Nancy asked me to make two baby bibs for her friends. It's hard to say no to Nancy. She just sent me Season 6 of Dexter on DVD, and she never told me to get my act together when my baby present to her ended up being 4months late.
This is a tomato bib for Julian.

This is obviously a bib for Ella. (Also, stitching in cursive embroidery is one of my things.)
Apparently I made a customized bib for Ella's older sister a few years ago. Now that I've been reminded of this, I vaguely remember it (I think), but honestly, once I finish something and give it away it's very much out of sight, out of mind. Anyway, apparently Ella's mom liked the first bib very much and framed it, and very much wanted a bib for her second child. When someone likes what you've made that much, it's hard to say no. It also puts a lot of pressure on the second attempt; she could take one look at this and say "I was going to frame it, but actually, I'll just use it and let it get stained with mashed sweet potato instead". (Speaking of which, I never ever mind when things that I make get used and spoiled. Sweet potato stains come with bib-making territory, after all.)
