Snaps Suck.

Well, I finally finished something, believe it or not.
It's a bib for my soon-to-arrive cousin, made from an old shirt of Lennox's, a plaid flannel remnant, and some painstakingly embroidered goldfish...that are shaped like danios. (Oops.)

Why anyone would spend that much time on something that a kid is just going to smear food all over is anyone's guess. Personally, I blame The Crazy. Also, embroidering is fun if you just make it up as you go along, as I did here.

It's hard to see, but the seaweed has little curlicues on the end.

The topstitching looks awful, and I pounded my finger with a hammer inserting the snaps, but all in all -- I think it'll be fine to catch baby drool. Also, it has a subliminal message for the kid: The lone fish in the upper left corner, the one that has broken away from the school is my own subtle code to tell the baby that he should be as nonconformist as possible, and that he should always think for himself.

Might be a little over his head for the moment, but the thought is still valid.
