My 3-yr old grandson likes to watch the embroideries stitch out. The other day I showed him some dinosaurs in the HV catalog, and said "these dinosaurs would look really cute on your swimming trunks". His reply "actually Grandma, those are dragons!" I didn't notice they had wings :)

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh how cute.

How sweet. I made clothes for my daughters when they were little. They are all grown now. I miss it. No grandchildren yet.

How adorable..My 1st GD is due end of this month, and i can't wait to experience the same thrill as yourself..Happy Days ahead :)

AAAAAHHHHHHHH!

Adorable!
You will embroider for her, ladybugs and so many others flowers,kitty....

Thats so sweet, enjoy every minute.
I have 5 grand daughter(2 to 17) and 1 grandson(15) , I have love sewing for all of them.I made my youngest grand daughter Susannah 2 years, 3, cord pinnys for winter.,I had fun doing embroidery on them.

There is nothing so sweet, as what comes out of the mouth of a toddler! Makes you want to squeeze them with a big hug!!

Our little one came into Grams sewing room and ask if "you make me a petty skirt gradma " so we set about finding the fabric she pick one with flowers , and we set to work ...she loves it ,and she is only three. One of Grandma treasures in life . Cathy

I have 3 GD's there is nothing I like to do better than sew for them.

I bet you immediately started looking though your stash of designs looking for a ladybug, didn't you!! I sure would have!! *4U

I would be crying, probably. And for my GGD I would have to do it even on clothes.

Well I was blessed with a Daughter and Son. And now 2 GD's. They are now 2 and 5 years. They are so cute.

It is amazing, how they can change your life, as you have said you can't explain.
Oh and they both have there Oupa (My husband)wrapped around there little fingers. He can never say NO to them.
My daughter can't believe the things we allow them to get away with.(As she so often says, "we were never allowed to do that")
Nakita the 5 year old, always comes into my sewing room to see what I have been doing. I have a special box that I put all my FSL work into, she then sorts through it and makes a pile. Then askes "Ouma can I take these home" How can I say NO.

That is so cute - I have tears in my eyes!
I have 2 older gsons (20 & 21)and their sister (10)was my first GD.
I always sewed most of my kids clothes when they were small and the middle always preferred me to make things for her. I carried on to the grandsons.
Once when they were younger one of them brought something to me and asked me to fix it for him and then said "you can fix ANYTHING!
I wish I'd had an embroidery machine years ago!
I even did waste canvas on things for my GSons.
I now have 2 more Gchildren, a girl just turned 3 and a boy almost 2.
At present I am making quilts for the 3 youngest and have requests for afghans for the older 2 boys.
It's awesome when they ask you to make something for them!
The other day my GD hugged me and leaned back a bit to look at me and said "You're the best gramma a girl could ever wish for."
As my mother always said "I don't spoil them, I just love them".

Sew,sew,sew for that little gal! My 2 grand daughters are now 13 & going on 10 and they don't want the frilly things anymore! However, they DID want me to make their Easter dresses! They went to Hobby Lobby, picked out their pattern & fabric, snapped a pic of the fabric & emailed it to me! They always have to have 2 choices in case I can't get the same thing here. I'll post a pic of them in the dresses when I get down there this weekend. Hopefully!! I know you are doing ladybugs now!! And right where they are supposed to be!

If I'd have known grandchildren were so much fun I would have had them first.

I hope you stitched them for her! Do you have Yoriko's FSL Ladybug charms? I took off the eyelet and put 5 of them on a 4x4 hoop and they stitched out great with Vilene 2 layers. Then you can put them all over dresses and socks and anything else. They look cute hanging off of a collar. You are sew, sew lucky to finally have a granddaughter. I keep having adorable little grandsons! My GD is 16 and I don't have any idea what to sew for her.. any ideas?

Thank you everyone for the darling cute sweet posts! Flowers to everyone and hugs!

I can related to this, Dawn. I also have 3 sons and now I can do girls things to my 2 granddaughters. You are lucky she asked for a ladybug, mine asked for a hello kitty, and this design is licensed. My granddaughter couldn't understand about the "rights" stuff, but I asked her to find another design and she did choose a ladybug too. Love and hugs,Yoriko

I can relate sew well to this too, My GD was only 18months old when she asked me to make bankie for graybay, I said you want me to make a blanket for your brother, why? She said me keep mine!How can you say NO? I can't & didn't!

I can relate. My almost 3 GD likes to take my fat-quarters and stack them up under the sewing table and tells me not to take them; they're for her dress. She also learned her colors sorting through my embroidery thread. She's the youngest of my four GDs and the only one to take an interest in sewing. I encourage her because I have to leave my machines to someone who will appreciate them.

Wish I had a D or a GD./ Your GD has good taste. Hope you put some ladybugs on it for her. Lyn

I wish that they would stay young longer!!!

That is so sweet. And I just bet Nana sewed ladybug on that for her. How could you resist.

Dawn..Completely un-related to this post, but I do not have the time to trawl through the posts today to see if you have posted anything other.
