Spring is exploding! A new life!!!

Well do we ever have happy news!  A new little girl is in our lives!!  Miss Maia has joined our wonderful family!  Mr. Richard and I were never blessed with our own children but we have adopted into our family all sorts of heavenly people...and so we are sort of the adopted auntie and uncle....
 Fine with me!  The new mummy with her little girl.....
The Picture below is grainy because I took it off my computer screen....don't know how to get photos from email to iphoto.....So I just took a picture of the screen!
 This is my favorite picture so far of this sweet girl...she is 6lbs 2 0z...soooo little....her little head is in her daddy's hand!   We are in Love....
 Moving along on the sewing room!
 I am to excited about this to even think of it...I know it is going to take some time as Mr. R is doing all the work himself on days off....but so worth the wait!  I think I am going to need help naming this little place....I have come up with a few names but nothing has stuck...
 O.k. so if you have a new little girl....you need to make her a fun thing to look at in bed! I have been have so much fun doing little squares of embroidery... this one is my fav..
 each of these is a 5 inch square...I will do  maybe one of these per row and then the rest will be prints..
 I have always loved the look of scrap quilts...lots of different color prints that are just fun...
 I think I am going to add a sun in the upper corner...
 I had so much fun doing this one...I used metallic thread for the spokes and handle bars..
 Mummy and Daddy in stick!
Happy balloons....
