Baby/Toddler Homemade Items
Ok, so I have been trying to be more 'crafty' lately. I just decided that all the things I love when I have babies that I can never find I will make myself. It started all with those infant car seat covers that fit nicely over the top of your baby with the peak hole. No blankets to mess with, love it. Well I looked EVERYWHERE since I knew I was having Keyton. I could never find one. Well my cousin is having twins and a friend of mine's sister-in-law just had twins. I was surfing Etsy.com and came upon a PATTERN to make them. ONLY $3.80. So if you want it, email me I would love to share it. Simple and fun. So because I always find myself little sewing projects I decided it was time to buy a sewing machine. I have made 3 and am going to finish the other 2 for my cousin this week. Pics to come. Well this sprung an idea that maybe I should make them, sell them for less than what others sell similar ones for just because I know that I would buy them for gifts as well as for myself. (did that even make sense? lol) Then my idea sprung to more things that I LOVE. Full-size hooded towels.. who doesn't love these? Seriously! Super easy and like I said.. I would sell them for not very much (can you tell I am crazy or something) I don't want the money, just want to share the BEST baby/kid things. Next on my list are burp rags. I was shown the CUTEST pattern ever and so simple and they absorb a ton! Which is such a plus. Other things I thought of are those cute crayon/pencil holders (simple) Nursing Covers that are large to cover ALL. and last idea is Bow Holders. I don't have any girls (yet, maybe one day in a few years ;)) but EVERYONE buys those super cute bows that everyone is selling, well where are you going to put them? Found some REALLY cute ideas. Anyways, I guess is what I am saying, simple, cost effective for all, and fun! Am I CRAZY?? Where will I ever get the time to make them? Give me some impute.. all you Mothers out there, would this seriously be worth my time? oh, and I must stay out of the fabric store... a person can get in a lot of trouble there, have you seen the NEW MINKEE patterns, WOW!!

You need to post some pics of what you've done already! I think it would be fun for you if you can ever find the time to do it! That is the hard part though. Your plate is already pretty full. I need to get motivated to do something fun like that... cuz I have more time than you do. But...
