Handmade Gifts

    Because this blog is on crafterly things, how could I not show of some of the wonderfully handcrafted baby items recently gifted to me?? Because I understand how much time and love it takes to make a handmade item, it means so much more to me. Here are a couple of handmade things I love:

    A handspun, handknit, and handsewn Baby Surprise Jacket!

    It’s reversible too, with a very cool lining. I absolutely love the colors:

    Complete with Cheri’s etsy shop label (so professional and clean looking too! So impressive!):

    And then there is a quilt that was put together by my high school friend Karen:
    Karen's Baby Quilt - folded

    Karen's Baby Quilt - spread out

    Aren’t the colors gorgeous?! I am so in love with this blanket, I know it will be one of my favorites. I was so touched by all the time and effort she put into this. And it has a yellow fleece underside:

    And another delightful label lovingly placed at the edge:

    Lastly, handsewn baby leg warmers by Esther! Aren’t they adorable??

    And just for kicks, I always love the gifts given by other fellow moms, who are always thinking practically.
