DIY Burp bloths and a Giveaway!

My DIY is actually my SIL's Julie's creation. Julie makes burp cloths out of terry cloth towels and flannel fabrick. Here is a picture of Sarah modeling one for us. She is lookin' cute under that purple terry cloth and butterfly flannel burp cloth. That was back when she was small enough to use it as a blanket. Seems like forever ago even though it was mere months. Heavy sigh.


I have quite a few of these and each of them has embroidered words on them like "Daddy's Angel", "Mommy's Miricle", "Cuddle" and of course Sarah's name. I can't tell you how awesome these burp bloths have been. They are great for bath time, spit up, spills and what not. I have a particularely spitty baby and the terri cloth has been a life saver for soaking up the mess. They have also been a great pillow when I have to change Sarah in a public place.

Julie and I would like to offer as a giveway this beautiful set of three burp cloths shown below. The pictures is a bit dark but one side is a blue flannel with rubber duckies while the other is yellow terri cloth. The third blanket is a lighter flannel with the same yellow terrie cloth and says "Splish & Splash".



Just leave a comment telling who you think would be a good recipient of these awesome cute burp cloths and I will randomly select a winner to be announced on Monday when Pastor Todd Estes guest blogs.

Oh fun! It's a tough choice between giving them to my brother for their cutey-patootey new baby (1 week old) and one of my best friends (our pastor's wife) due in February! Love your blog!

Just find your blog. I've added it to my favorites!
I would give the burp cloths to a friend expecting her fourth child. She could use something 'new' for the baby.

These would be very cute for one of my son's playdates. Her mama could really use them as she spits up everytime she eats.

DIY Day a bracelet and another Frenchh Memo Board

Image
This week, I have two DIY projects. This is a faux pearl bracelet I made last week for a friend. It is a three strand bracelet. I couldn't really say how I did it though. I can say it has taken me a while to get the nack of jewelery making. One thing I have sufficiently gotten the nack of is this French Memo Baord thing. Here is a magnetic one I made for my fridgerator out of left over scraps from the window from last week . For the month of September, all my DIYs will be giveways. Atleast one will be...well, a guest DIY and a giveway by my SIL over at Read Be Tween the Lines. My sister, Candy and Ladybugs has a picture in her side bar of her latest crosstiching (did I spell that right? My spell check didn't catch it but I don't think thats how it is spelled) project. Its pretty sweet. Check their blogs out on my side bar of my favorite blogs. I've found so many new favorite blogs, I need to update that list. Add that to my to do list. :) Update: Happy To Design...

My second greatest creation!

Image
I did it, I really did it. I've never done something to at this scale of work. It took me many hours but I did it. I am so proud of this DIY project. My first DIY Day! I would be remiss in mentioning that this little beauty is my best DIY and that handsome man there, well, he just melts my heart and fortifies it all at the same time. Here is the plain old dirty six paned window I have been hauling with me every where since I found it a few years ago at a Habitat for Humanity Restore. I had it done up before but that was a novice's attempt at crafty. I knew when I saw the other crafty DIY projects floating around the blogosphere that I would need to get serious in order to play with the big dogs. Good thing all you blogger peeps were also my inspiration. ;) With out further adue . Did I spell that right. I need to learn French. Not really. I'm so doing this on purpose. Ok , here it is..... Three French Memo Boards, one cork board, one pane for a grocery list and ...

Inspiration

So, I am reading this book, $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau. I'm not planning on starting a business or anything. Its just super inspirational. I like inspirational people. I have this friend, Kathrine who is the best sewing person, sewer or whatever you call it in the whole world. When inspiration strikes, she sews stuff.  I think that is freaking awesome. I have friends who have passions and they just go for it. Love it! My brother, Justin wanted to design toys. He did it. My brother and sister in love, Scott and Laura wanted to start a youth horse ranch. They are doing it. My husband was a sweet little country boy who wanted to go to the Air Force Academy. He did it. See the pattern? I like being inspired. So $100 Startup is a book full of people who find themselves not so much in a career or really intending to make it big but they just start down a path and do what they love. I asked a musician I know where he dreams of playing someday. He said that he just wanted...
