So much! And yay for new creative skills. I learned to quilt over the holidays from my grandma. I have hand-knitted barbie doll clothes that my mom made for her dolls when she was little...they last forever.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15862778730342426392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8111358754142283806.post-9104487392043745252008-01-04T22:06:00.000-05:002008-01-04T22:06:00.000-05:00Aack.

Suppressing the cursed Lewis urge to go out and buy knitting needles and "whip" some amazing project together! ;) I already have embroidery books from the library to teach myself freehand embroidery. I guess I should stick with learning one new skill at a time. <BR/><BR/>So pretty. Please post pictures of your blocks when you're done! Hopefully you will complete them before action shots are possible! :PHeather@Cultivated Liveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141323325746602171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8111358754142283806.post-83602695867412897872008-01-04T11:07:00.000-05:002008-01-04T11:07:00.000-05:00Well, it is nice to finally have a name for the ba...Well, it is nice to finally have a name for the baby, or perhaps I haven't been paying attention and you'd posted it before. Lovely choice. As for the bib, it is too lovely to use! You did a splendid job. <BR/><BR/>My mother was an avid knitter, and created some of the most amazing things, including a dress for herself of a black yarn with blue metallic thread running through it, and a Barbie dress of the remnants for my doll. I am lacking in the patience for such projects, preferring mindless tasks that do not require study. I admire your tenacity!<BR/>TMorneryswifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13702378853361498700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8111358754142283806.post-11268578193969680702008-01-04T10:27:00.000-05:002008-01-04T10:27:00.000-05:00Evie said you'd taken up knitting!

In fact, I was hoping to surprise you with this, but since it's taken a bit longer than I anticipated, Evangeline will have to wait for her <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/luzbonita/2165538041/" REL="nofollow">gift </A> shortly after she's born.Luzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13414787504527315948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8111358754142283806.post-34596194489550635782008-01-04T09:51:00.000-05:002008-01-04T09:51:00.000-05:00It is gorgeous!
