for my nephew

I'm back. I've been around and creating, just haven't been posting.

I am proud to say, as of Thursday, I am an aunt! This creation went to my new nephew: his father went to University of Arizona; his mom went to University of Illinois; and now they live in Phoenix. He arrived just in time for the beginning of March Madness; very appropriate.

cheer on the home team

Knowing my friends love sports, here's one for the baseball enthusiasts. It works for tee-ball, little league, college sports, and the MLB. Play ball!

pooh

All of my friends know that I love Winnie the Pooh. Of course, he and his friends have to make it into my burp cloth repertoire. This is Disney Pooh fabric; I would love to find Classic Pooh fabric, if anyone can point me in that direction.

baby burp cloth and bag

My friends M & N are having a baby boy; she's due any day now.  I'm sending a bag for her and a set of burp cloths for the baby as a welcome present.  I know they'll get lots of use out of them.

future air guitar player

My friend, who asked me to call her "Eagle Eye," needs a fun gift for an upcoming baby shower. Apparently the father-to-be plays air guitar and has even gone to the national championships -- so she wanted a onesie entitled "future air guitar player."

burp cloths

My friends J and C are having a baby in April.  They are waiting to find out the sex of the baby, so at their baby shower, I had to give something gender neutral.  What better than a set of burp cloths - you can never have too many to help clean up after the little one.  Now, if only I knew the intials of the baby, then I'd be able to do something really fancy...

Twins!

My friends J and S are having twin boys. So two boys must mean two gifts. Two little sleeper sacks for two precious boys. You'll be able to tell them apart by their intials!

4 lucy bags

Four little Lucy bags...all lined up.

lucy bag, part II

The afore mentioned Lucy Bag took a bath in hot water last night - here's the picture after the first wash.


It still needed a little more felting, so into the wash it took another bath in hot water...AND...ta da! Here it is:


Now I'm working on a pink one (because we know how much I love pink). Who knows, a Lucy bag might be in your future.

more onesies

Little baby M is still months away; these onesies were made for as part of a Christmas gift. One says "daddy loves me;" the other says "mommy loves me."

bench cover

In my arts and crafts fit, I made this yesterday. It's a blue floral home drapery fabric, and I used elastic to create the ribbing around the edges.
