They’re Crafty
We are lucky to have a lot of great people in our lives, and it seems to me that more than a few of them are particularly talented in a variety of crafts. Nothing brings out crafty-talent better than the impending arrival or birth of a baby. Jocelyn has been the recipient of a number of really beautiful hand-made items, and I feel it would be a shame not to show them off here.
The first item is a play-mat type blanket made by my mom.
Next are three (yes, three) blankets crocheted (they could be knitted, I can never tell the difference) by my mom.
The last three are on the same blanket, but I just wanted to show you all how cute our baby is.
This next blanket and cap was crocheted by Matthew’s mother. The cap is a bit too large, but she’ll grow into it!
This cute blanket and cap were knitted by Matthew’s Uncle Leslie.
This sweater was knitted by Matthew’s old bench-mate at Mizzou, Nicole. A little big yet, but not for long.
This quilt was made by my good friend Velma who has made lots of beautiful quilts and other cool crafts.
Here is the woman herself, with her hands a bit full during a recent visit to our place.
Aw, she’s the cutest little cutie! And that cat is ginormous.
The cat’s 90% fur.
Homemade gifts are the best baby gifts ever. The best present we got for Zach was a quilt a friend of mine in Britain made. Just beautiful.
She’s absolutely gorgeous!
