Invitations

I just realized I haven't shared a picture of the shower invitation! Here it is:

The shower was yesterday and it was a blast! Everyone made a scrapbook page & I will share some pictures of those in a few weeks. It was such a fun day. So many cute little baby clothes!

gift bags


I made these gift bags this morning for the shower on Saturday. I found the bags at Michaels and the little decals were made on my Cricut with the New Arrivals cartridge. Easy peasy (as we say in my classroom) & cute!

Yellow Dress



I brought my sample of this dress into Jessica Knits in Scottsdale. Jessica saw it and asked me if I would be selling the pattern. Yay!! I am currently working on the third size and hope to be finished with the fourth and ready for sale by the end of my Spring break. (which is the end of the week - yikes!) This one is for my niece. I'll be sewing on the buttons and giving it to my sister on Saturday :)



Blue Dress with Eyelets

This is a little dress I made for my friend April's baby shower, which, sadly, I will not be able to attend since it is the exact same date & time as my sister's shower. The plan is to take her out to breakfast or lunch and give it to her then. Hopefully that will make up for missing the special event! I made a little matching dress for a doll or stuffed animal. Now to find the perfect friend to fit the dress. I'll post pictures when I do, of course.

Baby Shower



My sister is due in May to have her first baby - a little girl!! I'm so excited. I have been knitting up a storm! This week, though, is focused on the baby shower. My friend Megan & I are hosting it at my mom's house on Saturday. Here are some decorations I made on my new Cricut & Gypsy !!





Here are my two favorites up close:


Baby Onesies and Wrap Shirts




These took me awhile, and I cut the fabric on my Cricut machine. It was not as easy as the YouTube video made it look. I love the way they turned out though! Especially after the embroidery. Can't wait to give them away to the new mommies!
