Crafty Gifts for Babies

So before I became a Mommie, I had NO idea what to buy people. I wanted to buy them something that is useful but I had NO idea what they might need or want. So for any of you reading this and I bought you a baby gift pre-having a baby, I'm so sorry! I had no idea what I was doing!

Now that I have my precious Brylee Jayne, I know what I love so I thought I'd share. The timing of how old the baby is always difficult to figure out. If they're born in November and I get them summer clothes in 3-6 months, what good am I doing?

So something I love making for all my friends that are having babies are these little personalized onesies. I actually stole this idea from a friend of mine, that made some for Brylee!! So I can't take credit for it, but they are GREAT, inexpensive, but personalized little gifts. Here's a couple different ones I've done. Let me know if you'd like me to make you a couple...I've got all different types of materials/ cut outs for the front!

Some Mommies and I were talking the other day, about how cute monthly pictures would be in a onesie with the # month on the front of it. I need to get on this new project! I didn't do it for Brylee, I was too overwhelmed, but if there is another one, this will have to be a MUST!!

Also, if you have a sweet little girl, or know of a sweet little girl being born, I've got TONS of flower/ bows for the top of her head. As you have probably already seen. Most every flower/bow she wears, I've made...so let me know if you're needing some cute little accessories. My philosophy, The Bigger the Bow, the better;)

Another thing that we LOVE, are the hardback/ cardboard books. While I can't make these, Brylee and I will sit for HOURS, just reading (really I'm reading and she's playing at this age). But of course, as an educator this is a BIG thing for us!!
