Oh, what have we been up to little pony dear?Ask your Teddy bear friends if we should share.
We are getting ready for a sweet new baby grand daughter!Gathering everything beautiful and lovely to welcome this new
little spirit from heaven into our family. Her name will be Claire.
I have been making baby blankets full of not only batting, but LOVE!
A Vintage looking blanket full of sweet things baby Claire will love.
Baby Nursery animals, to welcome littleClaire with love... and keep her company.
Baby elephants and such, to sing her little songsand tell her stories... that only they can tell!
Blankets to snuggle round her, as soft as can be, whileMom & Dad hug her tight for songs of good night.
I love making baby blankets for my grands!
Sophia...Ella...Brody...Caleb, sweet little cousins.All setting on a quilt I made... to watch the parade with their cotton candy.
~Cloe and her little sister Emry~We will be heading up for Cloe's baptism soon...
we are wondering which will happen first, the new
baby coming, or Cloe's baptism!!!
Brody being so brave with his sparklers!
Our daughter Lisa holding her little niece Sophia...*****
I hadn't made this for awhile, but with Summer here now,
it sounded good to me, being that it is a frozen dessert.
"FROZEN DELIGHT"Set... 1/2 gallon of Vanilla ice cream and
1 small can frozen Pink lemonade out on
the counter and let it thaw til soft. Then whip
these together in a big bowl.
While the above was thawing, crush some Periwinkles
or Vanilla wafers and lay them into a 9x13 pan.
After mixing the ice cream and the frozen lemonade together,pour it all over the crushed crumbs in the pan. Now freeze it.
I didn't show it here, but I like to garnish the top with some ofthe cookie crumbs also, makes it look nice and it is so tasty too!
This is a real good and easy dessert to have on hand instead of just
always having ice cream. I could eat the whole pan on a hot day!
~AND REMEMBER THIS~
~SENDING YOU MY LOVE~

Nothing better than holding your little grandchildren...

Hi Julie, congratulations to you and your family! Your grandchildren are very blessed to have such a loving and talented grandmother. The little baby blankets are precious!
Hello, Thanks for visiting me at A Delightsome Life. I have been checking to see if there's a problem. Can't find one yet - but, will make sure. I hope all is well and you're having a great weekend,
Kathy
Hi Julie,
How wonderful... another granddaughter! The name Claire is lovely! I love the blankets you made, they are all so sweet.
The photos of your grandchildren are all so precious! Thank you for sharing them.
That dessert looks delicious. I am definitely going to give it a try!
Have a wonderful weekend! ☺
I am amazed at all the wonderful thing's you do. My health has been an issue for me the last five or six year's, really longer than that but I would love to be like you....I loved to sew and all that but I have really been struggling. I really marvel at you.I used to make quilt's etc...I hope when I get to the bottom of all my trial's I will be back in swing. I used to go to the Boulder Mountain every summer...when summer was over our teacher would ask all the class what they did for the summer and everyone knew I had been to Boulder Mountain (King's pasture,grass lake)those were wonderful memories of my childhood. I also am a Mormon and so thankful for that.
Thank you for your inspiration.
Love,Debbie:)
congratulations to your growing family :)
Those blankets are precious.
that dessert looks really good too
Mmm...you always post such tasty recipes!
Congratulations on the new Grand!! and another girl.what can be better....we love our granddaughters!!.
Hope you are doing well and I must say you always make the best desserts.....I have missed not reading your blog and I'm glad I finally have some time to myself now to catch up with every one!!
Have a great weekend....SUE
Handmades, babies and food! Can't get any better than that! ;)
Oh, you little silly! :) My Heart of the Home - Rooster and Chicken Party will be August 9th - next month.
I do hope you'll come.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Hi Julie! Well, I'm back with a red face! I went back to see what I had typed and yep, there was "April" as big as can be! Thanks and now I've changed it! What would I do without you?
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Happy News!!! :-)
LOVE all the sweet blankets!! You're an amazing Grandma!!
Hey Julie,
What wonderful baby blankets you have made! Little Claire is already so very loved- what a lucky little girl!
That desert looks wonderful but I am wondering what I could substitute for the pink lemonade- I can´t buy frozen lemonade or any drinks frozen here in Norway and they are just starting to catch on to regular lemonade, let alone pink lemonade!!! So any suggestions?? Sure looked yummy!!!
Enjoy your Saturday night with your wonderful family!!
Hugs from Amy in Norway :-)
What a blessing! A new grandgirl! Sounds like a delicious desert. Mimi
Well Grandma Julie, I typed out a long comment and it disappeared from my screen, so here goes again. That sweet vintage blanket that you made for baby Claire is wonderful, and reminds me of one that I made in college for whenever I had a baby girl. It became Kendra's favorite blankie when she was little. I am sure that blanket will be very special to her from her Grandma. I can't wait to welcome little Claire to the family too.
Your grandmotherly skills put me to shame!
Oh how wonderful to welcome sweet little Claire. A Blessing indeed! Love the vintage look blanket very precious! Your grandchildren are all so sweet! Im sure they love you & Grandpa dearly.
Thank you for the wonderful summer delight recipe too! Easy & yummy...thats what Im talking about!
Julie -- that embroidered quilt is simply GORGEOUS!! Congratulations on the new blessing coming to join your family -- love the name Claire. My frist grandbaby is on it's way (due early 2012) and I am over-the-moon.
Blessings!
Gail
That vintage looking quilt is wonderful. They will cherish those quilts made by grandma for years to come. My mom made one for each of my babies, and they all still have theirs :)
As for the frozen desert...what a great idea! It sounds delicious!
Blessings,
Marcia
just stopping in to say that i am bragging about my grandgirls in my header and wanted you to see them. :))
Those blankets are so beautiful.
You are so talented. A ton of work in each and every one.
Ya for another little sweet grandbaby.
Yours are exceptionally darling.
I love your embroidered elephants. so sweet. And that is one of my fav. recipes too, and yes, I can eat the whole thing in a day!
Congratulations Julie! I am so excited for you! I am so looking forward to my first grandchild - they are such a blessing! Your quilt is beautiful - love the vintage look! That dessert sounds marvelous! So easy! Thanks for sharing and hope all problems with visiting me are in the past - not sure these days - was it the old computer? Who knows! I checked a website that evaluates speed in uploading and that looked fine -
Thanks so much for letting me know!
Have a great day,
Kathy
Congratulations Julie! And Claire is such a beautiful name....
Blessings, Debbie
Julie, grandbaby news is always wonderful! The blanket you made with the animals and rickrack is darling! And the pink lemonade frozen dessert looks deeeelicious!
I too love this name Julie. It is the name my daughter has picked out for her daughter someday. Her youngest boy is now nine so maybe not in this life, but we are hoping. I hope your new little one is here soon and happy and healthy. Sure also hope you are getting some interest on the ranch.
Make it a great day...I know you will.
Love, Bonnie
Congrats Juli!!
Oh your quilts are adorable..how kind of you!
Love the photos of your grands and that cake looks so summery good!
Can I come visit?! :)
Deborah xoxo
Congrats on the new addition to your family. Claire will love the dress and quilt. I am fixing your Frozen Delight treat for my kids this weekend. It's so so HOT lately that this dessert should "Hit the Spot". Thanks for sharing!
Hi Julie,
Congratulations on the exciting news! What a very sweet name they have chosen for her! Your baby quilts and dress are the most adorable collection for her. She will be so dearly loved (is already),,,,what a good God we have to bring us such wonderful blessings!!! :)
Doing a happy dance for you!!! :)

