Oh, what fun Machel! I began crocheting an afghan as soon as I found out my first and only blood granddaughter was coming. The kids wouldn't tell me girl or boy so I made two crocheted ribbons to weave through it. I know how wonderful that feeling is. I made her two quilts, sleepers, bibs, new outfits after she was born. Oh what fun I had.
Enjoy the time and the shopping! It's the best feeling in the world!
Hugs,
Sharon
