It has the words, "I love Grandma" all over it. I thought I was finished making new baby gear then after getting it home I put it in the washer and dryer then thought it would make such nice receiving blankets for my new grandbaby to be. I had 4 weeks to get it made and in the mail to my daughter in OKC. After cutting and sewing 3 of the blankets I still had some of the fabric left over and then my mind went into overdrive.
"What do I do with what's left"?
Don't tell the Mr. but I took one of his old tee shirts cut into teeny size (with a pocket...gota make it as authentic as I could)
Now for the hair, face and little baseball cap (from an old pair of jeans) and purple crochet socks.
I used permanent marker for the face.
The cap needed an embroidered "P" for the family name.
If it's a girl.. ok, I'll not go there (yet).
Only 3 to 4 weeks and this little one will enter the world.
This babys gender is the "Sweet surprise of the century" for the entire family, especially my daughter and her husband. Do you believe the gender of this child is in an envelope stashed in my daughters closet and no one has seen it.
I think I need to stop now (stop making new baby items). Now to wait, then it's on to 6 month and older sizes. As you can tell, "I'm so excited"

Love that fabric! I have one Grandson who will be two in April. They are saying they will have one more child so I'm hoping for a girl but will be thrilled with whatever gender God gives us!!! Fingers crossed for you! Hugs, Linda
The bibs and the doll came out so adorable! And what a great find in that piece of baby flannel! thank you for sharing with us at TTF.
I've sewn up lots of bibs but have seen the kind that hold pacifiers- yours are so cute! I am going to add them to do my to-list.
We have 4 grands and 1 due in 2 months- all since 2008.
