Not too long after hearing this news they decided to go the adoption route. They knew it might be a while before they would actually be able to adopt. To their surprise, things moved faster than they thought and by the end of the summer they were new parents to a bouncing baby boy that they adopted.
I wasn't able to attend the shower that was given for them, but I was able to make a gift for them that I hope would mean a lot to them.
I am a big fan of Dee over at http://www.redletterwords.com/ While I didn't have the cash to purchase a canvas for this sweet new family; I did have a blank canvas, some paint and paint brushes. I decided to make my own with scripture on it. I also made a receiving blanket with a crochet edge. Giving homemade gives me great joy.
Here is the canvas that I painted with 1 Samuel 1:20 scripture on it.
I really lucked out finding this fabric at JoAnn's. Love the faith, hope and love circles in different colors on the fabric and the crocheted edge just completes the whole blanket with a little pop of color.
What have you made lately?
