Projects in July

Hey all, my but summer is busy...
Little Man has been crawling and pulling up on things and teething so between all those things I don't have alot of time to just sit and blog.

I have been doing alot of project lately though.

#1 on my list was baby shower gifts, I really do like to make things for peoples gifts instead of just buying something, however it has to look professional or somewhat decent to give them, I hate gifts that look really "homemade".

I decided to make all burp clothes. These are like the ones that I made for Little Man and I love them.



I should have taken a picture using them but the reason I love them so much is because they are the perfect size. YES!  They are 17in by 20in.

When I was pregnant I looked for burp clothes in the stores and all I could find was either those skinny "doesn't do any good" kind or the huge receiving blankets or the white folded cloth diapers (which by the way smell really bad when regourgetated on)

Thus, I made my own...



My next project was making a snack bag... The first one turned out bad, but the second one was great and super cute. Next time I will probably make it smaller.



Cute Huh?


Ok and finally my most favorite craft to date: I am super excited about this one folks.


Please excuse the picture quality, the lighting in the living room is a horrible place to take pictures.



Isn't he beautiful? You might be thinking that it looks silly or 'whatever' but I LOVE IT!!
He's so eclectic and whimsy, and trust me if you saw him in person you would like him too.

Here is the tutorial I followed complete with print outs: Have fun!


Of course my blog isn't complete until I show you a picture of the 'birthday cake' I made for my mother-in-law.


This is a Lime Pound Cake with Lime Glaze
OH MY GOODNESS... It was delicious.
