A Gift


My niece was born three weeks ago and she is the love of my life. Every time I see her, hold her, or hear her making noise or crying I just fall more and more in love with her. I don't know how it is possible to be more in love with her than I already am, but my love just keeps growing and growing. Besides buying her tons of clothes and other little baby items, I crocheted her a baby blanket. Here are a few pictures of it.

I used four different kinds of threads for this blanket: white, yellow, and two different pinks. I've made a lot of baby blankets for other family members and friends of the family, I'm finally getting around to making my own blanket (not a baby one) and I can't wait to use it!
