burpcloth lollipops.

Okay, so What I Wore Wednesday never happened last night.

I know you were all anxiously awaiting that post.  Ha!

Actually, we spent last night watching the movie 127 Hours.

It was amazing! 

It's about the guy that was mountain biking by himself and while walking through one area, a rock fell on his arm and trapped him for 127 hours!  He almost died but ended up cutting his own arm off to get free.

It's a true story! 

You should watch it.

But, be warned, the language is bad.  And the arm being cut off is pretty gruesome.

Okay, now that we've talked about a man cutting his own arm off, let's move on to burpcloth lollipops.

How's that for transition?

My friend, Kate, also ordered these.

I embellished some organic, Gerber cloth diapers and made them burp cloths!

Here are some pictures of the burpcloths:

Then, I made the burpcloths into lollipops!

The lollipop "stick" is actually a baby spoon :)

Cute, and useful!

A friend told me that burpcloths were one of her favorite gifts when her daughter was born.  She said she used so many of them every day!  So this has become my choice of baby gift for any shower I go to!

I'd love to make you some!  If you're interested in placing an order, let me know :)

onesies.

How did Monday and Tuesday get by without me blogging?

It was a busy weekend and I think I'm just now starting to recover.

Hopefully I'll post my What I Wore Wednesday post later tonight!

I am starting to make onesies to sell and I thought I would share a few that I have made so far.

This first post will show the ones I made for my friend, Kate.  Both of her sister-in-laws are pregnant so she placed an order for a few.

Here they are:

An Elephant

A Giraffe

[this is the real color of the giraffe.  the first picture makes the fabric look darker than it is.]

Easter Eggs:

A Turtle:

[forgot the upclose picture of the turtle!]

I had so much fun with these!  There are a few more I've done since then, I'll hopefully post those soon!

Happy Wenesday!

what i wore wednesday [edition 2.0]

I made it back for another What I Wore Wednesday post!

I know it's crazy that I'm taking pictures of myself every morning, but it really has made me work a little harder - I try not to always go straight to my cardigans and black dress pants now!

I'm trying a new way of doing this today.  I think I like it a little better :)

[You can click on any of the collages and they get bigger].

But, keep in mind, I'm normally taking these pictures at 5:50 or 6:00 in the morning.

So the lighting is terrible.

And I've just gotta go with what I get, since I'm getting ready to leave for work and don't have time to play around with taking different pictures. 

Maybe I'll figure out a more creative way?  But at this point, I'm just happy that I'm remembering to take a picture everyday :)

Thursday is our dressdown day at work.  So I always try to take advantage of that.

And, don't you love that I just said I don't resort back to my cardigan and then BAM, first day in, I'm in a cardigan! Ha!

You'll realize as you go through this week that my sister-in-law Katie pretty much accessorizes me.  She always gets me jewelry for my birthday and that collection is by far, the cutest in my stash!  I'm terrible about picking out jewelry but she's so good at it!

This is my uniform all Spring and all Fall.

Seriously.  Long-sleeved shirts and shorts are my absolute favorite.

So I take advantage of it any time I can!

I bought this cardigan and my brother was with me.  He couldn't understand why I would want to buy a rag :)

I didn't feel too bad since he had just vetoed my mom on a "rag" that she was wearing the night before!

And the boots were actually a gift from my Bon Bon.  I'll have to tell yall about her sometime :)  She's the best.  Everyone needs a Bon Bon.  Promise.

Wow.  Definitely slacked off this day.  What can I say?  It was a Monday!

My mom and I went to San Diego in January.  I had a business trip and drug her along.  Of course the weather was gorgeous there so they had their Spring clothes out.  My mom treated me to a couple of outfits :)  I'm so excited to finally get to wear those outfits here now, since it's Spring! 

This is actually a dress but it looks like a skirt and top :)  Love that.  No tucking my shirt in my underwear [thanks for the trick, Mom] and tugging on it all day long as it tries to slip out of the skirt!

Okay, that's all!

Who's going to join me this week over on Lindsey's blog?

the cube.

When you walk into our bedroom at look at my dresser you see this:

The brown cube on the right is a surprise, from my daddy.

He let me pick out hardware for my cube.

And when you open it, you'll see my initials burned into the lid of the cube.

But what's inside the point of the cube?

It's a jewelry box.

The top layer hold some of my regulars.

Then, a layer down I find my silver jewelry.

Next layer, black.

And lastly, the fun stuff :)

Is that not the best surprise ever?

My daddy loves me :)

And is super talented!

I'm a lucky girl.
