Baby Gift

Don't you just love making baby gifts? I do. They are so much fun and cute to create.

I think I mentioned earlier that I became an aunt again to a sweet baby boy. The perfect opportunity to make these.... bibs and burp clothes!

I don't have an embroidery machine so I just drew the letter "J" with my disappearing pen and appliquéd with a zigzag stitch and embroidery thread over it. Turned out not too bad... yes?



When I saw this flannel I knew I had to make it into a robot shape... it just had that element of robotness.(I don't think that is a word, but you get what I am saying... right?) I am quite pleased with myself as to how it turned out. I drew it freehand.



Anyways, not a lot of sewing going on these days other than above. I can say that I have made some accounting headway and I hope to get it under control soon... I mean I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. If that is at all possible.

Since the holidays, I haven't been able to get my ass in gear. There is so much that I need to get done and I am moving at a snails pace. I think I am in that February funk and it isn't even February yet. I hope February moves as fast as January has. It has been soooo cold here, the sun rarely if at all comes out and we are on a snow advisory today (we are suppose to get a shit load...lucky us -eyes roll back..very grumpy). All I want to do is hibernate, now if we can just get thru February spring is right around the corner...yipee!

Have a good Thursday!
