We've been home from the hospital just over a week and it's hard to believe that Afton Grace, our new little bundle of joy, is almost two weeks old already. Afton was born on June 9 and measured 8 lbs 13 ounces.
We have been keeping busy with a toddler and a newborn. Of course, I am up several times with the baby each night, so we joined Netflix and have been watching movies in bits and pieces. I definitely did not expect to have time to work on artwork during our first days home from the hospital, but I've actually gotten a bit of carving done. It's the perfect project because I can pick it up for 5 minutes and put it down quickly without too much mess to clean up. I'd probably be smarter to sleep during whatever spare time I have, but it does make me feel good to finally make progress on this block. Plus, I know that once the doctor says I can resume normal activity (like lifting and stairs--I had a c-section), my free moments will go toward laundry and other fun chores.
So, I'm almost done clearing the background from this block. Next steps will be to proof it and transfer the design to the other color blocks.

Congratulations on the birth of Afton Grace. I'm glad you are home and all is well!
I love your printmaking and can't wait to see the outcome here.
Congratulations, Amanda! (And the block is coming along nicely.)
Congratulations on your new daughter, I hope she will bring you every bit as much joy as my daughter brings to me. The block is coming right along and will always be there waiting for you when you have time. Speedy recovery from the C business. ;-)
Congratulations, Amanda, on your little baby! I wish you all much joy.
Lucky, lucky you with a new healthy baby girl!
