A few little projects...

I had the opportunity to hostess the baby shower of a sweet friend this week. Unlike the normal hostess fare of bringing food or drinks, I ended up helping with decorations. I wanted to make something useful. So, I started trying to figure out what I could make...

My friend's nursery is from the Carter's Forest Friends collection. So, I googled and found what the set looked like and painted this "Night Owl". However, when my children woke up and saw it they told me that I couldn't only paint this one owl, I needed something else...

Noah suggested that I needed to also make an "Early Bird"... so I googled again and came up with this:

And, then I got to work on my favorite project... I foresee many more of these little ones being made in the coming weeks... this was made of old baby receiving blankets and a pair of fuzzy brown baby pants... I hand embroidered the eyes and beak, but the rest was quickly assembled on the sewing machine.

Now we just have to wait to meet this little baby! :)
