It was my best effort at the time, my daughter thanked her, and went on opening the gifts. Everyone else at the shower was impressed with my efforts.
My first was 37 years ago for my nephew given at a shower before he was born. As it was being passed around someone said that is hand made. My sister piped up and said "Oh, no, it isn't. It's from my sister." Everyone had a good laugh. I took some photos lately and I will post them soon.
