Yarn Along

I have had a visit from my beautiful granddaughters, so I was able to pass the bag made with the really disappointing ribbon yarn along.  Lily loved it and insisted on taking it everywhere which was a great relief.

Daisy was gifted a crocheted headband complete with daisy which she loved.
 
She actually wore it all day which is unusual she doesn't usually like to have anything in her hair.
 
I have been reading lots of children's books with my granddaughters who have a great love of books.  One of their favourites We're going on a bear hunt, we never tire of it.  Another one is Guess how much I love you by Sam McBratney which is accompanied with squeals of delight.  Reading books together is one of my favourite pastimes along with colouring books whilst chatting.  The joy of being a Granny.
 
I am once again joining in the yarn alongwith Ginny over at Small Things
 
See you soon.

    Lorraine,

    I think your two gdaughters are two of the cutest little girls I have ever seen. They are cherubic and absolutely ADORABLE. What sweet tender faces.

    I am so glad they loved their gifts from you. ♥

    Oh, I just love "Guess how much I love you..." - and so do my children. I was actually given that book once by a boyfriend for Valentine's Day long ago.

    Your grandchildren look gorgeous. And so does your blog; I will certainly be visiting more often :-)

    Simple gifts from the heart are always the best! My kids also have the book, We're Going on a Bear Hunt! It was a gift when my son was born 20 years ago... it has been a favorite of both my kids, read again and again and again! I often think about the times they were curled up next to me while we read it...happy memories!

    Oh oh oh, they are just adorable little girls! I love children's books and reading to the little ones. I used to teach first grade, so it is one of my favorite things too. Being a grandmother is such a JOY! Thanks for visiting. Hugs, Linda

    I love your granddaughter's names! They are precious little girls and it sounds like you have wonderful times together. I have 4 little grandsons - and while they are precious, too, I would love to play dolls and have tea parties!

    They are so adorable. Reading is one of my favorites things to do when my kids were young, and now once again with Little Buddy.
    Hugs to you,

    Your granddaughters are beautiful. So glad you found a use for the ribbon yarn that you didn't like. Children seem to fall in love with anything made especially for them.
