These NCBE sets are for an old friend who had twins in November. They were born at just over 30wks and were able to come home last week.

Using a tutorial from Craft Apple's blog, I made this nifty little notebook cover. I absolutely love the fabrics (Tiddlywinks, I think)... the colors are so bright & funky!

I was planning to make these as teacher gifts, but I don't know if that's going to happen given the current health status of the house. I am trapped tomorrow, so maybe I'll get started as long as everyone can keep from getting sick!

The following few posts are gifts for a triple baby shower I won't be attending tonight (sick kiddo). This is a great pattern (New Conceptions Baby Essentials) and goes together so nicely! This particular set is 6-9m size.

Snowman Ornament

Every year I do an ornament exchange with a group of women I've known for 10 years. We were all due to have babies in July 1997. This is my contribution this year :)

It's really painful for me to do things without a pattern. My brain just doesn't easily work that way! I saw something similar to this in the craft store, but of course there was no pattern sheet so I had to come up with something on my own. I used black beads for the eyes, a deco stitch on my sewing machine for the nose and French knots for the mouth (you know, like coals). Not too shabby if I do say so myself!!