Congratulations on another sweet grandbaby! You are so blessed with all these gorgeous grandchildren! That dessert looks wonderful and I can't wait to try it!
Congratulations on the new addition to your family. Claire is such a beautiful name. the quilt you made for her is so precious.
How wonderful. A new little baby on the way. Loving your quilts, made with such love and so beautiful. And, with these hot days, we need a dessert that is nice and cool and tasty, too. Hottest summer since 1955, thus far, and we just tied the record form 1875 for the most rain in the month of July...... Crazy! xoxo
one lucky baby getting a grandmother like you! hope all goes well while you wait for claire's arrival!
Wow what wonderful news about another new grand to love and cherish.
I love the quilt that you made for lil Claire.
Your dessert sure does sound so yummy and I am going to have to try it. It is still very hot here.
thanks for sharing all of your sweet grands with us.
Wow, congratulations! How wonderful to hear this happy news. I love the name Claire too, it is so feminine and pretty.
Thanks for sharing this happy news and thanks also for sharing another one of your famous recipes! I might just have to make that in a few weeks though as it is still quite chilly here.
Take care and best wishes to you and your family.
Natasha.
Oh my goodness - another little sweet bundle of joy!!! Congrats to your family. Just adding to all the love.
And I can see all your love in those sweet little blankets Julie! They are so cute - I think I like the one that you enbroidered on - love the colors. Your grands are all so sweet - that cotton candy can't even compare with all the sugar from your littles!
sweet ideas -- I have a new grand baby coming Aug 20th -- can I have you send me what you have made for your grand baby and then you can just whip up a new JK - wink -- I am sso wanting to sew for my grand baby such sweet things - but I guess this time the next best thing is go buy such cute things and hope it means a great deal as home made does. Love the idea with the ice cream -- it is cooling me off just by looking at it! Hugs..
I'm so happy for you...little Claire will love grandma's darling dresses and beautiful quilts. I make your dessert often and it is always a big hit on hot days...thanks Julie!
Baby quilts are so special and this one is totally adorable! The little elephant looks like he's laughing. Congratulations on another little bundle from Heaven!
Thanks for sharing the dessert too ~ I think I could eat the whole thing right now.
xo
Pat
Congratulations Julie! I know you are beyone excited....a new baby has a way of doing that to we Grandparents. That dessert looks yummy...and cool, which would be a welcome relief from all this wilting heat.
Such fun pictures! The cotton candy looks fabulous and so does the cool dessert. I haven't made that in forever either! I love to be reminded of yummy treats that I have made in the past.
I can't believe Joni didn't stop either. I thought she should have, who cares what anyone looks like, although I would have probably been covered in mud from the garden. I love the new Sheri Dew quote on your sidebar.
wonderful news!! Congratulations...
Ahhh another sweet blessing from above coming your way! We have one coming in December! Have fun collecting goodies! Isn't it the best of times?!!!
Hugs,
Maryjane
