Little Gifts for a One Year Old

On The long weekend I had a 1st Birthday to go to and while I had bought a gift already I wanted to add a little something to go with it so I pulled out some flannel (receiving blankets that were no longer needed) and some too small baby bath towels from my sewing stash and made a few little gifts to go with it. and finally since I keep all of my daughters paintings to re-use, That is what we warped the gift up in.
