We had a nice visit with my sister, her husband, and my beautiful 11 month old niece the past few days. My sister has taken up a new obsessive hobby of crocheting, and my youngest child has just reaped the benefits of her new passion.
My littlest has always loved owls. Her bedroom is entirely filled with the big-eyed creatures, and her love for the birds hasn't dwindled as she's getting older. So my sister created (in a span of two days, mind you) a sweet little owl-faced hat. When she put it on, I had the automatic response of pulling out the camera.
It made me think of how touching adding a simple prop such as a handmade item like a hat or a dress can be; it makes an image so special and memorable. One day she might outgrow this hat, but she can glimpse back at herself and think about how special it was that a beloved aunt made something so unique for her.
