Hi all. I have been wanting to do this post for a while, but I finally had time to get all the items and photos together! I just wanted to share some photos – knowing that they don’t do the items justice – of some special and handmade gifts that Nadia has received.
The outfit above was given to Nadia by Grandma Brooke on Labor Day. It brought tears to my eyes because it’s her adoption day outfit from 40 years ago. She has no children of her own and she wanted it to stay in the family. We were truly touched by this sweet gift.
This painting was done my Louanne’s sister Aunt Tahni. The verse is so wonderful and the painting matches all the other paintings in Nadia’s room perfectly.
The blanket above was made by Grandma Linda. It should be noted that this was made after she had a 3rd stroke, so quite a lot of effort went into it, but a side benefit was that it was good rehab for her. It’s stamped cross stitch.
This blanket was given to us by The Petermans and made by Randy’s mom Nancy. The photo doesn’t do the color purple justice….it’s a fantastic shade.
Grammie had this blanket embroidered for Nadia. The cute thing about it is that it’s small enough for her to cart around the house with her, even when she is crawling.
Karen and Ken M. had this crib sheet made for Nadia. It’s bright white with the red lettering and matches Nadia’s room colors. What a totally cute idea!
These 2 blankets and bibs were made by Aunt Sharon’s best friend Amy in MO. The blankets are not only cute, but soft and comfy.
This TOTALLY adorable hat was made by a woman who works with Mike, named Leigh. It’s the cutest thing and should keep Nadia’s head toasty this winter.
