Grandmothers Hope Chest

August 3, 2011 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy 9 Comments

Unlike some women, I am looking forward to being a Grandmother. But what should me grandkids call me? Nana? no…..Grandma? maybe….Granny? no, because that’s what everyone calls my mother. I’m leaning towards Savta, which is grandmother in Hebrew. I don’t know, I kind of like it.

 

I will just be glad that I am a grandmother, no matter the name.

 

You might be thinking I’m not old enough to be a grandma, but I am. In fact, I have a 25 yo son and a 23 year old daughter. My daughter has been married for 3 years. See, I  could be a grandma. 🙂

 

Recently I went through all the books in the schoolroom and getting rid of ones we didn’t use anymore. I found a few books that I just couldn’t part with. Like the Bedtime Bible Story Book that my husband read to all 6 children over the years. It’s like a family heirloom. That’s when I decided to start a Grandmothers Hope Chest.

 

No, I don’t have a chest. Or even a box yet. lol But I have contents. lol Since I had decided to save the books, it was only natural to proceed to making stuff for my future grandchildren.

 

A friend posted this baby sweater pattern on Facebook and I thought it was really cute. So I made one! I used baby yarn I had on hand and a smaller hook so I would have a smaller sweater.

 

 

Since I didn’t have a baby to try it on, Samantha (the American Girl) said she’d try it on for me.

 

 

How cute is that? I used this baby hat pattern. Both the sweater and the hat were very easy to make. I even made the crocheted buttons! The instructions are with the sweater pattern.

 

Now I need to make a set for a girl. Pink? Purple? Maybe both!

    If you are making a Grandmother’s Hope Chest, then you need the book series by that name. http://www.amazon.com/Running-Rooster-Grandmothers-Hope-Chest/dp/1595650024/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1313201788&sr=1-3 Sweetest books ever.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

John 3:16-17 NKJV
