cheesecake next to Valentine's table display -- kisses, homemade valentines, pink calla lillies in a Navajo vase Ethan bought for me from someone at his work
Coco got to wear her 'funny' hat as her brother calls it on Valentine's Day. I made this hat out of a beautiful sparkly coral sweater from Anthropologie that was shrunk several years ago by Ethan. I knew eventually it would have a new life. And now it is a funny gnome-like hat. It is very light-weight but warm wool blend, and I made matching mitts for Miss Coco to wear when I can keep them on her. She has received several compliments/comments on this hat! I just cut free-form a pointy shape and seamed it up. Very easy. Very happy to have recycled this sweater! It should fit her at least until after her first birthday I think. And it went wonderfully with her pink/red outfit.
