Now the final item from my sister’s crocheting you won’t want to miss.

Everyone knows nothing makes us “ooh” and “aah” more than a precious little baby…but take a look at this adorable outfit she made…it is an “ooh” “aah” item for sure.  Can’t you just picture someone’s new baby in this for a photo shoot?  I can.

This little baby blanket and hat are also adorable…what made them very special for her was she used some of Mother’s buttons on the blanket and hat.  What a keepsake for her grandchild to have.

Carol thank you for sharing, we have so enjoyed your crafting and the stories that accompanied them.

The sweater is so spectacular isn’t it?  Looks like you know what.  Fits like it too. Couldn’t get it over my head so thought, okay maybe Kennedy, my granddaughter could.  Nope, guess again.  She couldn’t get it over her head either.
So I took the neck apart and fixed it so I could.  Okay, so what, I can get it over my head, but then it’s so small around the shoulders and chest, that you can see my skin peeking out of the stitches, not a pretty site.
If I were brave enough I could have modeled it for you!  It was a sight to behold and an experience I hope I don’t repeat.  At least I can say I did make myself a sweater.  lol  :)
