More Handmade Gifts

Well, I'm still not crafting right now, even though my crafty wish list is growing and growing. But I just have to go with the flow and they'll all be ready and waiting for me when I have the time and ambition to get back to them. In the meantime, here are some fun new gifts I got from my Crafters Local 612 girlfriends!

These were made by Trish of Crafty Planet. The bibs were hand knit and then sewn onto cute cotton fabric. She said it was the first time she used fabric and knitting together, well it turned out awesome!! The booties she bought at No Coast Craft-o-Rama last December from Audrey's Daughter.

Here is a photo of the knit side of the bibs. Look at all the fancy details! She said that when she made the bear on the green one that she was just "winging it". Well, that is why she is the crafty goddess we mortals call "Trish"... Thank you!!

These little darlings were made by Ellen. They are a wonderful bigger size and have the convenient food-catching pocket at the bottom. I pulled them out of their bag one by one and each one was my favorite! (do favorites work that way?) One is outer space kids, one has tiny robots and the last is sock monkeys and bananas. Hello, they are adorable. Thank you Ellen!


This last photo I have already posted I think but I didn't realize at the time that they were a part of the Crafters Local 612 Bib themed gift, so I thought I would post them again. These were made by Tracy, a couple of sweet small knit bibs (I still don't know if I'll be able to actually use them, they're too much like heirlooms!) and a cute cotton fabric one with a dog theme. Thank you Tracy!
The best part of the bib project is how each person's reflect their own personality. I am honored to be the recipient.

You girls rock!!

P.S. - Baby update. Today is my due date, I am 40 weeks! Contractions have started and I am due into the hospital in the morning to see if we can get this baby going a little faster. Wish me luck, friends. Next time you hear from me I will be a mom!

Love, Kristen Mary
