Hazel Joelle has Arrived!

Hannah and Jeremy have announced the birth of Hazel Joelle!  Born last Wednesday on September 23rd (the date my mother picked since her bday is August 23) at 7 lbs. 12 oz and 19.5 inches long.  

We are calling me Gramala (nod to Kamala since my name is Angela) and Kathy is Bumpa.  We are in love with her already!

Did a little mystery sewing with BJ on Saturday.  All ready for the next clue next month.  Sunday I facebook chatted BJ, Andrea and Ruthie and cut and sewed three soft books for Hazel (and future grands).  I had never made these but someone gifted me five panels so I watched some youtube videos ahead of time and sewed them up.  (Today I have started on the other two--one of which is a double but might as well get them done!)

I am so over the moon that Hazel is a girl...I have dreamed of having a granddaughter that will remember me when I am gone as I do my Grandma Char.  She shaped me so much and I want a chance to do that with my grands.  As of now they hope to have another in about two years so with any luck I will have a few to get close to!

BJ finished up this top while we were sewing and then worked on her mystery blocks.  She is waiting on more of her neutral to finish the blocks.
