Projects...

I don't know if you are ever fully "ready" to have a baby but here are few projects I have checked off my to do list. I have wanted to make these bibs for quite a while and I am excited to see how they work out.  Most of these are being put in the mail-- so many babies!  

Thanks to Design Mom for the idea, I was able to get Connor's Valentines put together before the baby comes.  Connor is a true animal lover and these are right up his alley. Watching  me assemble them was pure torture for Connor--he kept saying, "Do you need all of them!" (30 kids in his preschool class)...

I made a business trade exchanging some design services for some help sewing baby bedding.  I definitely got the better end of the deal.  I am not one who follows instructions or patterns very well...  So a big thank you to Lauren and her Mother for instructing me.  After we (mostly Zach)  hang a few more things on the wall, I may bore you with a few more pics.

*I have had a hard time deciding whether or not to have bumper pads. A lot has changed over the last four years...   Cribs, rules on car seats, when to start feeding your baby solids, baby bedding.  Sheesh!  I can only imagine how our parents look at the way we raise our kids. It's a bubble-wrapped world!
