Baby Sewing

I have been doing some sewing for the baby
I bought this cradle at the Hesston Barn Sale for $20.00 - what a steal!!
It only had primer on it, so I put a fresh coat of paint on it one afternoon
(some of you may ask what Russ was doing - see him laying on the porch swing)
 I had seen this fabric at our local fabric store (Charlotte's)
and fell in love with it, but would could I use it for?
Once I got the cradle, I knew this fabric would be perfect
This blanket I made for the baby is made out of leftovers
from a dress I made for London last fall
This is one of my favorite Amy Butler prints
The only part I had to buy was the boarder and backing
I asked London if she thought the baby would like it
She promptly told me no but that she liked it
Made some burp rags out of scraps
a few of these were also bought at the Hesston Barn Sale
Receiving blankets
I did not make these - a friend at work made these for me
She asked one day what she could do to help get things ready
I told her I had some material for blankets and it would be great if she could put them together
Thanks Kathy 
I haven't left London out
I made this cute little skirt/short or skort
Not sure what is really is, but she loves it
Nice and full but yet has pants in it
I also made London a dress and top with shorts
I don't have pictures of them
I also made her "baby" a blanket and burp rags
She wanted me to make her "baby" somethings
She will get these after "our" baby is born

I still have several projects I would like to finish
We will see what all gets done

Do you still have your crib? We are getting rid of ours and the changing table if you want it (for free). Also, we're planning to come up sometime this month and I will bring your clothes with me. I've been putting it off because the attic is so hot and I don't want to go in there to get the tubs! Hope you're doing well!
