I've been enjoying the frequent posting, so here's to hoping they won't peter out!

Auntie A is a bona fide obsessed quilter. I think she could also teach a class in Gifts for the Handmade-Aware Child or something like that. She whipped up a few things that Eva just went ape over, including the Christmas bear in the Hanukkah sleeping bag above. (So cool because if you got a Christmas bear at a store, it would not have a Hanukkah sleeping bag.) Also the Softies book. (So cool because I stole it from my daughter.) And a little photo iron-on pillow featuring Eva and Hen. (So cool because your own cat is on your pillow.) And the queen of them all, a piece of fleece yardage machine embroidered with two cats and the words, "Eva loves Hen and Edgar". (So cool because it actually declares your love for your actual cats! Unbelievable!) So in case you're looking for ideas for a seven-year-old in your life...

Loved your usage of the phrase "so cool". Made me chuckle!

I amofficially famous! Aunt Jen, Dorie's mom, is helping me arrange my pig pile, aka my sewing rooms! Who am I? I didn't sew on a button until 1998, I still don't unless Bernina makes the attachment! Now I am a self-described fabricaholic. I am a compulsive over crotchetier (spell check told me this word!), quilter, and embroiderer. I have 8 grandchildren from 4 children. I was a stay at home mom-loved it- and a LLLI leader. I went to college and graduate at age 42. MA at 45, Ph.D. at 51. Now I am Dr. Auntie A, work 3 days a week and sew and craft to my heart’s content!
Eva is an extraordinary child who found something different and truly observant to say about each gift she received! Not only is she very beautify, she is a loving and talented little girl.
