Africa and Penguins…Odd I Know

I just wanted to post two items I finished recently…This first order was placed by my sister-in-law Kim, who is married to my brother Chris. Chris works with a woman who, with her husband is adopting a little 5 year-old-girl from Ethiopia. They are going to Ethiopia soon to pick her up and Chris and Kim wanted to give them something special for their new daughter. Chris talked with the mom and she wanted one of the Africa shirts, but asked if I would add a heart stitched over Ethiopia. I aim to please.

This next shirt is for Harper. This kid loves animals in general, but when she saw Hud’s penguin shirt I made for him, she just loved it. She always wants him to wear it, so I decided to just make her her own penguin shirt and she was absolutely delighted. She kissed her penguin and toted him around and was thrilled to wear him. She enjoys talking about his “flipper fins”…I love that she loves this shirt.
