My mom is so crafty that it slays me sometimes. She is constantly whipping up something with her hands. If I had to guess, she's made everyone in the family a new homemade Christmas ornament for about 20 years now. How amazing it that? Crochet is her passion, and she does a great job with it. We, meaning mostly our kids, are so blessed to be on the receiving end of her hobby. I am always giddy when I see a package come in the mail. I probably get more excited to see what 'grammy' has made for the kids then they do! It never ceases to amaze me that she keeps coming up with new things to make them. And they are so stinking cute too. Perhaps someday I'll do a full photo feature of her handiwork, but for today we'll stick with her latest--a tea party set. For Valentines day none the less.
The little set has a tea pot with lid, two adult cups and saucers, four kiddo cups and saucers, eight cookies, four of each fruits--apples, peaches, strawberries, along with little serving bowls to hold the 'goodies', and a handy little bag to store them in.
I wasn't sure how it would go over to only pretend to have a tea party instead of doing the real thing. But it was an instant hit! The best part was watching Wesley pour the tea, complete with sounds. I decided that in an effort to keep this treasure away from the black hole that presides in our home, I would keep it tucked away in my closet. That way someday when I'm a 'lita' (yes, call us crazy but Phil and I already know what we want our grandbabes to call us, Pito and Lita), I'll have the complete set still.
Ok, enough babble, on with the pictures! Apology in advance, I just cannot figure out how to rotate pictures on here, so bear with me and tilt your head to the side for full enjoyment, and I know I kinda went overboard on the photos, but my mom lives eight hours away and hasn't seen her 'grands' since Christmas :)
