OH! I just realized that I posted my first bib, but haven't posted the second batch I made! So, here you go. I've added bibs to my Etsy shop, too.

Sewing Kit Tin
I haven't posted anything here in a while. I'm having a hard enough time keeping up with my main blog! But I made this a few weeks ago (before school & work started!) and just took pictures of it. It's a tin I bought at a craft store and decoupaged with a mixture of old and new papers. I have a tiny sewing kit inside. Front:

A New Bib
The back makes good use of an old towel and I included a velcro closure on it because I hate to tie things around baby's neck.
This took all of about 5 minutes to make! Think I may use some of my extra fabric & list some in My Etsy Shop to go along with my tag blankets!
And the test drive... it works!

Another Fitted Diaper
The last one worked out so well that I decided to do it again! This time I used alpine fleece for the outer, which makes it waterproof! NOW I'm really loving this diaper!!! (except for those pins!)
The inside is purple floral flannel I got off the clearance rack at WM for $1/yd! Below, the pocket in the diaper has been stuffed with one microfiber towel.


And it did work! She slept in it for an about 2-hr nap today. She was wet inside, but the outside was still dry! I have a feeling I'll be making more of these puppies...

I've probably made more tag blankets since I last posted here, too. Check my Etsy Shop to see what's new.

A Fitted Diaper: RRP
You know I am new to cloth diapering... and I am scared of this diaper. It's a "fitted diaper;" it's a "pocket diaper." That means it is not waterproof. It needs a diaper pin. It's only 2 layers thick, but has a pocket that can be stuffed with whatever absorbent material I see fit. But enough of my phobia - This diaper was amazingly easy to sew. It dried in a snap. And with a mom that was paying attention, I felt it get moist, but we had no leaks even without an extra cover! But most importantly... it's ADORABLE!!!
Notice the ladybug on her bottom?

New Diapers!
Yes, you see correctly - I MADE DIAPERS!!! I giggle when I see them because they look so cute on Elizabeth, and because I just love to see something I made being enjoyed or used by my beautiful baby.
This pink one needs a little tweaking still, but the green one below was perfect! It did it's job quite nicely and is already going through it's first wash in the cycle of use. And it's got ladybugs on it!!!

More Tag Blankets!
Just listed on Etsy, and first up is my ladybug tag blanket. These turned out so wonderfully. I used that minky fabric that is as soft and smooth as butter! Elizabeth went nuts while I was making this one, so she got one of the ladybug blankets to keep! See pictures of her with her blanket on my personal blog.
Groovy alien fabric sets apart this boyish tag blanket. Since my first blankets were rather girly, I was striving for something more suitable for a little boy.
Here's another girly girl blanket. This one is backed in purple satin.
Another one for the boys - this one is backed is super cute "ocean friends" flannel that is really soft & snugly. This one is one of my favorites, too.
Another girly blanket... this one has magnificent backing fabric - huge purple flowers with strawberries. I loved that fabric!
I will be listing these throughout the week in my Etsy Shop - take a peek!
