Things Made From Scratch

I have a lot of crafty and talented people in my life. I didn't realize this until the baby shower! So many of my family and friends sew, knit, crochet, scrapbook and I reaped the benefits last weekend! Baby Burling has so many beautiful things made with love - it's crazy!

Check out ALL of the things I received that were hand made.
Also known as "made from scratch!"

My friend Sara sewed this super cute bunny for baby


Cynthia knit and felted these little booties


Cynthia also made this cute blanket. Perfect for "tummy time"!
Blankets my mom made for the baby


My mom got really fancy with this one!


My sister Sherry went crazy with the knitting needles.
She made this cute teddy bear AND the sweater it's wearing.

I love this hippo!!

Little booties to keep baby's feet warm in the winter

Sherry also knit these super cute caps for the baby to keep his head warm.
I love this one!

One for baby when he's a little older

The one I will treasure the most is the blanket that my nieces made for their cousin. Sarah, Amy, Katie, and Emily (with the help of my sister Sherry) made this adorable "monster quilt"

Sarah's Dragon Block


Emily's monster with the heart.


Katie's Monster with eylelashes (hard to see them but they're there!)

Amy's monster with the crazy teeth. I hope baby doesn't have teeth like that.

As you can see - Baby Burling is a VERY LUCKY baby to have all of this stuff made from scratch!

Your family needs to open an Etsy shop...seriously! You all have skills; it must be genetic. :-)
