Onesies

So I've designed a few embroidery patterns for Onesies. I've finished two so far.

No explanation needed here, really. ;)

Abram (and I have to say I agree) has insisted that no Cougar fan can wear a pink Y on anything. So I did this one for game day. :)

Carrier Cover

This was a fun little project I picked up at the Sew 'N Save with Mom. It should be called Sew 'N Spend, but oh well. I love how it turned out!

The top layer is a cream with a cute paisley pattern, and green rick rack trim.

The underside is a cute pink polka dot.

I couldn't resist these cute buttons!!!

Little Miss will be traveling in style! :)

Baby Quilt

"Daddy! Daddy! My woobie ripped!!"
"Kenny, maybe it's time to get rid of the woobie"
"No! No! No!!!!!!!!!!!"

Mom and I made made this adorable little quilt for Little Miss on Thursday. We couldn't resist these super cute fabrics!! YAY!!! Thanks Mom!

We didn't actually piece the top ourselves. Oh well! No one needs to know....

Detail of the squares. We especially like the fuzzy pink squares.

And yellow with polka dots on the back. HOORAY!!

Purple Quilt

So I took a few days off from making baby stuff and made something for me! I'm especially glad that Mom helped (did more than 50% of the work for sure). It was also nice that she has super nice quilt frames! We're certainly beginners, but this flannel wonder is all about snuggle appeal!! Thanks again and again Mom! (And Dad for being our cabana boy by bringing us drinks and attending to our every need)

With flash...(note the awesome green quilt behind that Mom did for our wedding!)

Without flash, not sure which looks better.

About 27-28 Weeks

And about 12 more to go!!
"So much time and so little to do!"

Baby Crafties

So I don't usually cross-stitch, but I thought I'd do a little for the baby room. Don't get too excited, I didn't do all three of these this past week, just the middle one, haha. A good friend of mine gave me a vintage Strawberry Shortcake pattern book 8 or 9 years ago. It was back then that I completed Strawberry herself. About 3 years ago I started Almond Tea, who was always my favorite, after Strawberry of course. I finished that one about a year ago. I decided to add the "Cutie Pie" to complete a cute little ensemble for baby's wall. Please forgive all the wrinkles. I haven't bothered to iron yet. Now back to crocheting her blessing dress! :)

Almond Tea & Marza Panda

I modified this pattern from one in the book. I took out the characters and added the strawberries.

Strawberry Shortcake & Custard

Purple Caps

Hi everyone. My mom invited me to take part in making baby caps to spread awareness and help prevent abuse. You may have heard of "purple crying." Anyway, this organization is trying to prevent Shaken Baby Syndrome, a very worthy cause, and the donation project definitely appeals to those of us crafty people out there. Go to this site for details about cap specifications and where to donate. You can knit or crochet, and the caps must be at least 50% purple, any shade.

I made about a dozen of these from one skein of yarn. Let me know if you'd like the pattern. I modified a free pattern I found online here. If you knit, try this site. Thanks and good luck! :)
