After a glorious foretaste of Spring a blast of wind chilling cold returned and stoked Charlotte's creative bent towards thoughts of snow. She was occupied this morning with making snowflakes with cupcake papers, coffee filters and a pair of scissors. After scotch taping them to her bedroom windowpanes and the door she visited the magic of simple play snow.
The baby sweater.....completed and the cute buttons, that Rose chose this go round, sewn on snugly.The shawl collar was different, but it is what charmed me to this pattern in the first place. It would definitely only be practical on an older baby, but since he will be at least seven months old upon wearing it I believe it will do grandly.
Waiting ......now I can put my attention on the Baby Shower Tea I will be hosting for his mother on the first Saturday in March. If he only knew all the wonderful thoughts the "outsiders" are having about him.

What nice special treatment for mother and baby! The sweater is really cute!
I know a really great book that has snowflake patterns. It's called A Snowflake For All Seasons, by Cindy Higham. I had a great time with my story time kids cutting out snowflakes with everything from snowmen to valentines to pumpkins on them.
Paper snowflakes are so fun. Your daughter's are great!
That is very cute. I have only crocheted one baby blanket and that was for my daughter's new baby. That was two years ago and now I've forgotten how. I do admire crocheted items.
