Brother's Birthday Card

This is an attempt on a masculine card. I think I failed, but I like the card anyway.

Mother's Day cards

At stamp night last night we did embossing. It inspired me to break out my embossing supplies and make mother's day cards. I think they turned out quite cute. The top card is for my mother in law and the bottom card is for my mom. Now I need to make cards that are from my son to his grandmas.

Update on split nine patch

I added boarders. Now I just need to back it, quilt it, and bind it. I'm excited to have it done. I love all the bright colors. It measures 42" x 42".

I heart nap time!

Today during my son's morning nap I was able to get the three blankets made and put a tie on one of his onesies. Our house is a mess so I decided to clean up by working a few projects that have been taking up space. I wanted some summer blankets for my son, so these are made of cotton on both sides. (Except for the jungle--it is flannel on one side and cotton and the other). I like how the cotton blankets hold up. Flannel starts to get dingy looking after awhile.

Now, off to clean the house!

Birth Announcement

This is a birth announcement that I made for my friend's baby boy. It has the fabric that is in the nursery set that she made. I hope she likes it. I guess we'll find out at the baby shower on Tuesday.

Church Clothes

I have seen these cute onesies a number of places, but I was never willing to pay what was being asked, so I decided to make my own. I love them! I have one more that I need to make to match some orange and navy plaid short that I just bought my son. He is becoming so active and puts everything in his mouth, I wanted something quick and easy for him to wear to church that he couldn't destroy!

I've been working

on lots of projects... This weekend I made some pacifier clips for my son and for a baby shower that is coming up. I had been wanting to make some for a long time, but didn't know how to go about it until I found the instructions here. I love the button idea.


These clips are for the two gals at work that are having baby girls. They each get two.


Some of these clips are for my son, and some are for the two gals at work that had baby boys. The shower is coming up on the 28th. I hope they like them and find them useful.

I don't know what I do without mine...my boy is entertained by the ribbon and keeps him from fussing when he is in the car or at church.

Hooded bath towels

My little boy has outgrown is baby hooded towels, so I'm making him new ones. I can't wait to get them all finished. Here is one of the three I've done with one on the machine in progress. I'll take pics when all three are done. I can't wait to have bigger towels for him so he's not so cold after a bath.

My baby's brag book

I started my baby's brag book of his firsts. This is the title page. The picture is poor because I didn't use a flash because I got a glare. I can't wait to finish the book. It is a 6 x 6 album.

3 by 6 card

This is a card I made for my friend's birthday. I think it turned out cute. I like that it fits in a regular sized envelope so I don't have to buy invitation envelopes.
