You Know How When You’re a Baby You Think Your Mom is Awesome Because You Don’t Know Any Better?
Well sometimes you grow up and think your mom is pretty awesome too. Even though you’re all grown up and you know you don’t HAVE to think that anymore.
So yeah – Mama’s mom is kind of awesome. For many reasons, but since we are focusing on hand craftables this week let me show you the ways this crafty lady kinda rocks.
First off she made Fiona a little baby quilt just after she was born. Then she made another. And another! And they are all total beauties:
They are perfect for living room play sessions:
And have all those really fun colors and details:
Perfect for lounging around outside and taunting the dog with his ball. (Did i say taunting? I meant playing. Totally playing.)
And because my mom is so rockin she even has her own Etsy shop!
So go on over and check out Poppety Quilts. Because, well, the lady who runs it is a pretty crafty hip grandma!*
* Full disclosure: Mama was in no way paid, compensated or coerced into writing this post. Her parents learned long ago that their powers of coercion ran out around the age of four with her.
Fiona is so pretty, Hannah! And lucky are you that your Mom has made Fiona these beautiful quilts?!
Thanks for stopping by the other day. I know what you mean about B&W images being in shades of grey. Taking photos with great contrast (having a bright window in the shot helps) and doing a gradient B&W conversion in Photoshop has helped my B&W images a lot. I used to use the B&W conversion in iPhoto and my shots ended up being shades of grey. Hope that helps you out.

Thanks Jen! I’m going to try that on the black and whites. I’m lighting challenged too but I figure the more shots I take the better I’ll get. (I hope!)
