This was sliding off the chair funny. Since I never ever leave comments, I will take advantage . Love this blog. Also I hope you are saving the fabric from wee ones garments you create for her to make her a memory quilt. I did two for my DD age 1-6 (Sunbunny Sue)then a school house block I had teachers sign each year. The school house block was to be for her graduation from High School. I have the fav dresses still packed away. She is 25. One hopes they will be used again someday :)

That is just too cute! Mimi - I wish I had had the foresight to have quilts made from my girls outfits (I have come to terms with the fact that quilting & my temperament just don't mesh). Great idea! I did (at my younger daughter's insistence) save all the clothes I knitted for them - she has them in a big Rubbermaid container but I don't think she ever used any (maybe because she got so many new handmade things made especially for them?).
