One of the first things we did when I retired in July of 2021 was drive to Boulder, Colorado. We had not been to visit our grandchildren in almost two years due to COVID travel restrictions and ongoing border closures.
In July of 2021 the Canada/US border was still closed to non-essential travel. We hoped to get through because we were visiting our daughter who was pregnant with her fourth and in need of help with the other three while her husband was working. Luckily our reason for travel worked with sympathetic US border guards. I remember it was such a huge relief that I cried tears of joy when they let us go.
Our drive to Boulder was uneventful, but our reunion with our grandchildren was awesome. We are always happy to see them and they us. This visit was different though. After more than a year of COVID restrictions including on-line schooling, limited activities and very little socializing, they were super excited to spend time with us. Our week together flew by and we enjoyed every minute of it.
Our granddaughter was sad to see us leave this time. She gave me a note the night before we left with a picture of a kitten she had drawn. She wanted me to crochet a kitten and she wanted it to be little like her drawing.
I didn't follow a pattern for this one ... just crocheted parts to match the drawing and sewed them together to make an Itty Bitty Crochet Kitty. Check out the photos below. Although it's a little bigger than her drawing, I think I nailed it!
