Craft update

A little craft update since I can't sleep (again). As you know, my nephew Brady was born a couple weeks ago, and I embroidered his name on a (decorative, not functional) bib. I've done this for many of the special kids in my life. Here's Brady's:



Not my best work, but those bibs are hard to work with.

Also, I finished my dad's christmas gift, and now that he's opened it, I can share:



I think he liked it. The idea was to spend no more than $4.44 on a gift, and since I had all the materials for this on hand - fabric, embroidery floss, frame - it was basically free.

Next I'm working on some gifts and some decorative stuff for the wedding. And eventually the "Unity Quilt" of course.
