I am a Child of God

My friend Amanda gave me the vinyl saying for Josie's babyshower WAY back in September and I made the sign sometime in January or February and I finally hung the sign a few days ago. I'm such a slacker! You can't really tell in this picture (because it was taken with my phone) but the vinyl is a fun magenta color, just like the frames and clock and various other things I bought to decorate Josie's room with. So far this and the clock are the only things that I've hung up. But soon I will finish. I also had Amanda cut one in blue for Peter's room and the sign is chilling in my office/craft room. 


For both Peter's and Josie's signs I found the already cut MDF boards in the $0.51 bin at the Home Depot. All I needed to do was sand, clean then paint them. I painted 2 or 3 coats of the white paint on each side of the board because MDF soaks the paint right up. I used a low nap roller and satin latex paint. Then I used my laser level as a guide to get the letters on straight and just stuck it on. There are two sawtooth hangers on the back to hang it up. SO easy! SO happy to finally have at least one of them hung up.

Baby Daisy's Blanket

My friend Amanda had her baby shower today and I made her one of those cool fleece tie blankets, my first ever, and I think it turned out really nice albeit smaller than I anticipated. I used fleece that I had in my stash, which contributed to the small size. I saw this fabric and knew it was the one for her blanket. The green fleece is leftover fabric from Peter's dragon costume. :) I love how the back of the blanket looks like it's lined with the front fabric. We were joking that when Daisy is older she can cut a slit in the back of the blanket and turn it into a pillow sham.

Punk Nursing Covers

My friend Lauren is expecting a girl in November and she had her baby shower on Saturday. I made her these punk nursing covers. A while back she mentioned that there aren't enough punk baby clothes and so I decided that I would look for some punk fabric to make something for the baby. I saw these two patterns and I just knew that they were perfect for her. The funny thing is she's not a pink kind of girl but I saw the pink skulls and crossbones figured she would be okay with this pink. :) I used this awesome tutorial to make these.
