Well, I had big plans to make some things for this baby....on the top of my list was a crib bumper...and a car seat cover. But then came the bedrest. So unfortunately I didn't get around to those big projects (and BIG they would have been...BIG & DIFFICULT). I suppose it's ok though. I tend to be a 'starter-seamstress'---I like to start, but hate to finish (I have several unfinished projects waiting for me) and once I do sit down to finish, I usually get pretty lazy & don't do a great job. But I did get a few things made after I hit 34 weeks. Here are some things I have been working on.
I Mod-podged a frame.
The only thing I made for the crib was a crib skirt.
I had some leftover material, so I made this little 'Tag Blanket'
A Diaper/Wipe case and a Pacifier case.
The hooded towel since both the girls got one when they were born (Modeled by the messy-faced....but still kind of cute Avery ;) )
The nursing cover (cuter than anything I could have bought and it still only cost about $12)....I am loving the print, but I hope it doesn't shout "HEY LOOK AT ME I AM UN-CLOTHED UNDER HERE!"....but oh well if it does.
The blanket. It's tradition that I make my kids one of these I guess. Quinnie named hers 'FUZZY BLANKET' and Avery has deemed her "RUBBY (or WUBBY since she can't say her R's). I wonder what this baby will name his?????
A car seat blanket cover. Not really needed, but it was simple enough.
I probably should get some burp cloths made....but I am secretly hoping he is not a spitter like Avery was (you have never had a baby who throws up more than she did!!!).
It was difficult to find material that was really cute & boy worthy...but I managed.
The baby has clothes in his closet (also a difficult task...I get totally BUGGED when I go into a store and see 2 racks of boy clothes versus the 15 racks of girl clothes.) It's lame, but at least I have two girls that I can still shop from those 15 racks. I also got some 'hand-me-downs' & 'lender' clothes so that is nice.
We are ready for this baby.

Cute projects! I LOVE your "nursing cover"! SUPER CUTE!
p.s. I want you to know I DID say a prayer that you would deliver BEFORE Friday...so that should dothe trick. lol!
Darling blanket
You may need the carseat cover to keep other kids away from him when he is sleeping in it.
And I'd like to argue that Kaitlyn threw up at least as much as Avery. She always spit up all over--nearly every time she ate and then again just for good measure.
SHEESH KIM!! You are SO DANG talented! I need some lessons. I'm coming to live with you for a while so you can teach me some things (I promise I'll help out around the house while I'm there. Haha)! I love all of it! What a lucky little boy! I bet he's getting excited to come out and play now with all those cute things hand made by his mom!
All those projects are BIG and DIFFICULT projects in my book!!! I need to learn to like to sew...but I don't. I despise it. SO...WAY TO GO! Super cute stuff. I LOVE the material on the nursing cover!
AND...I have to put my wager in that Hannah was probably right up there with Avery in her spitting ability. It was awful. :P
Speaking of "lender" clothes...do you need any 0-3 months stuff? I have some onesies, pants & sleepers, if you want to use them.
Wow! You've been busy!
I'm ready for this baby too. Come on kiddo!
CUTE. I love all of them, especially the nursing cover. Good job and Good LUCK on having this baby soon. Keep us posted!
I've never met someone so crafty! Hope the little guy gets here soon!!
Wow. and you did these in just the last 6 weeks! I am amazed!! They are all so cute!
I think you have been plenty busy!
I love them all! Very cute! Good luck with going into labor. I had to be "induced" and if you just ask that they start with the lowest dose petocin then it's really not bad at all. I could still sleep through my contractions up until they broke my water. Hang in there you're doing great.
Kim, you did such a great job on all your projects! Don't worry about the bumper pads, pediatricians are saying you should use them now a days anyway because of suffocations. I bought stuff to make a nursing cover too, but haven't done it yet. I only have 3 months of nursing left... don't even know if I should. We'll see. It may get made and then packed right up. LOVE the carseat cover! I saw that on the Make it and Love it blog (do you follow that?) But I'll have to make one for the next baby, Emily has already moved up in carseats. Sounds like You're ready for him... well I guess all but the name! :) Can't wait to meet him.
good job! so cute! that is so exciting to know he will be here this week!
