Here's another little bonnet. More plain and perfect for a little boy. I wish I had a baby's head, or even a doll to put it on. Maybe I'll hunt down a Cabbage Patch at my parents--I know there's a bald one hanging out there somewhere. Anyway, if you need a sentimental baby gift, let me know....
The white blanket is going to be donated. White is not white! I tried but did not not successfully match the yarn, but it'll still make someone very happy, I hope. In the meantime, I've started a blue one for a baby boy due in August. The color is much deeper than it looks here. It's called "Cape Cod Blue". I am using a more mature blue as I know the father of the baby and he's not the type to go for traditional baby blue or another baby-type color. I tried to pick one that everyone would like.
I am finally getting rid of these invitations tomorrow. There are invites for the ceremony only, invites for the ceremony and reception, maps to the ceremony, and maps to the reception, and extras that were just added by the bride. Hopefully, they'll do as I didn't want to purchase another pack of cards for only 10 extras, so I used what I had. I am hoping that since most people don't mind saving money, they'll appreciate them?
I got a great comment from someone near and dear about learning something that I do. I was very honored as it was from someone so talented in her own right, but it got me thinking how cool it would be to have art/craft camp for adults!! I actually think when scrapbooking first started to boom, they had these all night scrapbooking convention type events. Well, that's cool, but I'd love to have something to show everyone how with very little supplies, you can make something wonderful. Scrapbooking is great, don't get me wrong, but there are so many supplies and tools that it's rather overwhelming to new crafters. I can carry this blanket anywhere I go, it's a skein of yarn and a crochet hook, and it's easy to pick up where you left off. So, you can do a row here, a row there. So, we probably won't get to have craft/activity camp, but if there is anything you ever want to try, let me know!

Maybe when/if you come to Cleveland we can go for a girls night to a coffee shop and learn how to crochet.
ReplyDeleteThe bonnets and blankie are beautiful! They will be treasured gifts. You are so talented :-)
ReplyDeleteI did chuckle about the baby head though - did you just want the head or the whole body! ha! I kid!!
Robin--what a great idea!! I'll have to pack supplies! So, you have an interest in learning crochet? How about knitting?
ReplyDeleteMichelle, thanks, and so are you! When I hear about your garden, I am envious:) And, for posing purposes, I think the whole body would be best. (Just what my roommate wants, me bringing dolls home from my parents', uh, not so much!)
I already know how to knit. My grandmother is 92 and an avid crocheter. Would be a great surprise to show her I could do it too. Carry on her legacy!
