Sweet New Baby

 
Hi, there!
 
TGIF!  Seems like ages that I've been here posting a card.  I've had the flu off and on all week...grrr!  But, anyways I managed to make a baby card for a baby shower in a couple weeks.  My nephew's wife will be having a baby girl, Taylor, next month...how exciting!  I crocheted an afghan, bought a couple outfits, and cross stitched Taylor's name onto this darling little monkey...
 

 
 
 
I didn't have a pattern to copy from, so I had to wing it.  Her name isn't exactly spaced correctly, but I still think it's adorable!  The guys are invited to the shower, too...so fun!  They are to bring diapers and wipes.  And, they'll be off in another room having their own party!
 
I posted the afghan back in January and I'm now using it as a gift.  I like to have a couple made up beforehand.  I have a blue one done.  And, I'm finishing up another white one. 
 
Well, that's all for now!  I hope you have an awesome weekend!  Thanks for dropping by!  Take care!
 
Hugs,
Maria
