This dreamy, soft as a cloud blanket was carefully produced by my hubby Peter’s household in South Africa, originally a gift for Oliver as a infant ( he is now, almost 12), with close relatives stitching different animals together with their names, into each square.
My Mother-In-Law, Cathy is a skilled seamstress as well as each material jigsaw piece has been meticulously stitched by her as well as other relatives including Peter’s sibling Barry as well as other household members, making it an product to treasure as well as one which will be passed down to our own children’s kids as well as ideally theirs.
Not only is the piece aesthetically gorgeous however you can see the artist in their work with the stitching, ike brushstrokes in a painting.
The blanket is imbued with each relative’s character as well as style.
I feel the exact same with the crocheted as well as knitted blankets my cherished late Yiayia Annetta (Grandma Annetta) lovingly made me over the years, from birth up until my wedding event day as well as beyond. Wrapping myself, as well as my infants in these handmade pieces brings me better to their creators.
Now that Peter’s father David has passed, this blanket means more to us than ever.
We adore it. These meaningful, emotional gifts are always the best.
…Here are a few wonderful pics of Daddy’s girl, Florence! Her adorable M&S fair Isle style cardi is beyond cute, don’t you think? Her 0-3 clothes are still as well roomy (hence the socks on top of the sleepsuit) however she’s putting on weight as well as thriving!
