Sequoia has been very fortunate to have received some beautifully handcrafted clothes from a few of her admirers. One of the people spending countless hours toiling with the needles and yarn is Sequoia's Great Grandma Dot - Colleen's grandmother on her father's side of the family. Here are a couple of the sweaters that she has sent her so far.

They are obviously sized for Sequoia to fit in to next fall and winter when it gets a bit colder again, but we could not resist seeing how she is going to look in them. I particularly love the red sweater in this picture.

I think that Colleen is a bit more fond of this pastel number that is complete with a very sweet and feminine headband and bow. I'm warming up to the whole girlie motif, but honestly I'm still holding out for a bit of a tom-boy since I'd like to be able to talk to my baby girl at least a little bit.

Here Sequoia is reclining on a beautiful and soft afghan that Great Grandma Dot made for her. Again, many people have taken the time to make Sequoia things, and I apologize if I slight anyone by not mentioning them on the blog. This is certainly not intended to be an all inclusive reliable source. Trust me when I say that the three of us have been overwhelmed with the outpouring of kindness we have received while we bumble through this process. We cherish each and every act of kindness and especially treasure those items that have special stories and histories behind them.
