because we were sequestered upstairs during the playroom renovation.......i figured i could (and should) get to work on sheíla's baby gift. her little boy is due at any time now. i love that she did his nursery in monkeys. i found these adorable outfits at babies r us, and i just had to get them! i found the little handpainted monkey hangers and i just couldn't not buy them! ha ha. and because i know brandon loves his little carter's puppy dog, i went to target and got the matching carter's monkey. i wanted to make sheíla something handmade, so i decided to make the baby burp cloths. i searched high and low for fabric with bananas, but never could find any. actually, i did find some...but the background was sage green and didn't match the outfits. and if you know me at all...burp cloths and paci's, etc. all have to match! at least they do on my kid! anyway, i slaved over my ironing board (inside joke) and then sewed my little heart out. i hope that when sheíla uses them, she is reminded of how special her friendship is to me, and it's my way of being a part of the baby's life even though they are thousands of miles away.
and a snippet of the card i made baby boy. everyone is already wild about him! i can't wait to meet him!!!
congrats chris and sheíla on the upcoming arrival of your sweet baby boy. your family is in my thoughts and prayers during this most exciting time in your lives!
