A few blue things that are special to me...
1) My grandma's first embroidery. The label she wrote says that her grandma taught her how.
2) A quilt made by some special ladies at church. My husband bought it for me at a charity auction.
3) A quilt square made by my mom. She started the quilt for us for a wedding gift. It's not done yet (in fact, I think I'm supposed to finish it!), but I love her for taking this task on.
4) A doll baby from my younger days.
5) Some of my daughter's artwork. Really, anything blue reminds me of my daughter. It's her favorite color these days. And she had the biggest blue eyes as a baby. In the last year, they've started to turn a beautiful hazel/green/gray color.
6) Pottery. My mom's friend Judy makes wonderful pottery and I have a ton of it! You know when you go home to visit and there is a place you just have to go for food or something? I usually go to Judy's for pottery. :) (This piece is actually cracked, but I can't bear to part with any of it unless it's in many pieces.)
Such pretty blue things! Your daughter's artwork is beautiful!
