Another baby gift on it's way.....

This one was super fun to make. It's going to an old friend of mine who has no idea that she'll be getting anything in the mail. In fact, the last thing I made for her was a pan of brownies when we were in junior high! She was in a 4-wheeling accident and I took them over to help her get well (still not sure if they had any egg shells... it was my 1st time making brownies!!) Anyways, she'll be getting hooter hider, 2 burp rags, a diapee/wipee and a super cute outfit from babies r' us that isn't pictured. I hope she likes it! I know she plans on nursing since she's a NICU RN so hopefully the hooter hider will be very useful for her!!

Neapolitan Overload

I love the color combination of chocolate, pink & cream together (though neapolitan ice cream isn't a favorite of mine!) A few years ago I fell in love with the Lotus ring sling from Sakura Bloom and while they are truly stunning slings, I'm afraid I just can't shell out $340.00 for one!! Well, lucky for me they stopped making their Lotus sling so I was forced to make my own. I love it! It's beautiful and feminine and so far, Miss Maddie loves to be snuggled up in it. I don't wear it as my everyday carrier but I love it for church! I was feeling extra ambitious when I made it, so I created a matching hooter hider. Actually, those are my new favorite thing to sew and I've made about 10 so far. Hopefully I'll get a picture of them soon and get it posted. In the meantime, here is my new sling....
