Onesie Dress

 I am back! I've been trying to figure out how to fit in time for crafts, and have 3 demanding kids. Solution? Stay up really late and regret it the next morning. Sometimes you just have to have me time. I really wanted to make my girls matching skirts that they could wear to all the family Easter parties, but apparently this 3rd child has zapped all my brain cells and I can't remember how to make things. I did manage to finally get something to turn out. I know the pictures aren't great, but I was in a hurry because my two year old thinks that any time I try to do something besides give her my total attention she needs to throw huge fits. I can see why people stop at 3 kids. ha. We are hopefully finishing the nursery today so look for a post about that soon.

Decorated Onesies

We decided to have our 3rd baby be a surprise. Since, we have one boy and one girl we have things for either. This has been both hard and fun. I must admit though it hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be. I really don't mind unless I see something super cute at the store that I want to buy that is gender specific. In less than 5 weeks this baby will be here. I wanted a fun way to tell everyone if it is a boy or girl. The tricky part is my husband won't let me buy anything unless its gender neutral. No worries though, I came up with a solution!

I bought some plain onesies and had some chipboard cut outs that I traced onto fabric and felt to make the boy onesie. Then, I hand stitched it on. If I ever make one of these again I will use heat and bond or something to hold it on while I stitch. Maybe it will look straight then. :)

I had a hard time choosing what to do for the girl one. I saw a headband that someone made with singed felt flowers and decided to try it out. I really like the way it turned out!

Boy or girl I am SO excited for this baby to be here!
