Since two out of the three girls have received their gifts I can share with you their presents.
First gifts are for my niece Candace who is expecting her second baby and it's a Girl "Alana Marie" due on Dec. 25. her sister Katie is also due on Dec. 25...funny and they didn't even plan it. I can't show you Katie's gifts for her baby Boy since her baby shower is not until Oct. 16....
So on with the gifts.... for baby "Alana Marie".
Crocheted with 100% cotton yarn blanket and knitted hat.
Another knitted hat.
This sewn blanket went to Jaclynn of (I was never the Girl next Door). We have known Jaclynn since she was a little girl. This is Jaclynn's first baby and it's a boy (Jaclynn and Dan are keeping the baby's name a surprise until they see his sweet tiny face). If you read Jaclynn's blog then you know she loves dragon flies. When I found this fabric I couldn't resit it.
I tried to make a frog hat, it was my first try..The hat is crocheted and the eyes are sewn in very tightly with buttons. Jaclynn if your are reading this please wash the frog hat inside out to protect the eyes from getting scratched in the washing machine....Always a Mom, I know...just looking out for my girls.
Next a crocheted blanket in (Raider) colors...it's a popular football team in the S.F. bay area.
Just as cute as a button! this little Mommy to be. Isn't creating life the most beautiful thing!

I love everything you made for us :) Both blankets are hanging off of the crab right now. I have not had time to blog about all of my wonderful handmade gifts but I will get on that asap. You beat me :)
Love,
Jaclynn and our little man
You are one special gal to be giving such thoughtful, handmade gifts! The babies are going to love the coziness!
I am so glad that the sentiment of homemade and handmade gifts is finally coming back. I have always made baby gifts by hand, and while the moms find they are useful, they are never really regarded as something that took time. I am so glad that people out there somewhere still appreciate the time, energy, cost, thought, and most of all LOVE that go into making these things.
Congrats Jaclynn...
Oh Elizabeth...you handmade items are lovely...I am sure they love everything!!
Elizabeth, You sound like such an amazing friend, it makes me so want to know you personally. You are so creative and obviously you stay very busy, making lovely little gifts for others. I love everything that you made.
I can't wait to see the curtains that you are making. I may have to make some, too, after I see yours!
Your long distance (wannabe) friend, Cindy
What lucky babies and mommies! I wish I had a knack for sewing. It would really come in handy for all that fabric I buy on impulse!
Absolutely A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E! My most favorite gifts of my children's births were the handmade items. Lurve it!
You have been such a busy girl. I don't know how you get so much done. Cute blankets and crocheted hats and sweaters. I loved the little tag on the dalmation blanket.
What a sweet post.
Beautiful treasures that you made my friend. Any new Mama would be thrilled to receive such lovely gifts. You are a knitter(and crocheter!) how wonderful- we are kindred souls! You know I love to knit- but I cannot hold a crochet hook!
Thank you for posting about my little Harvest nest on you beautiful blog! I will hope Miss Maddy girl picks your lucky name as the winner!
