Explaining and demonstrating every stitch in a fashion that anyone can understand. SO ... if you've been reading long enough you know that people all around me are having babies. Almost everywhere I turn, I run into another lady ready to have a small bundle of joy. But that isn't a complaint by any stretch of the imagination. I absolutely LOVE babies!  My youngest sister is getting ready to have her second in just a few weeks, she's due sometime around my son's high school graduation date at the end of May.
