and here is a picture of the wrapped gift. i wanted to show my wrapping because i am especially proud of the finger knitted yarn that my oldest, C, made. she made it with rainbow colored yarn and i thought it looked really nice with the tissue flower i made to top off the gift.
i didn't get any pics of my niece opening her gifts as my camera had run out of batteries and i didn't have time to recharge them. but i can tell you that it was one of the first gifts that she opened. and when she saw the pillow, she stopped opening the rest of her gifts and just took off to her room to take a nap. she was so happy to have a small pillow and she loved the little rabbit! it took her a while before she finally let go of her bunny pillow and agreed to open the rest of her gifts. it made me so happy to see that my handmade gift was enough for her to make her happy! of course, she also liked her other presents, but mine was the only handmade present and i'm glad that it stood up to the competition!
