We Met in a Bar

welcoming a new one

I had the pleasure of attending my friend Amanda’s baby shower this weekend at the Sherman Gardens and Library in Corona Del Mar. It was so much fun! The food was delicious, the flowers were gorgeous and the mom-to-be was beaming the entire time!  We can’t wait for the little one to arrive!

I took the opportunity to bust out my patterned masking tape and a letter-pressed card I bought at Paper Source.

I didn’t get a good picture of it but I made her a minky blanket using this animal print fabric.  I was afraid that the black wouldn’t be too baby friendly, but I love the animals and those are bright!  I also made some burp cloths and little shirts with the baby’s first initial, G, on them.  They weren’t perfect, but they were cute! As much as I love sewing baby items, my next project will definitely be something for me.  I’m not sure what yet, but I have already told my mom she will have to come over to help me read the pattern… I’ll keep you updated!

Have a great beginning of the week!

Since downloading these tape strips from Pugly Pixel I have been itching to use them.  So tonight I decided to update my masthead using a peice of tape and a photo I took while on a walk of my new/old neighborhood.  I think I like it… we’ll see.
