Lovely, delicate little handmade baby gifts, and sure to be treasured by the new mother.<br /><br />My mother, now 82 years old, many sweaters, hats and booties for all 13 grandchildren and some of her great grandchildren too. One year for Christmas, our adult daughter took all of the photos from our albums, wearing the handmade knit things she had made over the years, and put them into a special album for Mother. It was a truly sweet tribute to her special gifts to all of the children.Kathy Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10098056934345001536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-15969959817923902132011-06-16T22:37:34.506-05:002011-06-16T22:37:34.506-05:00Truly beautiful heirlooms from the heart and hand ...Truly beautiful heirlooms from the heart and hand -- nothing better for a little bundle of joy!

I still have the sweetest little ice skating outfit she made for my doll, Valerie. She tried to teach me, but I was hopeless.<br /><br />I'm with you on the swimming.

My husband's Aunt turned 100 years old and still crochets. Once you learn you don't forget. You have those beautiful keepsakes that you treasure. I gave the baby quilts to each of my kids that my mother made for them. The blocks were the size of a postage stamp. I feel so honored when one of my quilts is chose for a new baby. Have a great day.

Your mother did a beautiful job making it and I know it is something your niece will treasure for years to come. I had a couple of these sets for my new babies (who were born in 1956, 1957 and 1958...and 1965!!) A long time<br />ago when such things were more apt to be hand-made...I kept them, too.<br /> I am with you on the swimming! LOL<br />My son has a gorgeous pool, put in last summer, and Sarah and Kathryn have BEEN asking me to go and swim <br />there. I did buy a suit...gosh, I don't remember how many years it's been since I had one on, but I have yet to get it wet!!
