Duck in a Tub Cake

Little Men Matching Shirts

I made Robby and Nathan matching tie shirts. I think there so adorable! I can't wait to see them both in them! There is a tutorial from Trey and Lucy click here for the link.

Changing Table

I finally finished putting together the changing table. For some reason no one around here had white baskets with holes! But I finally found some after months of searching!

For the white baskets I took different colors and styles of ribbon and weaved it through and either tied in a bow or into a not. For the bottom baskets I just took some Huggies boxes and covered them using this tutorial.

Car Seat Tent

I think these are super cute so I just had to make one! Maybe the buttons and ribbon on the handle where a little too much for a boy but he's a baby and I like it so I'm keeping it. For a good tutorial check out Thrifty Chick.

Baby Sling

With boy number 2 on the way and practically having everything we need for him, I've had a little time to make a few things for him. With my first I had one of those front facing carriers and didn't really like it. So I wanted to try these baby slings. I wish I would have taken a picture of the inside it has lions and hot air ballons. I did a few things different, to make it a little stronger but here is a good tutorial. If it can hold my 25 pound toddler it should be strong enough for a baby.

Stain Removal

I've been going through my son's baby clothes to get ready for boy #2 and have tried several different stain sticks but nothing has worked very well. I came across this solution somewhere online 1/2 cup warm water to 4 Tbs. baking soda. I mixed it and applied directly to the heavily stained areas then I made another batch and poured directly over and let it sit for 15 minutes then washed like normal. I was amazed! There was one very bad looking onesie that looks great now! Plus it gets rid of the smell too. It says that it will even get blood out. I was so amazed at the results that I got that I just had to share.

Girly Stuff

Joann's was having a sale on flannel, since I still have a little money left of my gift card I got some to stock up on baby gifts.

This is a blanket that I made, sewed right sides together, then turned it right way out and did a zig zag around it. I thought it seemed like too much pattern so I put the two yellow strips down it. The back is yellow. It looks better in person, and less wrinkly

Matching burp clothes to go with it. I cut the ends like you would a rag blanket.

Boppy

This is a boppy cover I made for my sister-in-law, Spring. I just got my cover out and copied it. I had a zipper on the back but didn't like it. So I ended up putting a strip of velcro on the back, which I'm not sure I like either, next time I think I'll try snaps or buttons. Make Your Own Baby Stuff does have a boppy pattern if you want to give it a try.

Oh Baby

I love making baby gifts! These are a few things I made and more posts to come.
The left is a ruffle butt onesie. I wish I had a picture of a baby wearing it because they are so cute. You can get the tutorial here. The guitar on the right is so easy and quick to make and really you can cut your material to any shape you want. You can find this tutorial and a cute tie onesie here.

This is a baby blanket I just tied together. I found the fabric on clearance at JoAnn's. I had to share because I just love the bright flowers on it.

Service Auction

For enrichment we decided we wanted to to a service auction. It turned out to be so much fun!! I was worried that there wouldn't be much stuff to auction off so I made four things. A baby blanket that I just quickly sewed with the machine and tied it. A baby crinkle toy that I found at Joy's Hope. A nursing bracelet and a coupon for one decorated cake. There turned out to be a good amount of stuff to auction off. I'm exited for the cake, the sister that won that has twin girls and she wants me to make their birthday cake in October.

I just thought this was cute. When ever Robby see's a blanket he has to cuddle with it and say "night night."

Nursing Braclet

This is my new favorite baby shower gift. I got the idea from Nanny Goat. It has the hours 1-12 and three beads between each number, representing fifteen minutes, you just move the clip to the time you last nursed. I think it is a cute idea! You can also use it to keep track of how many diapers your baby goes through a day or last time you gave them medicine, if they are sick. It was really easy to make just get memory wire, number beads, beads, a clip and charm. The hard thing for me to find was the number beads. I had to get them in Indianapolis (50 miles away). But you can probably find them online too, Alpha Beads makes them. All my supplies coast $12 and I was able to make four before I ran out of number 1 beads. You can also buy them on Ebay but they sell for $15-$20. Plus it's more fun to make your own.

Fabric Flowers

I love making these fabric flowers. They are so easy and cute! I made ten different ones for my sisters baby. I made these two for a neighbor. For the headband I just used knee highs and sewed the ends together.

This is the book with all the ideas. I love this book. I check it out at the library over and over. There are so many cute flowers to make. You can get it off Amazon for $10 (wink wink, Johnny)!
