Baby Shower for Liz

The quilt for baby Konner is not done yet, so I made all of these this past week.

A nursing cover out of some of the new Amy Butler line, Love.

A diaper clutch (taggie toy in the back) to hold a travel size wipes and a diaper or two.

The taggie toy with two felt animals, turtle & goldfish. The taggie blankie has a blue minky fabric on the back.

3 fabric chunky blocks

A stuffed elephant... that I finished on the way to the baby shower.

Pirate Shirt

I know that it is way past Halloween, but I am just glad to have this post up before Thanksgiving. I took a HUGE white men's button down shirt and cut it up and constructed this pirate shirt. It was surprisingly easy.

The back of the shirt. I love the gathered part.

Another green w/ white polka dots tie (the first one got lost).

A space tie from the material that Todd picked out himself.

I found a feed bag at the flea market for $1 awhile back and just turned it into a bag... so now I have a feed bag... bag. I LOVE it. It is just such fun.

My Break...

I finished appliqueing the circles onto the current quilt I'm working on and needed a break. So... for a break I had fun making a tutu for Kate.

Just ignore the messy house and her diaper sticking out. I took some black satin ribbon and folded it over the edges to cover the chopped up tulle edges. I am loving it!

Also, I only had some white elastic, and did not want to go anywhere today, so I found a black laundry marker and colored the white elastic band.

Doll Wonderland

I have three dolls finished now. One for a preggo girly. One for a birthday girly. One for a Christmas girly.

A Folk Girl

Reminds me a little of Madeline for some reason.

A girly girl.

Halloween Costumes

Todd wanted to be a ghost for Halloween, so we got a sheet and chopped it up for him. His requirement was to have circle eye holes. His inspiration was the Ghost of the Forest book with the Berenstain Bears.

Since Todd was going to be something classic I wanted Kate to be something classic too. So she got to be Red Riding Hood. I am going to have her wear her green corduroy jumper under her hood and her cute black mary janes.
