Puffy Christmas!

It's going to be a very puffy Christmas for some very special little nuggets out there. Here are two puff quilt blankets I just completed using the Honeybear Lane tutorial:



And in case you missed them, two that I've made in the past:



Hands down the best baby gift ever. Fo serious.

Girlie Stuffed Elephant

Remember the stuffed elephant I made for baby Vaughn? Well I liked it so much that I decided to make another for my friend Mike when his baby Hannah was born. This was another 'we're going to wait to find out the sex of our baby' situation so I had to wait until she was born to make her gift. Here is a pic of the girlie version of my tags and textured stuffed elephant:

Hope she enjoys it!

Snuggle Down!

My Mom is going to a baby shower for her friend's new granddaughter (she was born early so she's already here) and asked me to make something for her to gift. I was told that the new mom was a little bit goth and was having a girl. So, I found this awesome jersey cotton fabric and decided to make a swaddler. Apparently babies love to be wrapped up like a burrito and cuddled. I used a suuuper soft fleece for the lining and no-snag Velcro to hold the flaps in their 'swaddle position'. I think it turned out extremely cute and I can't wait to make another. Hope it goes over well at the baby shower this weekend! Here are some pics:

Let me know what you think!

Auburn Baby Gift: Finished!

I handed off the Auburn-inspired baby gift yesterday. I was in such a rush I forgot to photograph the final package and the booties, but here are some pics of the blanket and hat finally finished:
