Stephanie's gifts

I made Stephanie a hooded towel for baby. I was gifted one of these when Case was born and found it to be so luxurious and warm for baby. So much better than the flimsy ones you get in the store, and they last so much longer too. Case and Amelia used theirs until they were 7 or 8. I hope she likes it as much.:








And Amelia made her one of these:

(picture to come)

It is handsewn of felt with wool stuffing that we obtained from our friends with sheep that she cleaned and "teased" (since we don't have carders yet), and has a bell inside to jingle as the baby shakes it. This isn't the exact one as I forgot to take a picture before we gifted it. She did an exellent job of making the stitches small and tight and stiching down the decorations very well to make it safe for baby's mouth. She worked all week on it and I am VERY proud of her.
