scraps & next show

so i am kind of a horder when it comes to cool fabric that i have used in the past. i dont like to part with it. so...i keep it. i really love it when i get to use those scraps for something cool. these are scraps that from all the flannel blankets that i make. a friend is having a benefit for her dad & asked me to donate. gave me a good reason to use up scraps & it was fun. cant wait to use up more for aonther baby quilt like this.

next show-saturday april 6 millard west (176th & q) from 9-4. i have been sewing like crazy so i have a great selection. my mother in law will also be there with her sewing-serindipity clothes (http://www.etsy.com/shop/SerendipityClothes). we'll be in wild cat 1 (1st gym) but please remember there are 2 gyms-there are lots of great crafters there. hope to see everyone there.

swaddling baby

Thanks SO much B for the pic of your little guy in his blanket. My babies are past the swaddle stage, even though it lasted for a good 5 months (til I found them on their side in their crib). But I loved it SO much. They always slept SO SO well. Thru the night at 1 month (well most of the night, most of the time). I think this helps with that. They cant startle themselves awake. These are big enough to use for such a long time and if you wrap right even the squirmyist baby has a hard time getting out.

a zizzle being loved

My kids LOVE their zizzles. I bet you guys are wondering where in the world I got that name? zizzle??? When I was little I sucked my thumb but ONLY if I had the satin blanket binding to rub between my fingers. Mom says that I named that blanket binding zizzle and it stuck. That is always been called at our house. Now any ribbon that makes the same feeling is a zizzle ribbon. Try it, the feeling is kinda relaxing. (at least to me)

Here we go

This is a paci/toy clip. My youngest didnt take a paci so we use them to keep toys from falling on the floor
My BIG swaddle blanket and a better burp cloth. This may be biased but I think they are the BEST blankets to use since you can actually use them past the time baby is over 2 months old. The burp cloths also STAY on your shoulder

And my kids favorite??? Their Zizzle blankies. Tags, lovies, whatever you call them. My kids have a favorite ribbon that they always seem to find and play with.
