Congratulations to you both on your first grandchild. I understand being smitten. When our first granddaughter was born they lived near Annapolis Md. but we lived in west Mi. We could stand it for two weeks after a visit. At three weeks it got hard and at four weeks we couldn’t stand it and had to make a trip. We would drive straight through on a three day weekend, or even two. I had to fight my husband off to have first crack at her.
Grandkids bring you to a level of love that you never could have imagined. I tear up every time I hear the song “Better Place” by Rachel Platten when thinking about my grandkids - it’s the perfect grandma song! Lean hard into grandma life and drink in every joyful moment you are about to experience. Congratulations…
How PRECIOUS!!! He is a beautiful little teddy bear. Congratulations! I’m a Great-grandma to another little guy who will be 1 year old in January. Enjoy that grandson!
Haya. Wonderful makes 😀& there it is. . . tossing a mug rug, Jen you are just soooooo funny 🤣🤣Awwww your grandson is just the sweetest, huge congratulations to mom & all your family, blessings 💙Thanku 'sew' much for sharing 🪡🧵
Congratulations Grandmom!! He is just precious!!! One year I made a vests for my three sons and one for my son-in-law. Purchased beautiful wool fabric (each one was a different color and print.). And totally lined. And gorgeous buttons. Well…they were not appreciated at all. Lesson learned…my tastes and theirs are NOT the same. I also had twins. Boys. They were born 4 days after my daughter turned 4 and their brother was 2 1/2. Needless to say sometimes it was a bit overwhelming, but I managed and they are all grown with children of their own. I wouldn’t change a moment of those times. ❤️
Congratulations Jen…I’m so happy for you and your family…..grandchildren are the best and the joy they bring…..I have 7 yr old twins and yes Mom needed help at the start….it’s so much fun knowing what to do …have a great time!
Congratulations on becoming a grandma, enjoy every moment…..Thanks for sharing your videos. Best wishes from the other side of the world, Australia…..💐
Congratulations on the birth of your wonderful grandson. May your daughter and family, as well as you will be blessed with eternal health. You, as always look happy. The gift I received that was not well received was when my husband (was our first Christmas-43 years ago) bought me a greenish/yellowish pantsuit-it was t.h.e. ugliest polyester suit that was three sizes too LARGE. He thought he’d bought me the best gift ever..not. Gifts got a little better after that.😅
I don’t sew very often for my husband either. He just doesn’t care about clothes at all. I use my energy to make things that I love. That sweet baby boy! He will have changed when you see him again, they change so quickly, it’s hard to keep it. I know you will enjoy your time with them.
I made a wool tweed jacket for my SIL. I'm sure she never wore it but she never said anything. It probably ended up in a charity shop. I made a knit hat for her, as she had gone through chemo for stage 4 breast cancer. I gave it to her for Christmas. She immediately put it on and proclaimed she would wear it. She never told us that she knew at that point her battle would soon be over. She passed away at the beginning of the following February. She was always kind when she received my gifts. Loved seeing your makes Jen. Congratulations on the birth of that precious little boy. ♥
See,,, nothing ,,, I mean NOTHING touches your heart like a grand baby! I’m so proud for you and again, welcome to the grandmother club. BTW, I’m Kiki! Thru the years I have made things,,,, matching pj’s, stockings, ya know stuff, and still,,, no thanks, no hate it, or no thank you. So what do I do??? I kept making stuff! One day, yes One day I Will Make Em Happy! LOL. I know I won’t,, but it makes me happy.
You kept me tickled this week. LOVE the photo of little Wesley! He will be the love of your life. You got alit sewn! Im inspired to make some cardigans. But…. Got some shelves to put up this week.keep those baby pictures coming while you are away!!! Love you!!!!
1)Congrats on your sweetest love ever! Your arms will ache whenever you leave him! 2) my sister who passed away a year ago received several gifts from me over the decades. I sewed several items for her and my nieces gave them to me when they went through her things. My poor sister never let on that she didn’t like or couldn’t wear the items lol! They were like new! I love her for that! 3) Hope…the word is everywhere when you look for it, in everyday conversations. One of my granddaughters was named Hope, she passed away at age 4. We love to hear her name! 4) I have four grown daughters (and two sons) and my opinions are not always appreciated! 5) btw, my oldest are twins also--boy/girl. One baby is a breeze after multiples!
That beautiful little face, aww I love the joy in you when you talk about him❤. No wonder you are in love he is gorgeous 👶🏻. Jen, we all need shimmy in our lives 😂. I love that Tilton top, I have made a New Look that is very similar but it doesn't have pockets 😮, I wish it did but it's a far more basic make. I think the fabric is better for the Harper, it couldn't possibly to be with the pattern 😉😂. I have a couple of things in that grey knit, I just love it. Your mug rug turned out so well and I completely get your frustration with quilting, it's so lovely to go back to clothing. In your words.. man you have cranked out the projects this week😅. Time to go back and give that gorgeous baby some snuggles now 😊. Xx
Bonjour Jenn, congratulations ! Granchildren are 'un cadeau de la vie'! My husband and I are over the moon with ours... Aiden is 9 and Kara is 7 in a few days.... best thing ever! Félicitations! Ton amie Christine 🇨🇦
My mother in law came and stayed when my husband went back to work after having my son and it was nice to know I wasn’t completely on my own. We all make it up for our first child but then when we have all the knowledge the kids aren’t babies anymore! Enjoy every moment of your trip - you’ll need a vacation when you return 😃
Congratulations on that sweet baby boy ! Sewing for babies is my favorite. I know it is not the big 4 but Peekaboo patterns for babies is my favorite. My daughter is having a girl next month yay
