Project "Baby" Runway

Our aunt Jill and cousin, Hillary, invited me to their house for a crafting activity. We made these adorable apron dresses for babies which was inspired by a local designer in San Francisco. It was definitely such a cute idea for a baby shower present. I was surprised on how easy it was to make. I guess it's because you only use a tiny piece of fabric and just bedazzle away! Also, I do believe having ALL the tools you need makes all the difference. Jill had a high-tech sewing machine where it does embroidery and things you probably can't imagine a sewing machine can do. It was very impressive.

                       I made the first four dresses in the picture.

 The one on the left was by Hillary and the one on the right was by Jill. Just makes me smile!!

   I love designing and being creative. I'm almost done with the baby room and recently I have been making hair bows and headbands for Melody. My sister-in-law, Lindsay, taught me how to make them while I was in Chicago and I'm definitely hooked! I just bought a bulk of ribbons and headbands through E-bay for really cheap and went crazy on it. My bow making adventure has already begun.
  I just started to plan our "Welcome home baby shower" for the baby. Adam's wife (Chris' cousin), Stefanie, was nice enough to offer and help me plan it. We're still working on details, but it's gonna be a Hello Kitty themed shower! It's not going to be a traditional baby shower for women only, it will be a co-ed party so all our friends and family will be able to come spend time and meet the baby.
  I may be going too crazy with preparing for the arrival of this baby. I'm not gonna lie, despite of all the back pains and stress that I've been feeling, I'm having so much fun and it's all worth it.! Having this baby makes us very happy, very excited and most of all grateful. All I wish for right now, is that she will be healthy and Chris and I can be good parents to her (^-^)/*
