I Bought the Cutest Toy!

This is Dottie the Ladybug, and I found her at By Nanas Hands on Etsy. She's so cheerful, and soft, and squeezable, that I almost didn't want to part with her! I did though, and now my grandson is busy pulling on her wings and chewing on her antennae. Those parts were triple sewn, so he'll have to do a lot of pulling and chewing to get them loose. Check out By Nanas Hands if you have a minute. She has more super cute stuff--I think Tilly the Snapping Turtle may be on my shopping list soon.

Monkey Love

This is not really a photo of my new grandson. Well, yes, it is him in the picture, but he's not the reason I posted it. I got the darling monkey lovie next to him from The Monkey Shop--and Gabriel loves it. It's soft and cuddly, the blanket part is perfect for his tiny fingers to grasp, and the bright smiling face fascinates him. Dulce, the talent behind The Monkey Shop, has been crafting since she was four. It's obvious she makes each of her monkeys with love!
