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!
Oh my goodness!! Look how sweet she is! And that is her first toy?? Perfection! What a cherished item that will be.
