baby blanket and taggies

I finished a baby blanket for my son Bryan yesterday. And today, after I shamelessly raided my friend, Sarah's, ribbon collection, I finished two little "taggies" out of the remnants. Apparently "taggies" are big out here in California. I had never heard of them until coming out here. So in the spirit of embracing the California way of life...we now have taggies! They are super fun...easy to make...and perfect for teething...which my little man is in desperate need of something to help those sore gums :) I think he likes the blanket...we'll see if he takes to the taggies...

latest completed project

here is the latest completed project...a quilt fit for a little girl. not sure who is going to own this one...either my daughter or maybe a friend. It was made with two charm packs of the same fabric line and a few other pieces from my stash. The charm packs make it super easy! will definitely be making this again with more charm packs. Here is the back...

And of course...a little tutu for my daughter...totally made this up on my own. I would change a few things about it...but it works pretty well for dress up.

newest completed project

Here is the latest project I have completed. A little table runner for my entry way. The pattern came from Anka's Treasures...their Little Charmers II pattern. It went together really easily. It used a charm pack and then fabric for the back and binding. Would definitely make another one and reuse the block pattern for a quilt.

Also finished this little number for a friend who just gave birth to a sweet baby girl. Used Simpliciy It's so Easy patter number 2913. Turned out so stinkin' cute! Makes me want another girl. :)

Baby Toys

Here are the baby toys I made for a shower gift recently. I used the pattern off of Michael Miller Fabrics Blog, http://makingitfun.blogspot.com/. They have some really great patterns for baby gifts you may want to make and give. I didn't have the fun black, white and red fabric, so I just got out the most colorful fabric I could find. I think they were a hit. I also adapted the pattern to make 3 smaller, two-sided toys...for the diaperbag or what have you. You should check out some of the other patterns they have.
