Nesting.

When I hear a friend is having a baby, my first thought is, "What can I make them?".

Well, actually. That's my second thought. My first thought is, "YAY! I love babies!!!"

 

I almost always come back to this adorable Henny Penny and her little chicks. 

The pattern is from Anna Maria Horner's book Handmade Beginnings.

So when I heard that our sweet and adorable friend was pregnant with her first 

and that it was a little boy, I pulled out Handmade Beginnings off of my bookshelf and got to cutting out. We decided to go with a slightly more boyish color scheme, while still choosing a print that would be suitable for Henny Penny herself. 

She has six adorable chicks tucked under her wings too.

I think she's happy with that.
