Crochet Baby Gifts

The pattern for the sweater is the Cecily Baby Cardigan by Alicia Paulson. I used Rowan Yarn Cashcotton DK in Clear. I loved this yarn and I don't know that they even make it anymore. I found it in the discount bin at Nina's in Chicago and haven't been able to find it on the Rowan Yarn website. It's very soft and the color is my favorite. I'm always drawn to soft blues.



The pattern for the booties was from this Etsy seller.


First Snow Fall of 2009




Joe was being nice daddy and threw a snow ball at Eleanor, but she caught it!









Thanksgiving 2009



This year, my sister Kate, Eleanor and I made a trip down to Ohio to surprise my Grandparents for Thanksgiving. We drove down and spent the first night at the Manchester Inn, the hotel that my grandfather use to manage. They were very surprised to see us and it was nice to be together. They don't get many opportunities to visit with their great granddaughter.
