Oh! What a Yarn

After learning about this darling pattern for knit hats with flowers and drawstring bags from my friend Julie, I decided to try my hand at making these projects of love for my granddaughters.

They were so delighted with these gifts. Big sister loved having a fun hat with a bag big enough to hold her toys.

And little sister loved having her own set of new hat and purse.

I was so happy to see their eyes light up when their gifts were opened because I did it out of love.

Crocheting Creations and Sewing Sensations

Talents are lovely traditions to pass from generation to generation. My Grandma crocheted a baby afghan for each grandchild and she made numerous other hats, gloves, and throws for gifts. I have made a baby afghan for each of my 2 grandchildren. It's a fun connection to family, past, present and future.
My friends have similar traditions going on in their families.

Julie has created an ensemble of "Grandma Gifts' for her visit to her kids and grandkids this month. There's a yellow hat and monkey for the "Curious George" fan. A dragon with a stomach pocket for eaten victims. And pretty purse and bonnet any girl would adore. Julie also crochets delicate snowflake tree ornaments for her family. Beautiful!

Sally sends the sewing machine whirling whipping up adorable Nursery fashions for her brand new granddaughter, Lola. I love this idea because it helps the new mother; it lets you be connected with the new baby; and you get to share your talents with posterity.
Inspiring friends!
