Since our PCS in March I haven't had the chance to unpack my sewing machine. Going on 4 months without my machine I decided I NEEDED to get it back out.Just this weekend, I knocked out a baby gift set for a friend who lives in Ks (thanks to the Air Force) Her gift set includes a diaper bag, baby blanket, nursing cover (aka hooter hider, or boobie bib) 2 burp cloths and since her new baby will have older sisters and brother I made their girls their own tote/purse and brother a super hero cape!
Another friend back in Tx is having a girl, so I've found myself wanting to run to the fabric store to make this friend something too. Since she has 5 older kids I may make something small for each of them, but can't guarantee anything :)
Lastly, Don has an Airman whose wife just delivered their first child, a boy. Being away from home, and being a first time parent I wanted to show them we are here for them, if they ever need us. So, I was happy to make Carson (the baby) a diaper bag and matching baby blanket.
With so many of our friends near and far who are now expecting I think I'll be able to keep busy making baby gifts. Since it's gotten so hot here in Az, I think my next step will be to make my girls summer dresses!
It feels so good to create, and work using my brain and hands again!

LOVE the totes!! Those are adorable!! So glad you are getting your "fix" and getting to be creative. I know how you feel, my fingers are itching for a paintbrush but I have no space yet to be able to go paint without little fingers too, hopefully after school starts!:)
