Nursery Signs

I want to do a collage on the wall so I've come up with a couple inspirational signs to go with it. I cut these out using my Silhouette:

I will be putting these in gold and mint frames. 

Rag Quilt

When I began thinking of the decor for the nursery I went and picked out some fabric to make the bedding. I wanted coral, peach, mint, gold, and white.

I really like how the blanket turned out and will feature the fully ragged finished product when I finish the whole bedding set.

Arrows Part 2

After the first set of arrows for the nursery hubby decided to make some for downstairs.

Perfect for any direction life might take us.

Ragged Bibs

I made one of these bibs for my niece several years back and included it here on my blog. You will see one in this group that looks just like it. I had one more scrap of fabric just perfect to make one of these for my own little girl.

I thought about making some of the bandana bibs, but went with the traditional for now. Maybe someday.

Arrows

I wanted some kind of arrow design in the nursery so hubby came up with this:

I really like it!

Pacifier Clips

Nothing too fancy about these. I do like that I can customize the ribbons I want to use to make these match what my baby might be wearing.

***Update - considering my baby girl only likes the Soothie pacifiers so far I can't use these unless I modify them with some kind of string to go through the small holes on those pacifiers. 

Hooded Towels and Wash Cloths

I actually made three sets of these, but didn't take pictures of the other two. My hope is that these will work well and be soft enough for baby girl. I did a combination of terry cloth inside and printed flannel on the outside.

***Update - These have worked out great and are so much better than the flimsy store bought versions. They soak up a lot of moisture and keep lil one dry. 

Super Bowl Cookies

My attempt at football cookies for our work Super Bowl party. Someone quickly pointed out that I did laces out instead of in.

These weren't my typical. They have soft chocolate frosting.

Burp Cloths

A few months back we discovered we were expecting. Due to prior sad experiences we waited to accept it for a while. This is my first project of many in preparation of baby girl Wright's arrival. The plan is one project a week up to week 30!

I'm told babies make a lot of messes and emit large amounts of goo. Thus the need for goo rags (burp cloths).

I did a lot of research to discover what would be the best way to construct these cloths. I found that using a combination of cloth diaper on one side for maximum absorption and flannel on the other side to prevent slippage was the way to go. 

***Fast forward many months and one beautiful goo emitting baby later and these are a daily necessity. Although my little gal doesn't spit up very often she is a messy eater. I lay one of these over the top of my Boppy pillow while nursing and voila, it's like a baby table mat.

Snoopy Gingerbread House

My company hosted a gingerbread house making contest and our team decided to do a Snoopy Christmas theme. I was volunteered to prepare the house pieces and think they turned out pretty great!

I only wish I had a picture of the finished product. My group did a wonderful job decorating the rest of it!
