Ask anyone at C&T, and they will tell you I love my grandkids. I am sure my coworkers are getting tired of my talking about them, but the kids are just so cute and so much fun to be with.
As someone who sews and quilts and knits, I make things for them—I just can’t stop myself. They have quilts, teddy bear clothes, sock monkeys, and sweaters all made by Grandma. The best part is they aren’t old enough yet to think what I make for them is dorky. I know that time will come, but in the meantime, I am knitting and sewing away.
This last winter I decided I wanted to knit them hats. Each hat needed to be different and show the child’s particular interest. So for the little girl who loves yellow, I made a yellow hat with a pink flower on top. For the little girl who loves light blue and stars, I made a blue hat with yellow star buttons all over it. The toddler loves “choochoos” but he got an elephant hat because I don’t know how to knit a train engine. It was fun for me and for the kids. I put the tremendous love I have for them into the stitches and somehow they sense that.

Aw, that is so sweet.
They are darling with their little rosey cheeks and sweet smiles. There is nothing better than grandma love. Keep telling everyone about it. It sets a good example. We need lots of good grandmas in this world. :) I bet they just love you to pieces for being so awesome!
