Baby Ivy Eleanor is here!
Here is Megan and Ivy the day after she was born. It was such a beautiful experience to witness another person coming into the world. I was honored to be Meg's breathing coach during the delivery and be there to share the special day with her and Ivy. I am so proud of her!!!
I knit this blanket for Ivy with the most luscious organic cotton. It was an absolute treat to make! The color is just perfect too!! Megan isn't into super pink things-- I was so thankful to find this dusty rose colored yarn that I knew she would LOVE.
I embellished this onesie with handmade flowers using the DIY Flower Garland tutorial featured on craftgawker.
I thought white flowers on a white onesie would be adorable! I asked hubs for a clean t-shirt, put on some HGTV House Hunters, and got busy!
3 Tips for this project:
1. For small flowers, use a small spice bottle to trace your circles onto the t-shirt.
2. Use a needle grip! My fingers hurt something fierce by the time I was done.
3. You can use a washable fabric pen if you have one. If not, don't worry about cutting the circles perfectly to avoid the lines. Use a pretty color marker to add a hint of contrasting color to your flowers.
As you may recall, I embroidered some French knot sheep on a onesie for Ivy. This was too cute to keep a surprise-- but still the in-person response was over the top. My mom and sister are both pushing me to make and sell some more embroidered onesises. The sheep take a while, but it could turn into a nice source of supplementary crafting income :)
Do you have any favorite baby crafts to share? I would love to see them!!!
xoxo,
Auntie Ashley and Mister G
