A to Z & All Things In Between






Alexander, Carter & Zachary are three lucky little boys! They each have their own special blanket to snuggle up with. My super sweet little nephew, Carter, has an airplane themed bedroom (Daddy's in the Air Force) in blues & greens. That theme was the inspiration for his "C" scrap quilt. My sister just loves it & one day Baby Carter will know that it was made with love!
Alexander & Zachary are two little boys, twins, who I don't know. I was asked to make a special blanket for each of them. I hope they will love their blankets as much as I enjoyed making them.


Baby Cakes


It was requested of me by a lady at work to make a beautifully cute diaper cake for a baby shower she will be attending. She said that their theme is elephants & music notes. She showed me an adorable shower invitation in a soft green & gray stripe with an elephant. Unfortunately, fabric with music notes & elephants is a bit hard to come by, so I improvised with a soft green flannel & a black & white polka dot fabric. I wrapped the diaper base with a swaddling blanket & some burp cloths, topped it off with a cute elephant and added some baby essentials & flowers to fill in the empty spaces. So far I've not created a diaper cake that my customer didn't love; I hope this is no exception.
