Craftiness

This summer, I've worked on several projects for the baby coming to our family. Here are some pictures of things I've done.

A nursing cover. I followed the tutorial online but failed to remember that I am shorter and smaller than most women. So it's on the big side but that's alright. That just means I don't have to worry about modesty as much.

Wipes case and diaper holder for the diaper bag. I made the diaper holder a little smaller than I intended so only small sizes fit in it. I'll have to make another one as our baby grows.

We got some white frames for free a few years ago so I painted them orange and did some duck artwork in them for the nursery.

Sprucing up burp cloths!

Adding some flair to onesies. My favorite is the football one. That's her Halloween costume.

The cover to our carseat.

The inside of the cover. It's made with the minky fleece, which I discovered is NOT easy to sew with.

Joseph and I have also made a little bet about our baby's arrival. The winner of the bet gets to choose the going home outfit from the hospital (even though we know she'll wear the outfit just long enough to make it home and then she'll spit up on it and need to be changed. But, it's still fun.). So, here's our guesses. The winner is the one who is correct on at least two of the three areas.

I'm hopeful she'll come early. But I also think she'll be a chubby baby. After all, look at my height. Also, Joseph was over ten pounds and I was over nine at birth.

Joseph is more realistic with the October birthday but is hopeful she'll play basketball one day. He's cheering for a tall, lean baby.

My going home outfit if I win the bet.

Joseph's going home outfit if he wins. We love baby hoodies!

Now if the ultrasound was wrong and we end up having a boy, I don't know what we'll do. He'll come home in a white onesie or something pink. We're not worried about gender identity.
