They have chosen to not know the gender of my new little grandchild so my gift to them must be white. Gina also wants the new nursery to be white.
I have been making little gifts for the new baby and one of them is a soft bath set.
I bought a pack of 8 ready made wash cloths and simply cut them into 4 baby bibs and 4 hand wash cloths. Then crocheted around each with a delicate fillet lace pattern.
As a grandma I'll tell you it's hard living so far from my grandchildren but we do keep in touch as much as possible. I'm not sure if I'll mail my gifts just yet, we are still talking of my flying to Gina for the birth. I love the idea of not knowing the gender of our babies until birth, it gives the family such a surprise, especially this family.
With each stitch I make it brings a warm smile to my heart.
2013 is going to be a good year, indeed.

That little set is adorable.
I am expecting three new grandchildren in the summer (a set of twins!) and I love what you've done. How do you start the crocheted edge? I'd like to try this.
Congratulations on your coming grandchild! What a gorgeous gift set! I'm sure they will be so aware of your love for your family every time they use it. Just lovely...

Thank you for linking up with Southern Somedays!!!
I love your gift to your new precious grandchild! I think handmade is always best and most meaningful. I like to imagine that maybe one day that baby's baby will use those same sweet, soft things! Sending up a prayer for your daughter and her sweet family!
Happy New Year! May 2013 bring only blessings & joy!!!
Your work is beautiful, Sandy. It's wonderful when baby #4 gets treated as special as baby #1!

I love the idea of a white nursery!
Congratulations on a new grandchild, boy or girl!
Beautiful work. Our daughter is expecting her second, this one will be a girl so I'm making pink items. They didn't know the gender of their first but chose to know this time.
Congratulations! I'm sure those beautiful gifts will be cherished. I hope you get to visit your daughter and grandbabies.
these are so lovely! what a lucky baby to have you as Grandma. (I'm thinking etsy shop, actually!)

How precious and congratulations! How exciting...a new baby. Think of all the cuddles. Thank you for sharing this at the Make it Pretty Monday party at The Dedicated House. Hope to see your prettiness again on Monday. Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
Oh WOW!!! I didn't know she was pregnant!!! How exciting!! I love those bibs too...typical you...just adorable! A big congratulations from all of us..hugs and kisses to an amazing Aunt, Mother, Sister, Grandmother..love you..
Such lovely gifts. They will be treasured and I know you treasure the little one.
I was just speaking to hubby earlier telling him how much I miss my granddaughter complaining that I had not seen her since Sunday, and he corrected me. He said "You babysat for her Monday night!" She slept half of it though!
Hugs!
What an exciting time for all of you!
And what a Grand gift!
I love when people recognize births when there are other siblings. It seems sometimes number 3, 4, 5, etc. get overlooked in the commotion!
These are quite gorgeous!
Thank you for sharing them with us!
A+
