So many of my friends are crafty!! Handmade gifts are so special, and everyone did not disappoint! My mother-in-law was so impressed when I told her that most of my friends sew, and that we used to have sewing parties. Those were so fun!! I need to find some crafty Laredo friends to have craft parties with...or just teach Bobby and Lily to craft with me!! I can't wait to teach Lily to sew one day. Check out all the handmade goodies!
One of two blankets my mom made for Lilliana. This one is my favorite! Cupcakes on the front and polka dots on the back. So colorful!!
Burp cloths from Sarah! These are the best. Very absorbent. Love the birdie!
Knitted hat from Erin. I love her hats! She made 2 of them and they are so cute! The flower is actually a hair clip, so when the hats are too small, Lily can still wear the flower in her hair! Genius!
I am so impressed with Courtney's new sewing skills. She is new to sewing and she does a great job! She also appliqued some onesies and pants. So cute! The other side of this blanket is a super soft 'minky' fabric.
My sister, Casey, made these veggies for Lily. Two of them are little rattles! She also made a little market bag to go with. So creative. I am already hiding these from Bobby, who right now thinks everything in Lily's room is for him!
This one is extra special. My grandma made it for her first great-granddaughter. She has 4 great-grandsons so she is extra excited to finally have a little girl to make things for! Everyone (especially the grandkids) knows my grandma's scent. If I pass someone in a store wearing my grandma's perfume, I have to stop and take a long breath. The blanket smelled so much like her, that I had to indulge in a big whiff! :) My grandparents live in a small town, Kermit, TX, so I don't get to see them very often.
Thank you everyone! I loved everything, and I am slowly getting everything organized and put away. Right now I am doing a big load in the washing machine. It is so different to see pink and purple twirling around in the wash! It used to be just reds, blues and greens! I could get used to this... :)

Hi! I follow Casey's blog and I just think you two are the cutest. And you are both so creative! I love the things you make. =)
Those are all so precious! I do really like the hat, it is just too cute. Glad you had a great shower, I am sure Lily's closet is more full than yours now :)