I LOVE that floral fabric you used on that crepe top - it's beautiful and the shimmy makes it perfect!! That Tilton shirt looks like the 8640, I can see why you love it! Ooh - hoodie dresses are my favorite! I've made a few and wear them ALL the time!! Look at you, coming over to the indie darkside 🤣 OMG - I'm obsessed with view A from the McCall's 9388 - that is totally my style! I wonder if I can find an indie equivalent.... I can't wait to see your colorblocked sweatshirt - love the combo of fabrics. Your mug rug is adorable - I might have to make one of those. Wesley is just adorable 💕 Have a great weekend Jen xo
Lovely makes. Donna Jordan from JordanFabrics has amazing video how to do binging on quilts. Your grandson is adorable My mum never liked anything I made for her. We have odd relationship. It used to make me sad but now I come to realisation that some people will never appreciate time and love we put into things. I still do things for her but nothing that requires too much time. Your daughter is lucky that you can drop everything and come and help out
I know that what I make for the kids are not necessarily going to be well received. But, my husband likes it when I make things for them. So, I do. This year was pillowcases. Last year, aprons. Next year, probably bowl cozies.
congratulations, very cute and sweet baby. It goes way to fast mine are now 18,15, and 12 and I was telling the other grandma last week when she sent me a photo of me and her taking the (little) kids to the veterans parade years ago, I told her I miss those little kids so much they were just the cutest.
That’s little boy is just so gorgeous! I had a little tear when you spoke about him, it’s so beautiful to see how excited y’all are for his arrival, so so lovely xx
What a sweet baby boy! 😍 Congratulations!...Wowser, I just rediscovered that MCALLS 9338 in my stash.🤩 It makes me happy to see that you have it too. I haven't used it yet, so I'm looking forward to seeing yours all made up. Happy sewing!
Congratulations on the grandson...I can say that was the easiest thing I ever did being a grandma...there was no learning curve as in being a wife and mom. Plus they go home afterwards and you get that breathing room again. Both of my children were born on the 23rd of the month and my son in love was also. It seems to be a good number for our children. Enjoy that little one because they grow up so fast...mine are 19 and 15 and they are not too eager to be at MeMe's now.
I love the Tilton ladies! I don’t like everything they design but I like several! Pretty things! The Gap patterns: so unique during the time of slightly larger clothes. I need those now😳 lol! Cheryl
Congratulations Gramma! Keep going on the crafts. I try sewing the cozy bowls, and they don't get perfect either-so don't feel like the Lone Ranger on that. I just keep trying-I like things to be perfect too.
Just hearing you talk about your new grandson makes me want to tear up because I can just feel your happiness and I've never been a grandmother and I'm 67! So happy for you and your daughter! I enjoyed seeing the things you made and your patterns. 🤗
Congratulations on the arrival of your new grandson! I’m not surprised you fell in love. I love all your makes and I’m tickled you made a mug rug from my tutorial! Your corners are beautiful. 😊
Congratulations on being a new grandmother. Little Wesley is precious. Enjoy the time with him. I haven’t really gave anything people didn’t like and haven’t received anything I didn’t like.
Congratulations on the birth of Wesley James. He is absolutely precious!!! Being a grandma is the best thing that could ever happen to me and it's a lot more fun. I knitted many hats for my grandson that our daughter just loves--a turkey leg hat, minion mittens, and my grandson loves mukluks. Enjoy that new grandbaby. Oh, they grow up WAY TOO fast, but each stage of their life is wonderful. Sometimes it is so difficult to watch them grow up, BUT each stage of life is a miracle. Love, love, love being a grandma. You will too.
Oh congrats on being a grandma, you're going to love it! We are together in this, as my daughter had a baby girl Nov 14, so I've been staying with them and helping out as well. It sure brings back the memories, but also makes me glad I don't have to raise children all over again at age 69 ( been there done that) I found I sure don't have the energy levels I did when raising my own!!
So , so happy for you and the two new parents. Babies, especially grandbabies are so very special. That was such a cool and smart idea for Thanksgiving meal, I'll have to remember that one. My one sister gave me a applicated rooster cardigan one year. I absolutely hate and are terrified of chickens and especially roosters Since we live on a farm with cows and horses she thought I would like it
Congratulations to you both on your first grandchild. I understand being smitten. When our first granddaughter was born they lived near Annapolis Md. but we lived in west Mi.

Wesley James is so beautiful. Enjoy your time caring for him and your daughter. Congratulations.
Congratulations on your precious grandson!!! He is adorable!!! I love the fabric you used on Butterick 6455, love the shimmy fringe! 😍
Thanks so much! He is the sweetest!
Have a lovely time caring for your daughter and grandson.

Hi Jen, congrats grandma, mommy and daddy and all the family.
Congratulations Jen! I’m expecting my first grandson in February ~ the blessings continue!!!
You'll fall in love!
Congratulations on the birth of your wonderful grandson. May your daughter and family, as well as you will be blessed with eternal health. You, as always look happy.

I don’t sew very often for my husband either. He just doesn’t care about clothes at all. I use my energy to make things that I love. That sweet baby boy! He will have changed when you see him again, they change so quickly, it’s hard to keep it. I know you will enjoy your time with them.
Oh my goodness! Wesley is so cute! Those little cheeks just beg to be pinched! Thank you for sharing!
Or kissed! A lot!
Congratulations on your new arrival ❤ ! Loved all your makes , you get so much done ! Bridget
