Recent projects

Along with many baby shower gifts, I whipped up a few things for my boy. This bib was made out of two old T-shirts from the hubs:
This little man is a drooler (his first tooth just popped up!), and at 6 months is learning to make his way around by happily slithering on his belly :)

If anyone has an Ergo baby carrier, then you know that your wee babe LOVES to suck on the straps. Here's a solution to washing the carrier constantly from drool and spit-up stains (the company also sells these, but they're pricey and the fabric isn't nearly as fun!):



Just un-velcro them and toss them in the laundry!


I got the idea from my friend over at http://www.rickstrewranch.com/2011/01/just-little-something-i-made.html and the tute came from http://www.lubirdbaby.com/2010/06/baby-suckingdrool-pads-for-ergo-baby.html.

The little princess attended her first birthday party recently, so Mama set out to make the newly-turned-three-year-old boy something special:

She's modeling his reversible cape (tute from http://pukingpastilles.com/?p=57). Here's the other side:


After realizing the cape was not staying at our house, she naturally wanted her own, so Mama set out to make a princess (warrior) cape:




With warm weather coming (well, it's here actually...76 today) and finding some cute fabric, I decided to make the little doll a sweet skirt:

It's pretty cute on, but the model was napping when the photo shoot occurred. What have YOU been working on lately? Even a healthy, tasty dinner counts! ;)
