Introducing.........Pink Baby!

April 11, 2010 1 Comments
First I must apologize for the {bad} quality of these pictures. They're from my cell phone and the lighting in the McDonald's play area was bad awful, but Pink Baby (aka P.J.) looked gorgeous. The outfit is too big for her, but cute nonetheless. She is the same size as H, but 3 lbs lighter. She's a skinny-minnie. Hopefully by the time that summer weather returns the dress will fit, but at least it will fit for a while! So enjoy! Hopefully I can get some good quality pictures soon.


Front and back views. adorable. simply adorable!

Pink Baby's gonna look good!

Well Pink Baby's dress is DONE, and if I do say so myself, it looks awesome! I had a lot of fun making it. I forget how fast baby clothing goes together. The pattern I used was Butterick 5439 and I will definitelly have to make it again for the babies (it does have some rompers suitable for boys).

I am in LOVE with the hat. Not only was it super simple to put together but it's also very easy to customize. My mom has made two of these hats for  H, and around the band she added some elastic. I did not realize until today that the elastic was not a part of the pattern, and now (damn you, hindsight) I see why. I may have to add some elastic to my hat, but we'll see how tomorrow goes.

Template design is hard....

April 08, 2010 9 Comments
So I got tired of the look of the old template so I decided 3 days ago I would 'design' my own. It looked fabulous in Photoshop! Making it look that good in real life........HARD, but I finally got the basic look down.  I have some more tweaking to do because the font sizes are screwed up....but it's up! Yay, me! To all of you that do design templates...KUDOS. You are far more talented than I, and probably less stressed about it. I completely feel like these last 3 days were some of the most frustrating. The basic design probably took about an hour....the rest of the crap on the other hand.....oh my. I wanted to give a shout out to a blog that helped saved me. I looked at every tutorial and then followed the ones I wanted meticulously (the three column, button, menu, and background). Thank you April Showers Blog Design!
