New to us Van

For our cabinet business my hubby likes to drive a van rather than a truck. Recently we went to Calgary to purchase a used van that was newer than our old one. It was in very good condition. It is even larger than our previous van so we should be able to fit lots of cabinets in there when we need to transport them. We were also pleasantly surprised with the mileage - Hubby had excellent mileage driving all the way from Calgary. Now we also will be able to pull our camper and so there may be an Alaskan trip coming up.

Little Girl Shoes

So about 6 years ago I was visiting my daughter in Vancouver. As part of a shopping trip, we had to take a look in Value Village (my daughter is a Costume Designer) for something for a show. My daughter does not like going to Value Village so there was to be no extra stopping and looking. Well, on our way to the exit, these little hot pink sparkly shoes caught my eye. I just had to have them. All these years I have moved them and looked at them every so often. Almost gave them away a few times but couldn't part with them. So now finally these little shoes will find a new home with my granddaughter-to-be. How precious is that! Yes, we now know it will be a girl arriving in July. Way to go Jenn and Tom!!!!

Baby Nightie

So this is the other item that I have to sew for the Newborn kits. I have to make two of these, two of the t-shirts and a receiving blanket for each kit.
