Little Boys, Little Boys

 A friend was having a baby shower this past summer and she is always dressed super cute.. so why shouldn't she tote around a baby dressed just as cute?!

I've seen photos of little boys in little ties and fell in love with the look. Since he was just a baby though I decided to attach it to a onesie as apposed to mom trying to keep such a little thing on a tiny shirt all day. Here is what I came up with..

I bought the onesie size 12 mos.. so he probably doesn't fit into it yet, so stay tuned for a picture of him wearing it.

While I was at it I made a Mickey Mouse tie for another friend's little boy who was turning one.. and of course loves Mickey.

Here is a photo of the little guy. So handsome!

Yes they are cute.. but let me tell you working with such a tiny piece of fabric.. these two may be my first and last little ties. Lets hope all my friends have girls, tutus are easier to make!

Heart to Heart

A friend was moving away to Charlotte, North Carolina and I wanted to make her something to remember us by.

This is an Ohio pillow (pre-stuffing) with a heart over Cincinnati.

She has a twin sister who she was leaving here in Cincinnati for the first time and I wanted her to have something as well.

This is a North Carolina pillow (pre-stuffing) with a heart over Charlotte.

Congratulations Heather (and Izzy) on your new adventure! 

May it be everything you hoped it would be and more.

Milestones

 A good friend of ours and Payton's Godfather turned 30 this year! Kevin and I debated on what to get him. Do you try and buy a present for the man who has everything? Do you give him a gift card to an expensive restaurant? I finally decided on this....

The man loves beer and loves his family. Why not combine both? 

Each bottle had a different picture on it, with a different saying. Of course my favorite was "30 Sucks" because I'm pretty sure it does; It means you're old! 

I'm 27.. I'm sure the pay backs will be coming in a few years.

Happy Birthday Jeff!

A month later my sister turned 21!

My mom and I collaborated on this one. She came up with the idea for this...

That is one tiny bottle of all the important liquors, shooters and wines for a 'new drinker' to try.. or should I say legal drinker to have 'for the first time'.

And I came up with the idea for this..

My sister doesn't like cake, so this is a Rice Krispie Cake. Two layers with melted marshmallow in the middle holding it together. And of course on top, a drunk Barbie!

Ignore my messy kitchen  masterpieces create quite the mess.

Happy 21st Little Sis!

Football Blanket

A birthday present for a special one year old! 

The entire back was originally supposed to be all UC fabric, BUT one yard of NCAA fabric is not the same as one yard of any other fabric. 

So he got this! Which clearly was a lot more work.. and well worth it.

Happy 1st Birthday Z!!
