This little girl was born last Saturday and is ready to join in on the weekend festivities. Everyone is thrilled with her – especially her big sisters.
This little one turned 5 years old several days later and requested “ a dress” for her birthday. I had fun creating this for her…..complete with a little purse to match. She loved it.
We have a big 4th of July party here to celebrate our Independence so I have spent some time getting ready for the festivities.
New beanbags for the corn hole game….
and some bunting flags for decorating…..
While I was on the red, white and blue theme I sewed up some HSTs for a flag quilt that one of the grandsons casually mentioned that he would like for his college dorm bed this fall.
28 done….62 to go!!!
We will have houseguests for the next six days so I will take the time to wish all of those in the U.S.A. a wonderful and safe Independence Day.
Awwww. Nothing like a baby to complete the holiday. How many grands does that make for you Mary?

ReplyDeleteHappy 4th! We have nothing planned. Wish we could come visit you, sounds like fun!
Pugs and kisses,

Congratulations - she's gorgeous! I'd love another grandbaby, but so far none on the horizon. Really need to get some banners and table runners made for next year's festivities. No time this year, in fact pretty much have to close up the sewing room for weekend guests (little ones) that will be sleeping in there. Have a wonderful 4th!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all on the new arrival! She is a cutie, just like the rest of your grands.
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with that little dress and matching purse! I haven't done any garment sewing in ages.
Don't you just love the 'subtle' requests for our quilts, it thrills my heart.
Your place is looking quite festive for the 4th. Hope you all have a wonderful and safe holiday.
Congratulations on the new baby- they are all cuties. Bet she loved her dress & purse. Happy 4th.
ReplyDeletePrecious, precious baby! And what an adorable dress - I know she loved it! blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteHappy Independence Day , your new granddaughter is gorgeous and so is her big sister :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful little girl! I know the family is thrilled and so blessed. You confessed in one of your previous posts that you had always had a problem with "being still" and now I understand why you can do so much! You accomplish more in a day than I do in a week! Have a wonderful time with your family for the 4th.......I was unable to get the weekend off but just sent my youngest off to represent our family at Mom's for the weekend.......Hugs
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful family, Mary !!! The little one is soooo lovely <3

You've been so busy making your home a place for loved ones to gather and celebrate the good times - Enjoy!!!!

What precious little ones!!!!! It's great to watch them grow!
ReplyDeleteYour family grows lovelier with each new little grand baby. She's darling and what little girl wouldn't love a dress and bag to match! Corn hole? And then I remembered you're from the midwest. :o)
ReplyDeleteThe decor is adorable and welcome to the new baby.
ReplyDeleteOh, such a sweet baby...she's beautiful. Congratulations! Love that dress and purse. I need a girl to sew for!
ReplyDeleteHello Mary. What a lovely addition to the holiday. She is a QT! Babies are the best. How nice that you have a holiday to dote on her. Your little dress for her sister is adorable, and I can't wait to watch the progress on your flag quilt. Hope you had a wonderful 4th!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! Hope your 4th was super fun. I just learned that cornhole game and think my hubby needs to build one. Love your festive bunting.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a beautiful new addition to your family! I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July with so much to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteThe dress and matching purse you made for your other granddaughter are lovely! I'm sure she's going to be wearing them a lot.
I smiled when I saw that blue fabric with the red and white streamers and the red with blue and white stars in your bunting flags. I picked up a 1/2 yard of each of those on sale at Joann's to make a new 4th of July table topper.
Oooooohhhh! What a precious new sweetie to love! All your grandchildren are so beautiful. I can see how the dress and matching pocketbook would have been a bug hit Mary! It looks like you sure know how to make the 4th a very fun day. Enjoy your visitors!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a new granddaughter, Mary! I love love love her facial expression!!!! It is as if she is going to on this world with a storm!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd that outfit is too cute.
I hope you had a great Independence Day weekend - those buntings are festive indeed.
And I love your idea of having "scented thread spools"! :)
Hope you are enjoying your summer still - ours is busy, but I can't complain!
Congratulations on another beautiful grand-daughter! She looks gorgeous! So cute for the bigger sister to gets a hold of her baby sister so soon - Hugs Nat
