A Winter Garden blanket for baby

Colorful blooms lifting their faces
         to the warmth of the winter sun~ 

A Winter Garden blanket
       for our newest little grandbaby, Kadence Noelle. 

delicate
        and dainty
                little flowers,
                            clinging to a frilly little
                                         vine~

~~with their faces smiling brightly --
                        a celebration for our newest, precious babe.

Just as in nature-
       No two flowers are alike~~

Look closely to see~~ bits of vintage lace, vintage buttons, cotton yo yo quilt pieces taken from a flea market find, crochet flowers, and tiny little leaves made from tulle~~ 

They dance across the bottom
                 of this little baby blanket
                                  (that took me absolutely forever to knit!)

~made with love~

even in the midst of winter-

new life springs forth~

A Winter Garden Blanket~

 How does your garden grow in winter?

I love sharing with you the little trousseau that I've created for our newest little granddaughter.  There are several more knitting posts to come yet -- so I hope you aren't bored already!  Coming up next --- one more little "frosty" blanket that was made for our babe.

Some updates~

The pink scarves are coming every week -- your generosity has absolutely just filled my heart with gratitude.  I will be devoting an entire post to these beautiful gifts very soon- and I am also creating a Pinterest board to showcase ALL of the scarves!

I'm already busy "nesting" this winter -- my hands never seem to stop --- and the first orders will be mailed out in the next week or so.  My Grow Your Blog party begins on January 19--- if you want to gain new followers and readers for your blog - be sure you sign up for the party- you are all invited!! So far there over 250 participants -- the opportunity to grow your blog is immense!!  The info is on my sidebar. The last date to sign up is January 15-- so that I have time to get all of the blogs loaded into the post -- whew- what a task!!!
