Today I am meeting a Flickr friend for lunch. She is young enough to almost be my granddaughter ('course I would have had to be a teenage bride, I suppose.) Anyway, my friend is going to have a baby in May (I think, it's May??) Now, how could I possibly go to lunch knowing that without a gift? Luckily, I have a closet upstairs that is filled to the brim with girls clothes that I made for years.....but not since August 2008 when I started quilting. And, luckily, she is having a girl. Awwww.......how convenient, huh? I hope she'll like it:
It amazes me that I used to do such teeny tiny hand embroidery:
In today's world, this mug rug is more my style:
Have a happy day, friends! And a happy weekend too.................

Oh Carol that little Angel top is so sweet, and the embroidery beautiful, but I think you must make a little smocked dress for this baby when she arrives.....no pressure though.
Gosh - what a contrast between the baby outfit and your work these days. Its very pretty and will look delightful on a little baby.
She would be crazy not to love this!!! This absolutely adorable!
Carol, you know I LOVE the outfit and it is so special to me! I can't believe all the tiny details and honestly wish that baby was coming a bit later so that this could be her coming home outfit. We'll have another lunch date when it fits her so that you can see her in it in person!
Awwww, I remember when you were doing these tiny, precious outfits! How nice of you to gift your friend one of them. It is beautiful & you always did/do such nice work, Carol.
Hugs,

How cutsie! I thought that was what embroidery was...tiny stitching. Maybe I don't do the right kind of embroidery. Froggie is so funny!
What a lovely little thing. It's so pure girly.
The frog is funny. :o)
That outfit is one of the most beautiful things I have seen - I would have loved to receive it for my daughter. Your friend must have been thrilled.
such a cute little dress, your friend will be pleased.
