the blue blog archives: the first gift of christmas

I'm not making that many holiday gifts this year and still I'm waaaay behind! This is the first handmade giftie - and it was only partially made by me. It's for a friend of the family, who became a first-time grandparent this year. (I made the itty bitty football hat for the grandbaby when he was born.) For Christmas, I'm sending the grandpa a pair of Kaya's Kloset booties to give to the baby (look, there's no way I could make those things as well as Johanna does, so I didn't even try!) and a store-bought picture frame (wait for it, I did do some crafting here...) with the inside mat covered in the same cute baby boy fabric as the shoes. Matching baby booties and grandpa brag photo frame - what could be merrier?

What a thoughtful gift - as a grandparent I can vouch that any gifts that involve the grands hold a special place in a grandparent's heart. My daughter also bought me a giftie from an etsy seller - a thin silver chain with a tiny pearl & 3 tiny "dogtags" - each has the name of one of the grands. I love it - exactly the slean lines I like & what could be better than wearing the names of my 3 favorite little ones close to my heart!?!?

The frame looks great! They are a perfect set, and I'm sure they will both be loved.

Thanks for the compliments, and get back to that holiday crafting. (I just finished my last two presents!)
