Color of the Day is Cream

When I think of Color of the Day is Cream for today’s challenge the first thing that comes to my mind is whipped cream on top of ice cream. But actually whipped cream isn’t cream colored so that won’t work for color of the day but I have something much sweeter!

Just before Lia was born on August 23, 2018 a dear friend of mine brought over a package for Alexandra. I took it to the hospital the day she was in labor. When Alex opened the package there was a beautiful hand crocheted cream colored baby blanket. The yarn was so soft, the pattern was exquisite and it was a gift made with love. A handmade item is more than a gift, it’s a gift from the heart and one that Alex and Lia will treasure. We hung the blanket over the side of the bed and waited for Lia to arrive.

After a long 18 hours of labor this beautiful blanket was wrapped around precious Lia Faith. A gift like this is something to cherish and pass down through generations to come. Alex can pass this blanket down to Lia if she has a litte one. However that will be a long time because she’s been told no boyfriend until she’s 30 years old! LOL

This angel is one from my Angel collection. My daughter gave it to me a few years ago and I love the cream background accented in gold and silver. I keep her on the top shelf of the collection so she can look over all the other angels.

These are a few more from my collection. The ones on the left are a variety of Willow Tree Angels, all were given to me as gifts throughout the years. The other picture are just a few other cream angels, I like the two little cherub angels kissing each other and the three praying in a circle. The larger one in the background is cream ceramic with gold outlining her wings and hemline. You might say I love angels!

I started out wondering what I would come up with for cream and what it would turn out like. I think for cream, the crocheted baby blanket and angels are perfect for the Color of the Day is Cream.
