Care Package

Good Morning!

I'm off to mail a care package to my new grandson. Here are some of the items I've made. The first one (above) is a stand for a collection of finger puppets. I just got a plaque, sanded and stained it and glued pieces called "girl dolls" on the top. Such a simple project and such fun. The puppets are from a collection called "Rain Forest"

2) we have a diaper changing pad with a pocket to place diapers and wipes 3) cloth wipes 4) waterproof lined wipes holder 5) is a wet item bag (waterproofed),bag for soiled diapers, bibs or clothes 7)are six kitchen towels with fabric accents, and finally we have 12 cloth napkins and two placemats.

The napkins were my least favorite to do. To make them all the same size, you have to use a template and sew a quarter inch hem twice. Tedious.

I'm weary of making baby items, so next post will be back to quilts.

Have a nice day!

Gift Ideas for New Moms

Welcome!

I've been working on a list of projects to make for my stepdaughter and my new grandbaby. I've scoured the Internet for the best patterns.

Just click on the brown typeface below for the link.

Diaper Changing Pads:

Much friendlier than cold in the winter, hot in the summer and always sticky plastic.

Travel Changing Pad
Home Changing Pad

Cloth Baby Wipes:

If we're trying to save the environment from being overrun by diapers, lets do it for wipes too! Easy to pop in the washer with the cloth diapers. And much softer to delicate baby bottoms.

.

Baby Wipes Case and Diaper Cases:

Snazy containers for diapers and wipes for the stylish baby and mom!

Nursing Cover:

For polite camouflage in public

Lined Zipper Bag For Wet Items: (2 sites)

That could include soiled bibs, diapers, cloths or clothes. Add another zipper bag for a change of clothes.

Dishtowels:

Everyone needs nice dishtowels. This is a nice way to cheer up a kitchen and add a little color for very little effort and cost.

I fly back to Florida tomorrow. It's been a wonderful visit with my family. But I'm glad to be getting home and back to my husband, dogs and routine.

Good evening to all!
