Last weekend was the christening of little Jane Elizabeth. She was baptized with the name Janja, a Croatian word meaning “little lamb.” Janja is also the dear woman Jane was named for.
When Jane’s mama asked about a special blanket for the occasion, she had already searched this website and found the blanket I made for my own granddaughter’s baptism. What a pleasure it was to recreate this sweet lamb!
There was a small but meaningful bond I had with Jane Elizabeth as I worked on this for her—for my “maiden” initials (pre-marriage) are JEM too.
Blessings on your christening and most especially on your life, Janja. Such a wonderful name you have!

That’s another sweet little lamb! I love how the face can give it its own personality.
Yes! and when I asked about the color of Jane’s hair, I learned it is dark blonde. Of course, the lamb needed to match :)
