Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Lowe

Adam and those big brown eyes that Jamie just melts in. Serious moments and fun giggly moments, an equal blend of each makes for some good lovin'.

The couple traveled to Victoria, BC for their wedding/honeymoon. They had a day of fun, walking around the waterfront and through the shops, followed by their wedding day and then two days for a honeymoon.

Just the two of them on their own. As Adam said when they called me, "the day was all about just us". What a beautiful way to start their life as husband and wife....

Lori Hawrychuk of Lori Hawrychuk Photography, recommended by my friend Arlene, has taken amazing photos of these two, capturing wonderful memories to last a lifetime. Thanks so much Lori!!!

More pics to follow of the party I threw for Jamie and Adam when they got home - lots of fun had by all!

Countdown begins..

My daughter will be married in three days - oh my goodness! She and her fiance are going away on their own, and coming home for a party for family and friends on Saturday. I've been using my event planning skills and my craftiness preparing for this one. I made a couple goodies for Jamie (earrings and birdcage veil). And the party favours are done - filled with jelly belly.

Christmas is done...

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I had my dear kids here for brunch and we had a great day, lots of laughs and good food.

We all got Olympic Mittens from Grama and Granpa Cady - Jamie and I were game to wear ours but we had to convince Adam to join the picture. Derek insisted on just being the cameraman. So - we got this funny picture and were albe to send it to the grandparents to show we love our new mittens!!!

We had a theme this year for gifts amongst us it seems - all had to do with babies and soldiers, go figure!

My son the soldier made this Build-a-Bear for Jamie and Adam's little unborn boy. Of course, his name is G.I. Joe. Derek said he felt like a bit of a creep going into that store - hehehe.

Jamie and Adam wrote a book for the baby bean, called "My Uncle Wears Combat Boots". This book was Derek's gift from them - one copy for Derek and another for the baby.

The theme continues... I found a cute little camo fleece set for the baby. Derek got me a custom Starbucks card with "Grandma Heather" and a baby carriage on it. Jamie and Adam got me a wall tile that says "Grandma's make life more beautiful".

Yes, this baby is bringing lots of joy to his parents, his uncle and of course his Grandma long before he's even born!

more yarn

I finished the last scarf commissioned for Christmas last night - wahoo! I have one more to make for Sharon, but that can be after Christmas. Here are the latest confections. So now that I've got my name out there and used up some of my stash, the cost gets more realistic. I practically gave these away at the show for $10; I really need to sell for $20.
