Welcome! I'm so thrilled you're here! I'm Helene, and this blog is about my sewing, dressmaking, quilting, knitting, and sometimes other craft exploits.
At 10:15pm on Sunday night, after quite a long labour, my eldest daughter Devorah gave birth to the most beautiful little boy! We went straight into the hospital as soon as we received her call – she’s in really great shape! Here are some photos we took when little Austin was only about an hour old.
the first moment I saw him, I fell in love
when i held him for the first time, I could have sworn his bright little eyes were looking straight at me

I’ll write more later, gotta go, just had to share!
There is no feeling like being a grandmother for the first time. I didn’t want to be one but I fell in love (just like you) and now he has my heart wrapped around his little nearly-two-year-old heart!
Congratulations to the parents, the aunties and the proud grandparents! And welcome little Austin.
Congratulations Helene. How wonderful. A new baby brings so much joy into the world. Austin looks gorgeous. I wonder how many baby things you will be sewing now? Love Janine x
