Snow Mail and Dreambird



My Big Little Man wanted to share some of his snow adventures this past week in an e-mail:

Dear Noni,

I love you so much. Here's a picture of me playing in the snow. And one of Roo, too, who was having fun on the porch swing while I made snowballs.

XOXO,
Alex




I have a feeling it won't be too long before he is able to send e-mails all on his own the way he handles his Dad's and Pop Pop's iPads!  Love. love. love these e-mails (and that he shares his Momma's photography skills with his Noni).  Just makes my day!


Then, there was this sweet, sweet Little Angel and her Daddy that popped up on my phone while I was on the way to BSF last night!!  Talk about making a Noni smile!  Thank you, Candice!  She is growing so very fast.



And, slowly the Dreambird is growing.  I've been frustrated by days with no knitting at all.  But, I am loving the way it is turning out.  After the third feather, you really don't even have to look back at the pattern... very intuitive flow. 

Thank you to the Little Mommas who make my days... ;)

Hi Tanna, I just stumbled upon your blog and as a knitter and lover and owner of old historic homes I feel right at home. Can't wait to read more post from you.

Debbie said...

You are a Noni most blessed! Your grandchildren are all just beautiful.
I love the way the Dreambird is coming along. I actually thought of you this past weekend as we looked through the beautiful things my MIL has made and meeting some of her friends from her "Knit Wit" club.

Now, I need to scroll down and see if you decided what to do with the little hoodie hat.

Jennifer {Studio JRU} said...

aww... those little ones are so sweet. loving the dreambird! it is gorgeous!!

Judy S. said...

What cuties! It looks like you've brown-eyed boys and a blue-eyed girl, just like our grand kids. That's going to be an interesting shawl; can you use odds and ends for the feathers?

Pammy Sue said...

I like your colors better than any of the others I saw on Ravelry. I'm a brown lover too. My house is full of them. Very interesting project.

Kelly said...

That is so sweet of them to send you photos and emails like that! Your shawl is looking good.

Tricia Buice said...

Your grandsons and granddaughter are beautiful, beautiful children. Love the knitting project too - so lovely. Little Man's eyes are incredible - just intoxicating :)

Just facing facts... I will never knit like you. :( But, I WILL continue to be inspired! The shawl is amazing and it's always a joy to see the love of your beautiful grands here. :)

I have to say that your grandchildren are so wonderfully photogenic, Tanna! I know how joyful it is to receive frequent photos of the little ones as they grow so fast!

I am over the moon happy to be living close to my grands now. We spent Superbowl time together last night with the boys and this week my grand daughter will be born! We are so excited!

Tanna,
How blessed you are! To have your children think of you! For them to share so much of their everyday lives! Awesome! My! The grandchildren are growing fast!
Oh my gosh! Dreambird is beautiful! I'm so jealous of whomever will wear this!
And I just noticed that I exclaimed everything. :)

There are all so sweet. Big Little Man is growing like a weed :-). His brother is not far behind and your baby grandgirl is already a heart breaker. You have a wonderful family, Tanna
