We finally finished going through the old house and I feel like a huge weight has been lifted.
Here’s a new pic of Harper. Isn’t she beautiful ?

nirvana these past few days. Mr. Iknead and I had both our grandbabies over the weekend. The Papoose is fascinated with Baby Harper; she was very nurturing (for an almost two year old), wanted to hold her and help change her, it was really sweet. Now, how it’s going to be when her new brother or sister comes along in October we don’t know, hopefully she’ll be at least a little accustomed to having a baby around.
Do I have the most precious babies on the planet?
We are truly blessed!

at work after being off sick for two weeks. I’ve never, ever been away from work for this long, except for maternity leave many, many, many moons ago. Overall, I’m glad to be back, I mean, really, how much Martha Stewart and Paula Deen can one take? The cause of this unintentional “vacation” was a bad flare of my ischemic colitis, the worst ever. This has been a chronic thing for me, but it’s becoming more and more difficult for me to manage and it’s been taking me a lot longer to bounce back when I do have an attack. But, I’m feeling better, am back at work, and am going to try to take an easy walk when I get home. Looking forward to that.
A couple of hours later….I got an easy 45 minute walk in after work, it felt terrific. I think I’m hooked on endorphins, I can definitely tell a difference in my mood/attitude for the better when I get some exercise.
Here’s a look at my two precious baby girls together for the first time –
To say that the past week has been over the top excitement wise would be putting it lightly. Baby Harper arrived
At 3:30 pm Thursday, 3-29-11, weighing in at 7 lbs. 1 oz. and 19 1/2 in. She gave us quite a scare, dropping her heart rate and was delivered thru emergency c-section. Beautiful and pink and screaming her head off. Baby mama and baby are fine, learning their way around breast feeding and learning the magic of sleep for baby mama and baby daddy. So, it’s all good, right?
Now the second part of the excitement:
Saturday morning, I had a severe flare of an old problem. I have ischemic colitis and got really sick really fast so I got an up close and personal view of the inside of an ambulance. I’m in the hospital still, on full colon rest (for the uninitiated, that means nothing to eat or drink – 5 days now) but the good news is that I get to keep me colon for now. Like I said – it’s all good!
Sorry no baby pics, posting from my iPhone. I’ll get baby daddy to post when he comes to see me today.
It’s all good.

and I have a WIP to post. Actually, I have a number of WIPs, but this one happens to be the most urgent – a blanket for my new granddaughter, Harper, whose estimated arrival date is March 23. Yikes, surely it will be finished before then, right?
Though you have to use your imagination, here is Kelly Brooker’s Reverse Pinwheel Blanket, done in Michael’s Loops and Threads Impeccable, in Soft Rose.
