It's Official!

My niece Celia is pregnant! It's her first and I'm so excited! I'm already making knitting plans. Celia stayed with us for about three months last summer while she went to Air Traffic Controller school. She passed, of course, with flying colors and she and her hubby Charles, moved to California (though I tried to talk her into staying - we have planes here for pete' sake).

Aren't they cute! They celebrated their first wedding anniversary while she was here. And what a sweetheart, he drove up from Abilene, TX about every other weekend to see her.

So when I talked to her tonight, it was just to be sure she had told her grandparents (my parents) so I could finally talk about it. And I made sure they both know I want monthly updates.

Now I can't decide whether to make a hooded baby blanket or a feather and fan blanket to start. And as soon as they know if it's a boy or girl, then the fun will start. I have some favorite baby patterns AND some that look like they'd be fun to try.

All those UFOs are going to be sitting a while longer, but what's time in stash-years. And I'll still be working on the next felted tote. I finished one side tonight but no pics cause I wanted to share the good news with you.

So what's YOUR favorite baby thing to make? What gets the most ooohhhs and aaahhs? What's the fastest or most satisfying or even the most fun baby item you've made? Because, yes, I want MORE ideas!
