Baby Stuff

Wow!  I can't believe so much time has gone by!  When I started back in January, I was so ready to get back into sewing and monogramming.  If you have read earlier entries, you know last fall I was diagnosed with Epilepsy.  I have not had any seizures since the first one at the end of October.  But I have had a horrible time with the medication.  I just couldn't tolerate the side of effects, then had an allergic reaction to the second one I tried.  The third one was ok at a low dose.  I have been on the fourth one now for about 6 weeks.  I think I have finally found one that I can tolerate and feel good while taking.  Changing medicines isn't that easy.  You can't just stop taking one and start a new one.  You have to wean off of one while slowly introducing the new one.  It has been a long process! 


Ok, enough of that, a friend of my neice recently had a baby.  I did a few things for her.  The pictures didn't turn out great, but here they are.

 These next two I bought some simple onesies and bought an extra one to use for the burp cloth.  It is an easy way to take an inexpensive item and make it into a nice outfit!

Baby gifts

Here are the items I did for a girl in my Bible Study group. She is having her third baby, her 2nd boy in a few weeks. So I did her a burp cloth, bib and a blanket. I couldn't decide on the blanket if I wanted to do the cross or an appliqué letter. So I did both on opposite ends. It turned out really cute!

Here's a couple of baby gifts. I love the cross!! The cross is on a burp cloth and the initials are on bibs.

chef girl

Here is a cute chef girl design. This is one of the very first designs I bought years ago when I first got my machine. Annamarye loves to cook and she had cooking birthday party that year. For party favors, I bought aprons and put this little chef girl and each girls' name on it for them. They were adorable!
This past Christmas the kids' elves brought them chef coats and hats. I finally got around to putting something on them. Here's Annamarye's She didn't want her name on the coat, just the girl. I used red when it got to the outline since the coat is white.

I got this cute design free from here. I had a couple of baby orders so I thought I would try it out
