Whoa Baby!

Last year was the year of the weddings, so that means it is time for the year of the babies! I have two good friends due this spring. My friend Kate just had her baby shower last weekend. Going along with my plans to make most of my gifts, I made her several baby gifts. I have so many ideas of things to make, but somehow just not the time lately it seems. I found some very cute fabric at the big craft fair I went to in december. It was a dark cream linen with animals and french words on it. I made her a set of burbing blankets (like the ones I made for Chasse last year). I think they turned out pretty cute, and were a hit at the shower. Unfortunately when my computer hard drive crashed these pictures were lost:(
Luckily I do have a picture of the bib I knitted. This idea I got from a family friend's daughter who has been knitting a lot of her babies clothes. The bib was an easy project. I used a soft cotton yarn. Curious to see how it wears over time.
