handmade.

we're so lucky to have friends and family that have made each of our babies amazing handmade gifts.  the fact that someone takes the time out of their hectic schedules to make something never ceases to make me feel so incredibly blessed and lucky.

although you can't see much in this photo, this is carson's quilt from his nana.  andy's mom has made a quilt for each kid and the girls use theirs on a daily basis as they stay in their chairs in the living room.  they're often a part of forts, covering stuffed animals and recently they've become table cloths for their small table.

my aunt has also made each baby an afghan.  i'm super lucky as she always ask for my color preference to match their rooms.  this time i mixed it up a bit and asked her to use three colors in the ever popular chevron pattern.  which ironically, my mom has one quite similar to from when i was younger in the gorgeous shades of brown, mustard, avacado green and burnt orange.  love it's chunky texture and how it matches his room so well.
