I have been SO ridiculously bust it's not even funny! Some how I am still managing to get my crafting done but since you can't see any of it quite yet I am going to show you something old.
I helped host a shower back in May and the Mom-to-be requested that I do the invites she wanted a brown and pink shower so of course I obliged... I like to not use envelopes if I dont have to.

This is it open

Now for the gift.... This is about the time I started
experimenting with stenciling so I did up some Gerber
onesies (organic and SO soft!) and added blanket stitching along the neck line.

Also made some bibs. Which I wasn't incredibly happy with...

And then I needed to wrap it so I embroidered a organizer (purchased at
Michaels). The babies room was going to be a butterfly theme so I made up this pattern.
this was my first time embroidering (since I was probably 10) and I had no idea of the time that this would take. I think I spent two weeks straight on it, probably about 50
ish hours...

New stuff is coming....
WOW! You must really like that person!!!! Those are incredible gifts!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these! The emrboidery is perfect. like from a store perfect! What is the sydnee banner made from?
ReplyDeleteLOVE your stuff! I owe you for both of the growth charts! I gave one to Jon and Steph for Luke.....
ReplyDeleteKelly- Actually I don't really know the person that well... I honestly don't even know if she even used any of the gift... I hope she did though...
ReplyDeleteJennifer - The fabric on the banner is just from Joanns I have no idea who makes it or anything. I REALLY like to embroidery I just haven't figured out what I really want that embroidery would work on ... it's definitely too time consuming to sell. I guess I just need to have kids!
Mum - Keep it and when ever you get a chance get me more silverware... and another coffee spoon (maybe two) they seem to be the only casualties around here....ahem...and I don't pay me for the one you gave to Beaus friend that would be ridiculous.
