Finally got to make my motorcycle!


I have had this adorable idea to make a diaper motorcycle in my back pocket for a long time thanks to Pinterest.  I finally got my excuse to make one for my sweet friend that is due on Halloween and gave it to her yesterday evening.  I had so much fun putting it together and it really wasn't even too taxing.  Wanna make one too?  Visit Sweetaprils' blog for a fabulous tutorial.  Isn't it nice that she shared?

Since I know that some mommies are particular about what bottles they get for their little ones, I decided to use a sippy cup instead.  I actually ended up liking it better because I used the cup's two little handles to hold onto the blankie and keep it secure.  It also saved me having to purchase a package of washcloths to only use one to wrap around it.  Now I'm going to have to keep an eye on baby sales and discounted stuffed animals so that I will have my supply stash ready for the next little one!

Baby Bootie Bonanza!

As mentioned in a previous post, I seem to have a bit of an infatuation with baby toes lately.  I just keep finding the most adorable patterns for knitting to keep those little tootsies warm.  I've also discovered that this is a pretty good type of knitting project for me.  They are quick and the payoff is adorable!  Then I'm off to the next one!  Here are the projects I completed while on blogging hiatus.

Last, but not least . . . 
Cozy Bear Paws



I'll have to find a model for those last ones because my little man's feet are too big, but the camera just doesn't do them justice!  They whip together with Fun Fur yarn and a pattern from the book Wacky Baby Knits.  Too cute and the best part is that you don't have to be so crazy about seaming them just right!  Now off to make some Ruby Red Slippers!

Wacky Baby Knits



I am on a bit of a baby footwear kick in my knitting right now and I wanted to share the pictures of these fun monster booties that I recently finished.  I found the pattern in this wonderful book full of both funny and adorable baby things that I picked up at the library.  It's already been rechecked once, so I guess I may have to purchase it.  There are still so many things I want to make!!!

And now, the Nearly Nell debut of Mr. Cuteness and the monster feet!
