I feel so busy these days and am {ok, I'll admit it} having a hard time keeping up with everything. Not sure what the deal is since "being busy" isn't out of the ordinary for me. But that's okay, I know how to take things in stride. Day by day. One {super awesome fun!} project at a time.
This week I'm focusing on a handmade baby gift for a friend of mine who's baby shower is at the end of the month. She likes the bright pink and black zebra stripe theme, so I'm going to put together a pink and black handmade gift bundle for her.
I contracted my talented mom to make these sweet little Mary Jane's in black and white. She's thinking about adding a sweet little pink flower too. I can't wait to see them when they're finished!
I pinned a bunch of stuff this week for handmade gift and shower ideas, and plan on starting something tonight.
What's your go-to baby shower gift?
I tend to pick something for the child to grow into. I once picked a really nice table lamp shaped like an animal that gave off a very low light- good for Mama and baby for those late night feedings and changings. I once picked a little step stool which I thought would be handy for years.
ReplyDeleteOther times I have gone the traditional route and picked onesies because a baby can never have too many changes.
I do, however, love the things pictured.
Oh, a step stool is such a good idea and I see them everywhere!
ReplyDeleteThe Mary Jane's are so gorgeous! I must admit I usually do the bootie thing as so few people seem to know how to make them nowadays... but there are so many great patterns around!
ReplyDeleteI still have all the handmade booties that people made for Milo when he was born. It's such a sweet, traditional gift. Oh my god, I can't wait to post the photo of the Mary Jane's that my mom made. They are indescribably cute! Stay tuned :) 'chelle
