it’s hard to be a baby
Blake: Here’s looking at you, kid.
Nora had her baby blessing on Sunday. I have never been so scared in my entire life, as I was the one who was giving the blessing. Though not a saving ordinance, I felt the pressure of the eternal judgment of family if I screwed things up. Fortunately I have the cutest, best baby in the world who was happy and smiled at me the whole time. Thanks for the support, honey.

When I hung up the letter hooks in Nora’s bedroom, it started an addiction that could only be fed by adding more hooks. Blake hung some little brass hooks in my craft closet for me that are now holding gift bags, and I ordered three more hooks from Restorers (through Amazon) for Nora’s room.
I knew I wanted to hang her blessing dress and the gorgeous handmade blanket she got from her anonymous “secret grandma,” but that left one empty hook and a long narrow space in the middle. With Sarah’s help, I brainstormed an accessory holder.
Here’s the result:

I’m really happy with how it turned out, and the whole thing took less than two hours to make. Endless variations are possible to suit your needs and tastes. Instructions and the materials I used are after the jump, if you’re interested.
