at ALL kinds of baby things! Of course! Blankets, mittens, booties, cocoons, toys, mobiles, and on and on and on!
*deep breath* I'm calm, I am calm. Maybe if I keep chanting it I really will get calm. What do you think?

In the meantime, while I try to calm that flock of butterflies in my gut, I will browse the baby sections of Ravelry, Pinterest, Craftsy and of course Wal-Mart. And I will dream of new baby and pray for a safe and healthy pregnancy for my daughter.

I hope you have a great week and that many blessings come your way. I got one and s/he will be here in February.

Much love,
