This is a 'bow holder' I made the other day. I will have to take another picture with bows actually on it. But it a fun little decoration for the wall. :)
These are a few burp clothes I made with scraps from my sister. Thanks Corinne! They are just cloth diapers with some cute fabric. They are the best for burp cloths, my aunt gave me a couple when I had Kalel and they were my favorite. They absorb so much!
Before...
After! I used a tutorial online to make pajama pants out of an old shirt. I think they turned out cute, and they are really comfortable. I could make these in about 10 min. Really easy & really fast!
This is the shirt I made to go with them. Kalel loves trains. He calls this his Thomas the Tank Engine shirt. As soon as he finds it out of the wash, he wants to wear it again. :) I just used a $3 shirt from Wal-Mart and some scraps & buttons to applique on the train. Great price for new pajamas.
Ok, not a very good picture. I'll post a better one later. But I made my first quilt! It was pretty time consuming because I was learning from my mistakes - but so worth it. I love it! I put a hot pink paisley print minky on the back. I'm in love with that stuff! And this is the crib & changing table my Mom bought for us! Thanks Mom, we love them!
For Christmas this year I wanted to make most of my gifts. I learned how to make beanies from old sweaters, and the dollar store here had some - Perfect! So I made hats for my nieces & nephews on my side.
I learned how to make these cute flowers from an online tutorial. So I made different versions for the girls hats, they are just on clips so they can switch them around or wear them on shirts, headbands etc.
Here are Macie & Lily wearing theirs.
I made NY Yankee hats for the boys. The black ones are sweaters & the blue one is fleece. I used felt (.25 cents a sheet) to applique the symbol on. They loved them. I heard that Logan even sleeps in his. :)
They cost around 50 cents a hat. Because I bought the sweaters from the dollar store and I have some left over that is usable, but some I only had enough for two. And the red ones were a sweater I already had. Everything else (fabric scraps for flowers & felt) I already had. Not bad, right?
Lastly I made some more flowers for my sister-in-laws. I just made up a bunch and let everyone choose. They have pins & clips on the back. I like to wear mine in my hair when it is pulled up, or on a coat, shirt etc.
That's all for now. I will post more later, unless I go into labor. Which I would gladly welcome. :)
If anyone wants to know how to do any of these things, let me know. I can post links, or make tutorials.

Kim, that is so awesome!! I really want to know how to do all of that! Can you post the links for the tutorials? I think I may just do that for Christmas Gifts next year, thanks for the ideas. You inspire me! Good luck with the birth!
