When we were trying to get pregnant with my oldest son, I decided I wanted to make my baby's christening gown. I found a wonderful thread crochet pattern and set to work. This is the result...
Christening gown, hat and booties...crocheted in '96...worn by all three of my boys.
Close up of buttons and hat...I couldn't find buttons I liked so I bought the beads in the right color and made these buttons.
Close up of the front of the bodice and the booties.
I hope I get to use this one more time.

One of my most prized gifts to my baby girl from you is the exact same set you made for her. It's a treasure!
Wow, how gorgeous, Kristin! I have a beautiful outfit that was handmade for us when we got pregnant with our first girl...all 3 of the girls have worn it. I'm looking forward to the day when their girls will get to wear it.

You did a great job. Very nicely done.
Beautiful work, Kristin! So wonderful to have something handmade with so much love, shared by all your boys.
Thanks for stopping by my blog - I left a comment there about the washing machine - but basically, you just chuck the veggies in on cold and run the cycle. It worked great!
You are one talented lady.

Absolutely beautiful! As a fellow crocheter, I can truly appreciate all of the hard work and love that went into those garments. I'm soooooooooo glad you had the opportunity to use them, more than once, and with hopes to use them again.
