Leftovers

As promised here is the post I was telling you about with the scraps from the baby blankie.

I knew that with a new baby lots of spitting up and burping would be occurring and with those you need some burping towels! So I was thinking hmm whats absorbent and pocket friendly and reusable....DUH cloth diapers!!!

So i bought a 4 pack, oddly enough they were cheapest at Joann's. Who knew a fabric store even would carry them but when they are cheaper then Wally world and Target I am not going to judge.

I also bought a little iron on elephant for "Peanut" at Michael's since I had a gift card and made a monogram. I felt like giving her an assortment and just had fun with it. Now when you make these just be very careful when stitching because the needle may shred the diaper, thankfully I didn't have any problems with that but I could see how it would happen because it is that gauze-y material (if you have never felt or seen a cloth diaper before.)

Here's a closer look at 3 out of 4 of them. 2 of them were very similar. They both said "BABY" but one used the green polka dot fabric lining the sides, so I only took one picture of them.

I am so glad that she liked these. It was funny I got called and put on speaker phone to hear here open my gift and I didn't know how my mom had wrapped it so all I heard was "Oh my gosh she made these?! They are so adorable!" I wasn't quite sure what she had gotten to first and hearing the "oooos" and "awws" from the ladies I couldn't really hear, but then I heard the gasp and even louder "oooooos" and I knew she had found the blanket. I am really glad that she enjoyed it and being able to hear her surprise and love for them was the best thing that I could ask for!   

Love you Christy can't wait to see little Peanut!
