This sweet new mother gift set was photographed and sent to me by one of my friends in Puerto Rico, Haydee.\u00c2\u00a0 Several previous posts on this blog\u00c2\u00a0have shown\u00c2\u00a0her work or ideas.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 As I have explained before, the language barrier prevents me from scoping out the details of these projects.<\/p>\n

Some of these featured items are shop samples, soon to be offered in upcoming classes.\u00c2\u00a0 Haydee is there either as a student or as a \u00c2\u00a0teacher– I just don’t know. I do know that\u00c2\u00a0there is always plentiful inspiration in the pics she sends.

It has been said that\u00c2\u00a0a picture is worth a thousand words.\u00c2\u00a0 If that is true, the bag and slippers are well described.<\/p>\n

It looks to me like the slippers are purchased and then embellished with a band of gingham puffing bound with bias and trimmed with a pleated fabric or ribbon ruffle.\u00c2\u00a0 The\u00c2\u00a0pink baby carriage\u00c2\u00a0 and\u00c2\u00a0blue train\u00c2\u00a0buttons look like they may have been covered with Hope Yoder’s button machine.\u00c2\u00a0 They offer\u00c2\u00a0interest and\u00c2\u00a0a\u00c2\u00a0pleasing\u00c2\u00a0textural contrast\u00c2\u00a0to the puffing.<\/p>\n

The curved,\u00c2\u00a0clean\u00c2\u00a0lines of the bag contrast nicely with the angles of the pocket.\u00c2\u00a0 The embroidery design is from Martha Pullen’s Ultimate Baby Layette<\/em> collection.\u00c2\u00a0 Don’t you just love the gingham\u00c2\u00a0bias scallops that frame the pocket?<\/p>\n

I love everything about this gift assortment.\u00c2\u00a0 What a pretty, useful\u00c2\u00a0present for a new mother!\u00c2\u00a0 The little teddy is a sweet addition to the set.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0The whole package\u00c2\u00a0looks like something that should go to the hospital with the new mama at the culmination of\u00c2\u00a0her 9 month wait.<\/p>\n

How fortunate are we to live in an age when a new baby’s gender can be determined in time for gifts to be made in something other than yellow or green.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
