Memory making

One of the reasons I began making baby items was that I received so many lovely baby items when my son was born that I wanted to give these types of gifts to others.  Handmade gifts are just so nice to give and receive.  They are made with love!  Corny, I know...

So I have made all my kids blankets, clothing, softies, toys, etc... I hope they cherish them years from now. 

I wanted to share one of my baby blankets...let's just say it qualifies as vintage now.  It is so beautiful and my mom can't seem to remember who made it for me.  But the detail is AMAZING.  It makes me want to try some needleturn applique and embroidery.  I just love it. 

Look at these amazing scalloped edges! 

It's a keeper!

Score!

I love finding vintage materials...like these wonderful chenille bedspreads.  I was at a craft show one time and a lady was selling girls clothing made out of vintage chenille bedspreads.  They were selling like hotcakes because they were SOOOO cute.  I bought Sarah a jacket and since then I have been keeping an eye out so I could make one down the road when she outgrows the one she has.  These might just do the trick.  Although I really don't know if I can cut them up!  They are too pretty.  We will see...
