3 Generations of Handmade Love...



Here is a 2-page 9x9 layout that I finished last week - I entered it in this month's CTMH Sassy Strands contest. I wrapped the #3 with Sassy Strands and then crocheted around the circle on the right page. I've really been second guessing my title since I've sent it in, though. I'm wondering if 4 generations would have been better than 3 - which would have made more sense to you? Here's what I did - tell me what you think about the title - I may change it for the layout I do for my book. I also wish I would have added something about the dress - it's the same dress that my two older girls and myself were blessed in - I believe my mom made it and tatted (?) on it - Mom, correct me if I'm wrong.








Here is the pull-out tag...

Wow, what a beautiful layout! I love all the detail you put into it. You can always add another journal tag to add more information. I bet you win something from CTMH!

To answer your question you left on my blog: My son is almost 8. He was ready for machine pitch. My daughter is alomst 6 and I still had her in T-ball. If they have coach pitch in your area I would put your daughter in that before machine pitch!

I think 3 is fine because the 3 of you are showing 3 generations of love to Brailee. Right?
I love the layout. I really struggle to do a lot with this paper, but you've made it look so beautiful all by itself.
Good luck!

Beautiful! You have to tell me how you crocheted around the circle! Was it difficult?
