knock knock: weaver of words
I always envisioned a little dark-haired, bright-eyed girl that would be Poet. And now she’s here. When a little gift arrived from Claire earlier this week I knew, in my heart, that Poet’s name is perfect for her. Seeing it on that gorgeous knock knock sign up there (the floral! the blooms! the colours! the stitching!) was enough – she is most definitely Poet. We sometimes call her Poe, or Poe Poe or Poppet. Che calls her Baby or Sooky La-La. She may weave words, she may not. All I know is that she’s weaved a lot of love into our family and our home.
Some things about Poet:
- She’s a wriggler – a mover and a shaker
- e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e says: “Oh those lips!” when they meet her
- And then they say “Her eyes are so big!”
- She’s very social, likes to be in on the conversation
- She drinks milk – a lot of milk, a lot of the time
- Her cheeks are getting mighty chubby
- She was born in the water, her birth sign is water and she is happiest in water
- Every night since she arrived she has slept next to me – oh so precious
- She reminds me that no matter what’s going on in our life, we are so blessed
I’m all for filling our home with beautiful heirloom pieces that will be treasured by us and by our children. Poet will, no doubt, have her knock knock sign for ever. And there’s something incredibly special about just that. Thank you Miriam for threading love into each and every (hand) stitch.

Oh precious sweet angel! Poet is a delight Jodi. She looks SO much like her Mama, that's who I see anyway. Love the name all up in floral like that, it's just beautiful and so meaningful to receive something made with love and by a friend's own two hands. Just an all round gorgeous post :o) xo

Poet is 'oh so' gorgeous! I'm so glad you liked the gift – Miriam is very talented and her creations are made with so much love and care to every detail.
When she sent me Eulalie's sign – I too was convinced of the name I had chosen… It's nice that you had a similar experience!

Ah Poe and poe poe, our Poe was named after we heard someone whose name was Poetry but they shortened it to Poe, it was a name that stuck with us for years. Oh sweet Poet, what a delight.

I couldn't agree more, Poet is delightful and perfect and gorgeous and adorable 🙂
That sign is quite beautiful too.
