This is Luke!

Happy New Year, everyone!!!

I hope each and every one of you had a wonderful Christmas and are enjoying the first few days of the New Year!

We had an amazing Christmas with our kids and grand kids here and I realized that I never introduced you to the newest addition to our family.

But, first, an update on our granddaughter! Many of you prayed us through the very difficult first few months of Addie’s life and we are forever grateful to you for that! God answered your prayers, and ours, in amazing ways!

Addie is now 3 1/2 years old and very healthy. She is a delight to us all!

Last year, our daughter became pregnant with a baby boy and Luke Aaron was born this past July 9. While her doctors were not super optimistic about her pregnancy or the delivery, (due to an autoimmune disease), both went extremely well! Luke was born weighing more than twice what Addie weighed, at 7 pounds 12 ounces, and he has not had any health issues!

So, I’d like you to introduce you to Luke! He’s such a sweet boy and probably the most quiet baby that ever lived!

Every grandma loves her grandchildren and thinks they are the BEST and I’m no exception! These kids are definitely a gift from the Lord!!!

In other news….I want to welcome you to the new website! After months of reconstruction, we are ready to roll! I hope you are enjoying this new spot on the world wide web. SewForDough is now The Sewing Garden. I hope to have many new and exciting posts up soon for your encouragement and help along your sewing (and life) journey!

I also want to let you know that I’ve written 2 E-books that I think you’ll find invaluable in your sewing library. One is a comprehensive guide to starting a sewing business. The other is all about how to price your sewing for customers. I think you’ll find them incredibly helpful!

Please post a comment and tell us your favorite Christmas memory or a goal (sewing or not) that you have for the New Year!
