I am in baby heaven! Little Charm was born this past week. She is just beautiful! She weighed 9 pounds and is 21 inches long. That is a really big baby for her tiny, less than 5 feet tall, mommy! Her given name is Delaney Kate but I've been calling her Charm for so long that changing over is going to be tough for me. She is a
charmer to be sure with her beautiful pink plump cheeks and perfect little round head! Her sweet mommy had a rough time but all is well in the end. God is so good....all the time!
I just had to make a little bonnet to go with the drawstring nightie I made her. Her mommy had said 'no bonnets' but I called this a 'cap' because it is the plainest little bonnet I've ever made! I don't think it counts as a bonnet so I didn't really break the 'rules'. Right?
I just drew a swirly line on the brim section and embroidered flowers in the colors I used for the smocking and embroidered roses on the nightie.
I used the same silk satin ribbon to adorn the sides of the 'cap' as I used to closed the bottom of the nightie.
I have a feeling that this cap won't fit for long, although it is supposed to go up to size 13 pounds. I hope Lauri uses it! More to come!
Very pretty, Karen. I bet it was killing you not to add lace and frills to this!! But it is really lovely in its simplicity.
ReplyDeleteI love both her given name and Charm. The "cap" is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, ladies! You are right, Laura!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! I love to give bonnets and always tell the mothers that even if never worn by the baby, it can still be worn by her dolls or teddy bears. I think this one will be worn by Charm!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great point that Jan made...My sweet Caroline is always putting hats & scarves & what not on her AG doll. I'm glad you made the "cap"...her mother will the happy to have it one day. It is BEAUTIFUL, Karen!
