Baby (gift) Makin

We showered Baby Wyatt last weekend and I got my craft on!!

I used a wooden letter from Michael's and ModgePodged it with paper to match his nursery

I covered a travel wipe container with fabric and ribbon to match Baby Wyatt's diaper bag.

And using MLB fleece, I made a 'no-sew' blanket to represent the rivalry between Wyatt's Mom and Dad. Depending on who is playing/winning, you can pick your side. This was super easy!!

New Baby♥ = Baby Gift♥

Dad-to-be is in a band, Mom-to-be is in the movie biz...

No fancy Silhouette Machine here, just your basic ink jet iron-on. I grabbed the album art from the band's facebook page, which by the way...I totally recommend that you check out Traildriver, great indie rock/country sound!!! And added the text using Photoshop. Poof!

Like I said, Mom-to-be is in the movie biz, so I found a "clapper" clipart image and added the text.

I think they turned out adorable! and Mom & Dad-to-be were pretty thrilled too!

B is for BOY

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of showering a friend expecting her first baby, a baby BOY. I love making something special to go with a gift, an excuse to get my craft on!

I decided to make some clothespins. I use these handy clips ALL THE TIME. Keeping a blanket over the stroller when the monkey is sleeping or blocking the sun from the car window. And now that my monkeys are getting bigger, they get used to keep blankets together for forts and hanging wet fingerpaint masterpieces on the line. So you get the point...super useful!

I already had a supply of clothespins (bought a pack of 40 at the dollar store) that I spray painted silver for another project that never got off the ground...(can you believe that??!?)I was getting very impatient waiting for one side to dry so I could flip it over to paint the side...then a moment of brillance hit! clip them so they stand up straight! WAH-LA

Now to make them cute, I used a straw to make big circles

And a chop stick to make the small dots

So Fun and EASY! The Mommy to be LOVED it!
