Now I won't ruin the surprise!

Julie made some wonderful gifts for my new grandniece, Lily -- and I've been wanting to post these photos, but didn't want to ruin Cynthia's surprise when the package arrived in the mail. Now that I know everything arrived intact and safe, I can show off Julie's craftsmanship...
These photos don't do justice to the work in this cross stitch! It's not visible, but there's a leaf pattern on the surface of the green matte too... lots of special touches.

This 2-sided fleece blanket that Julie made was a freakin' cat magnet! As soon as I started arranging the photo, all three of them came out of nowhere and acted like it was the most amazing thing since canned cat food.
The pattern on this fabric is really cute. And just look at that little monster! She's plotting something sneaky...
