Baby Boy Gifts


No! Not ME!!! My two sisters are.  I should join the crowd I guess. 

I've been having lots of fun making stuff for them.  I'll try to post some pictures as I complete some projects.  Katee has chosen to be surprised at delivery rather than finding out the sex ahead of time.  My gifts for her will be more maternal than for baby brother/sister.  She wants a sling. 
Crystal is having a boy.  Even though she's due after Katee, I feel more focused on making her stuff because I know what it is and what she plans to name him.  Here are two so far. 

A wipe case
Store-bought travel wipe case, hot glue, spray baste, ribbon, scrap fabric, and batting. 
 Hector the Turtle which is really just something to lay on other than the dirty floor.  

A little detail about Hector: 
  • His underbelly is just as cool as the top but completely different.
  • He's very masculine in spite of the fact that his head, legs, and tail were cut from a dress.
  • The top looks messy because it's a rag quilt.   Once Hector gets washed a few more times he ought to be nice and fuzzy.
  • His eyes are made from the letter O and a few other shapes using machine embroidery.
I love making something cool without spending any money!
