First Toy For Baby



 When I noticed the intense, smiley, one-sided interaction going on between Baby and some empty, dangling strings hanging from her toy bar (the toys having long disappeared to thieving elder brothers and sisters) I decided it was time for mama to put all other sewing aside and make precious baby something worthier of her sweet affections.

First I took some warm and fluffy velvet

                                                      and some cool, slippery silk,


 stuffed in handfuls of creamy, clean wool,



stitched on a hat in the perfect shade of pink made from Grandma's shirt, 




and oh- so- carefully embroidered a sweet little face.




Pulled on a pair of  precious, wee socks hand knitted by Auntie,




tied a hard wooden ring for grasping and chewing,


and infused it with all the love mama's heart holds!



Introduced baby to her first toy




and I think she likes it!
