Baby Stuff- Complete with horrible pictures!

My first taggie blankie ever!  It felt good to break into my huge ribbon stash (I don't use it enough) and fire up ol' Bessie, my sewing machine.  At first, I was a little hesitant about using the flower flannel for it, as it was for a little boy.  However, it's softness won me over.  It's like a cloud!  Besides, it's a baby, do we really need to start drilling in gender roles so early?  I think not.  Ok, yes- I made him a rocket onsie, but in my defense, it's darn cute.  And I assure you that if I have daughter someday, she will also wear rocket onsies and play with robots!

I used two different colors in the flames.  I really like the way that came out.  That's a little trick I picked up online thanks to Jenny Hart.  (Btw, both of the patterns for the onsies came from Sublime Stitching.)  I've been doing the mixed floss a lot lately, it always looks good! 

This was the first time I've ever crayon tinted on colored fabric.  I don't know how I feel about it, I think it's ok.  (I took this picture before I washed it after stitching, so ignored the pulled look of the fabric.  That went away in the wash!)

This is the other one I made for a different friend.  So many babies lately!  I also tinted it a tiny bit, although it's hard to tell.  I used rayon floss for the stork, it's super shiny.

Thanks for looking!  Now go make something :)

So little....

Doug called me up with a special request, an "I'm with Stoner" onsie as a joke for someone he knows having a baby.  We negotiated and a deal was struck.  Personally, I think it's stupid but Doug was persistent.  And frankly, money talks and bullshit walks.  I can honestly say that I was shocked at how darn small these things were.  Obviously, it's been a long time since I've held a baby!

I used variegated floss, so that it was purposely a bit hard to read, in the event that someone with absolutely no sense of humor happens to glance at the baby, there less likely a chance of a freak-out.

Even though he explained he didn't want a cutsie gift, I threw two more in there free of charge out of sheer pity because I think little bebes, especially girls, need darling little clothes!  Plus, what the heck I'm I going to do with baby clothes??

My favorite one!  Made with a Mitch o'Connell Pattern and crayon tinted.
