Back when I was teaching,
I featured my Art Assistant Alyssa Olea often.
First as my Ceramics student,
then T.A.,
and she actually came back after she graduated High School
and assisted me a few days a week as her second job
while putting herself thru college.
I featured her wedding to her High School sweetheart Lucien Morales
but what I haven't shared yet is that they are pregnant.
The baby is due soon in December and for her shower I gifted her a baby sweater
I had knit several years in this post.
Back when I posted about it I thought it was destined for my step daughter Julie,
but she seems to only produce boys and she and hubby have decided NO more.
And since my daughter Dani had a boy I thought it was time to let it fly away.
The original post of it is much brighter and nicer if you are interested.
So anyways,
I'm super excited to see this on her little girl.
Probably won't be till later in 2024 as it is for a 3 month old or so.
I'll keep you updated when I receive that pix.
Besides the yummy Noro yarn I used from Japan,
my favorite part of the sweater were the antique buttons
from my husbands mothe 's button box.
Her family called her Cappy.
I never got to meet Cappy but her son tells me she sewed all her own clothes
and was quite the fashion plate and as well as a character.
I love that !
