Boobie-Bunco-Bingo-Blast

To say that I'm looking forward to my new grandaughter is putting it mildly!

I find myself becoming a baby magnet.

I attended a fundraiser for the Susan G. Koman 3Day 60 mile Breast cancer walk and you can see by the photos below what I focused on!

Jenny and I snatched up this little one.....okay, I let Jenny hold her only briefly!
A friend remarked to Jenny that she was never going to get to hold her own baby after it was born............I'd always be holding it!   Might be true!

Second only to the sweet baby were these sweet treats!

My friend John catered this event and he has a flair for making fabulous food and presenting it with panache. 

Babies and eating.........hummmm?  what could be better?

This event was titled:

"Boobie-Bunco-Bingo-Blast"

and was presented to benefit

The Susan G. Koman 3Day 60 mile Breast Cancer Walk.

Each participant paid $25 to play one game of Bunco

one game of Bingo and received 4 raffle tickets

to "bid" for many prizes.

There was also a Silent Auction.

My friend Kathy and I made 2 quilts to be auctioned off.

I made this little wallhanging using both embroidery and quilting.

It was a delightful evening.

I hope they raised alot of money for the cause!

See ya next time,   tammy

Babies, Boppies and Bumbos, Oh MY!

Babies are such a precious gift from God.

Just look at this adorable baby!

This sweet little girl was

a pleasure to hold.

She is 2 1/2 weeks old here.

Such a blessing!

But Man!

Things have really changed since I had my babies!

Like this really cool pillow

called a Boppy.

It is used primarily for nursing mothers,

but can also be used to offer support for your

little one while learning to sit.

I've been trying to figure out a cover for the boppy

that can be taken off and washed.

They do sell them, but I like to make things.

My first attempt was unsuccessful, but lo and behold

I just googled Boppy cover pattern and found

several different blogs with patterns.

I actually tried out the Boppy myself and found

that maybe I need one myself.

I can just see me leaning back with my arms

and a good book resting on a Boppy!

Another cool new baby item is the BUMBO!

The bumbo is a cool little molded seat

that completely supports a baby while sitting.

They also make fantastic table centerpieces

as shown in the above picture!

The little tray is an extra feature that

can be snapped on when needed.

My Jenny girl had another beautiful shower this

past Sunday and was extremely blessed

to receive many nice things for baby Mia.

It was a very nice day, well,

except for the gale force winds blowing things around.

One of the party go-ers asked me if I had a storm cellar!

But all in all a fabulous day,

the wind just added some character!

At the end of the day Jenny and Rafael got

to marvel and reflect on the miracle of life

and dream about their upcoming blessing.
