Sweet Little Grace

Sweet little Grace is the first child of some young friends of mine. In honor of her birth, Grace received a custom handwoven baby blanket in shades of pink, brown, and green, as requested by her mom.

Here's a picture of Grace going for a ride, comforted and warmed by her hand made cotton flannel blanket, which coordinates perfectly with her hat.


I'd love to make a custom baby blanket for your wee one, too. Choose your own colors, fabric, and type, give me a few months, and your blanket with be made to order.

Fiber Fest

On Saturday I went to the Knox Farm Fiber Festival in East Aurora.  The weather was initially pleasant, then go so windy that vendors' tents were in grave danger of making it to Kansas.

I think alpacas have really sweet faces, and they are reportedly very gentle animals.
