Recent nursing covers

I have not completely fallen off the grid--I did recently make these two nursing covers. In case anyone is interested, I can make at least one more of each of these :-)

Baby girl items

A friend asked me to put together some girly items for her niece, and I had a lot of fun working on them. I made three burp clothes, two bibs, and diaper clutch. Thankfully, my friend liked all of them, and I hope that they are enjoyed and well-loved (i.e., used a lot!).

Baby set--Feeling Groovy

Playmat for Leslie (and baby Judah)

This playmat is similar to one I made last year for my good friend L.A. out of Wonderland fabric. Leslie contacted me about making one for her soon-to-be born little boy, and we had a lot of fun discussing color schemes and themes. As you can see, we went with lime green/aqua blue/orange/brown with boyish prints (animals/giraffes/guitars). It was a fun process to plan out, and I love the way it turned out. I had problems the first time I made this playmat, but this time I hand-tied the quilt and added a few buttons--and it turned out really cute. Enjoy!!

Homemade Swiffer pads

I am the proud owner of a Swiffer WetJet. I just don't like paying so much money for the refill pads and the refill juice. As I was folding up some old cloth diapers (that I use for cleaning rags), I realized they are the same size as the Swiffer. Feeling inspired, I cut up a couple of the cloths, added some velcro and created re-usable Swiffer pads.

Adorable baby blanket

I bought this adorable flannel a couple of months ago when it was on sale at JoAnns. I didn't have anything in mind for it, but I love it! I made a cute little baby blanket that could be used for swaddling or cuddling. I haven't designated a recipient yet, so if anyone is interested in it, let me know:-)

Diaper clutch in the best fabric ever (Go Dawgs!)

The latest nursing cover

This was an order for a friend who has given my nursing covers to several friends (thanks, KA!). I added a small pocket in the upper corner for stashing those necessary items (like runaway nursing pads! At least, mine always seemed to disappear...)

Contents of the placemat purse

Earlier I showed you the Placemat Purses I made for a ladies event. I wanted you to see all of the wonderful goodies we put in the bags as well:



This is my bag (Yay! I got to keep one:-) with a scarf from Turkey, a decorated clipboard, Lindt chocolate truffles, printed tissues and handsanitizer, a Bible, and notecards with a pen. Not shown are the Altoids (which I quickly moved to my other bag) and the monogrammed earrings. It was a WONDERFUL gift bag!

Quilted Bibs x4

My wonderful sister in law has ordered some quilted bibs, and so here is what I made. I love baby items!

Beautiful nursing cover for sale--only $25!

***SOLD!!***
Last week I made five nursing covers for various friends. I wanted to give one of my friends a couple of covers from which to choose, so I still have this beautiful green nursing cover available. It is a lovely shade of spring green, not too pale but not too bright. It makes me wish for March/April, daffodils, and new growth! Anyway, if you are interested, let me know:-)

Pretty in pink nursing cover

A friend ordered a nursing cover for someone who is having a little girl. I made her two covers to choose from, and she chose this pretty in pink one. My daughter liked it too, and attempted to model it:-)

A nursing cover to travel the world

A dear friend of mine is leaving this weekend to move overseas. She is 13 weeks pregnant with her third child, and a nursing cover will be helpful for her once the baby arrives. The fabric I used works for either gender:-)

Placemat Purses

I am making 25 placemat purses for an upcoming women's event. I did not monogram these; I just get to sew them! The placemats are beautiful shades of olive green, brick red and pale eggplant. I think they turned out nicely...and will be glad when they are all completed!

Boy's Christmas present (unfinished)

I am sure this is not an original idea, but I did not get this from anyone else;-) My little boy has several little Chuck trucks (Tonka brand) that are soft plastic and lots of fun to play with. I wanted him to have a mat that he could 'race' the cars on, and though I looked at several online, nothing seemed right. Then inspiration/desperation struck, and I decided to make him his own car mat. The fun part? The roads trace the center of our town--his racing mat is a map of where we live! Below is a picture of the mat still in process, with just the roads in place. More to come later!

Patchwork ornaments

How I pay my babysitter :-)

With a one-of-a-kind skirt! Thanks so much to Becca for swapping babysitting for a skirt, and for patiently waiting several months for it to be finished! The skirt is a simple wrap style from Sew What Skirts. If you remember, I made myself a skirt in the same style, but I don't know if I ever took a picture of the finished project! Here is Becca's skirt, in the wonderful Pistachio Paisley fabric from Michael Miller. It looks much better on her than in the picture!
