Good News

 

Good news! Our grandson, Blaise, was born earlier this week! All is well and good. We hope to see him in person within a month and fingers are crossed that the weather cooperates. Now I have to stitch his name and birthdate into that space and get this little sampler framed. We are beyond excited to be first time grandparents. He will be called Grandad and I will be called Grammy. I had a Gram who was formative in my life and so I hope to carry on her legacy.

I continue to read a chapter a week out of Code Girls which is very interesting but dense information. I'm excited if I finish a chapter each day! 

I decided to paint my Valentine cards and I enjoyed this process immensely. My watercoloring habits have slipped away with pursuing other creative pursuits so it was nice to sit at the kitchen table and be creative in a different way.

My dinner below was an approximation of bibimbap. I was missing a few ingredients so I improvised to the best of my ability. All I can say is kimchi is the best and I'll be noodling around the internet for more recipes and hopefully buying all the ingredients the next time around.

The storm we were supposed to be slammed with doesn't seem to be too bad. However we have four more hours to go so there could be some crazy stuff happening. I have electricity so I am happy, oh and I have a new grandson too :)

  15. Congratulations on your new grandson! I think I might want to be a Grammy also. It is one of the names I have been considering. I really like that cross-stitch birth announcment. Did you use the recommended flosses or DMC? I hope you didn't get the predicted weather. We are currently getting freezing rain and a coating of ice. I hope you get to meet Blaise very soon.

  25. Congratulations Grammy. What an interesting name he has. Yay for bibimbap. Yes, you can use any ingredients to make that dish as it means rice with cooked vegetables, generally, and meat is often accompanying it.
