Hi, Friends!
Sweet baby Leia was born 12-10-23. What a darling family photo of all of them. Chase is my hubby's nephew. The Mom is Schante. I'm not sure when I'll see the baby maybe some time this year. They live out west. Anyways, a new baby in the family...so precious!
I already sent a gift card to them and wanted to get a baby afghan made before the baby shower in October, but my hand and arm wasn't cooperating. It is much better now and I finished it yesterday evening. And, here is the afghan...
For the afghan, I used the suzette stitch with a single crochet and a double crochet in the same stitch. I usually make a baby afghan with the shell stitch, so I thought I'd try a new stitch. I added a pink satin bow to finish it off.
Also, I made a quick card with the baby's name on it...
I'm entering this card over at Time Out Challenges.
Ok, that's all for me today. I hope you are all doing well! Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today! Take care!
Hugs!
Oh, how precious, Maria. Nothing better than a new baby in the family. The baby Afghan is so beautiful and so is your card.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful baby and family. Like the gorgeous afghan and your card. Congratulations great aunt!
ReplyDeleteA precious baby girl and a lovely name, with a beautiful photo, As for the afghan, it's gorgeous, with sweet baby colours, love the card too. Just 'cause they're far away, doesn't mean we can't enjoy them through photography. That's how I enjoy my family.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful gift. Wish I could crochet. I once bought a set of crochet hooks thinking I would learn! Thanks for sharing that lovely family photo. Hope you get to meet the new arrival soon xx
