I Spy for No 2 Grandson

Hi everyone,

Something different today.  When our first grandson was born, our daughter-in-law‘s mother wanted to make his baby quilt.  I had just resumed working again.  My comment was, he will obtain many quilts over the years, we don’t need to fight over the first.  

However I did want to make a quilt for him so I made an I Spy quilt that he could use at our place. In those days our second bedroom had our son’s queen size bed in it. So now we also use that I Spy quilt on our bed. 

That bedroom has change and currently holds two single beds. So this one is a single bed quilt.

I started this one a year or two earlier. Grandson No 2 was a little younger and he loved Thomas The Tank, Paw Patrol, Cars, only to name a few. In two or three years his taste has changed.  So I don’t think this quilt is revered has much as previous quilts are.  He has one made with dinosaurs all over it, at home, oh well I cant get it right every time. 

I am confined to the house at moment.  I love his quilt and using it daily.  It has a polar fleece back so very warm on a cold day.

I hope you like something different today.

Blessings

Hi everyone,

When I was a child my dad made us a canoe.  I am the middle child and a girl so I don’t remember using the oars much. My older brother, who is 4 years older, handle the oars. We lived about 10 kms from the beach and would spend most weekends in the water. Many, many fond memories were created. 

 

As we got older we outgrew the canoe and Dad made a speed boat. As we continued to grow the speed boat got bigger and better.  Dad just kept adding parts to it.  Such beautiful memories.

This card brings back those memories.  The many jetties that we walked therefore the splinters in our feet.  There is a story there but for another day. The scary jetties with more holes that boards, at least to a little 3-4 year old anyway. The memories of sitting in a boat fishing or even the smell of freshly caught fish.  Oh the memories. 

This card was created using the ‘By the Dock’ stamp set.  I used Soft Suede, Balmy Blue and Whisper White Cards stock.  I used Soft Suede and Granny Apple Green Blends. I also used a retired embossing folder called Woodgrain. 

I hope you enjoy this card.
