waste not, want not

A little while ago I received the gift below that came beautifully wrapped in fabric and ribbon. (A copy of 'The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding'  thank you Alison and Raewyn!)

I kept the wrapping as it seemed like something that could come in handy later on. Sure enough - in a gesture rather remniscent of Fraulein Maria outfitting the von Trapp brood in playclothes fashioned out of old drapes ("Is it possible - or could I have just imagined it - have my children by any chance been climbing trees today?") - Granny came to the party and whipped up a wee pair of rompers for Daisy.

As you can see, Daisy is pretty happy with them!
