Speaking of my Mum
One of the nicest things about having a baby is the outpouring of home-made gifts. A mate made her this hat:
Friends of my mother made this blanket:
and decorated this piggy bank:
My Mum loves to knit and could probably win prizes at country (or even city) shows if she was so minded. Winnie has three beautifully matching hat, jumper and bootie sets, a crocheted shawl, 12 little shirts with individual embroidered things on them including frogs, clowns and soccer balls and a wonderful embroidered cot blanket. It's a joy to look at all these lovely tiny things.
But she has set the bar pretty high. Even though Winnie's other grandmother isn't so craft-y, she made this bear:
Beloved and his family reckon it looks like Homer Simpson with ears. They teased her about it non-stop for days.
I really hope it becomes one of WInnie's favourite toys.

That teddy bear looks fantastic. I hope it becomes one of Winnie's favourites too.
And if it doesm't, I can embarrass her by making her take it to Sydney FC games until she's in high school.
