Baby Projects

No these are not baby projects for me but for my friends who recently had their babies. I took an idea off of Pinterest and made it my own and adding embellishments to onesies is now my new favorite baby project ever! I love this project because onesies are inexpensive and I use scrap fabric from my very large fabric stash. So all the expecting mothers that I know will be getting their own personalized baby onesies too.

My first attempt was with this cute little birdie onesie for my friend Jenaca's sweet baby girl Brindy. I just have to say that Brindy is absolutely adorable! She is so teeny tiny and I just love her already. Since both Brad and Jenaca's families live in Cody I am officially claiming Brindy as my adoptive niece (I still need to inform Jenaca of this plan)...

I pieced this little bird together with scraps, zigzagged the edges and added a button eye. Sorry the pics are so small! I don't know why that happens.

The next little baby that received some onesies is Courtney's baby boy Karsten. Ryan and I just went over today to give them to Courtney and once again he is adorable. He has blonde hair and just slept in my arms the entire time I held him. So cute! (Can you tell... I'm a little baby hungry!) Courtney and her little family will be moving to Arizona and I am sad that we didn't get to know them better while they were here. I learned my lesson, I need to be more friendly and hang out with friends more before they move away!

Here is a little car. The tires have little buttons but its hard to see in this tiny picture.

And I made a monster! Ryan said he looks like Mike on Monsters Inc.

And my favorite, the whale!

With this project I discovered Heat Bond! Why I have never used it before is a mystery.. Why nobody ever told me about it is also a mystery. It is the absolute best invention ever! If I didn't want to sew anything I don't have to! But of course I love adding the little zigzag around the edges to make it look finished and extra cute. I am so obsessed with making these and it is so easy. I plan on making some for my four nieces (one on the way) and one nephew next. Then my own when that time comes.

Bangs

Kristen has inspired me or got me thinking about bangs. Right now my bangs are getting long and I push them to the side. They look exactly like the picture below. Boring and blah.

Should I get a full side bang?

Or front bangs?

Decisions Decisions.

Red

I guess I am like my mom when it comes to red hair. She has always loved red hair and lately so have I. Every time I see someone with natural or awesomely colored red hair I wish I had red hair. But I am not sure I could pull it off.. I really really want red hair but red is a scary color to mess with. Maybe someday I will go for it.

Love natural red hair.

And I love this bright colored hair. This I really don't think I could pull off but I love it.

I guess this is just another case of hair envy.

Fingers crossed... hopefully my future children will come out with red hair! Ryan has some red hair that has gotten darker as he has gotten older so I can only hope that my little kiddos will be carrot tops.
