My name is Lisa Marie, I enjoy art projects and crafting.
My specialty and passion is the Heirloom Hanky Bonnet. Through-out the years I have made improvements by adding a stitch here and a fold there. My bonnets are not just a novelty but are made to be worn and can be hand-washed and pressed.

I have been making the heirloom baby bonnets since the 70's. That is when I was given my first bonnet for my daughter. Then I had my second baby girl but this time I made hers. I kept the bonnets in my sock drawer for 20 plus years. At my daughters wedding showers I presented both of them with the bonnets they wore home from the hospital. I read the poem to the guests; tears clouded my vision as I struggled to read. With a few sniped stitches the bonnets became the hankies they walked down the aisle with. The hankies were re-stitched into bonnets and worn home from the hospital by their daughters.

This is a beautiful tradition to be handed down and I'm so glad that I can be part of this history. For every bonnet I make, I say a prayer that God will send his angels to watch over each one of these precious gifts from God.

My sister Kimberly J is a wizard with the sewing machine and a glue gun. I call her lovely totes bags, "Adopt a Bag," because each tote is an individual. I only have a few of her bags because she hasn't been well enough to sew. Your prayers are appreciated.
