Something Old(ish), Something New
Long-time readers may recall I wove a little cotton baby blanket a while back (something old-ish).
It's a simple pattern of stripes of naturally colored cottons (in a sage green and khaki) against a bed of creamy white. VERY soft and cuddly.
It's been sitting in one of my "finished projects" plastic bins - done all but the hemming and a final wash and dry (machine washable!!). Last week, however, I had a very good opportunity to pull it out and get it finished-finished.
Introducing "something new" - born last Saturday, the 6th, and already at home and doing well with his mum, dad and big brother, our new nephew, Charlie.
Ain't he a cutie? We feel sure nephew Will has already told Charlie everything there is know about horses. He is the expert, after all, being best boyfriend to Hap, the wonder horse.
All for now......
Congratulations!
(Seriusly, brothers named Will and Charlie? That's like the Mayo brothers! http://www.mayoclinic.org/tradition-heritage/brothers-practice.html)

Nice blanket - I'm impressed that you weave, too. And a cute baby. Hap will never like him as much as Will, of course. Charlie will have to settle for Diggs....
