It's true. I love making something for someone that I know they'll love. I never give a gift that I wouldn't love for me or my kids. And let me tell you. June is the month of a gazillion birthdays in my family and circle of close friends. My beautiful friend, and amazing mama of 3, Rachael, had a baby AND a birthday within 2 days, and she requested that I make her a diaper bag. She did NOT have to twist my arm! I love makin' those. Wanna see? Wanna? K.
I especially love that green button on the blue side of the bag. So cute! I think, when I sew something, I always lean towards mismatching everything. I love the whimsy of it. Don't make fun of me for saying 'whimsy'. I like that word.
Then, my little niece had a birthday today, and I thought I'd make her a blanket for her baby doll! I knew that her aunt was buying her a new baby doll, and of course, she was going to need a blankie! I kinda copied
this tutorial but instead of just making a plain pillowcase, I added a bunch of cute appliques. Check it!

| That squirrel is alot smaller than those flowers. Ha. Must be some HUGE flowers! |
I had a helper while I was pinning:

| "I really wanna touch that pincushion." |
I did actually finish 3 projects today: 2 skirts for Bella, and a maxi dress for me! Will take photos of the maxi dress tomorrow. Now that it's done, I'm so motivated to keep sewing for myself! Never thought I'd want to do that, but I am loving it. So fun to make my own wardrobe. Next on the list: another maxi dress made with a PATTERN. (That's not a swear word to me anymore. ha!)

The bag looks great and the doll quilt is so cute, I'm sure everyone will love their gifts! Btw, to me it's just a baby squirrel. ;-)
