A few weeks ago I had two baby events the same weekend. One was for a girl... ...and one was for a boy.So while I was spending time "taking it easy" on the couch I cut out some fuzzy flannel elephants and stitched them onto onesies and burp cloths to take to the gatherings.

Wrap Skirt made from a Circle Skirt
In case you missed this post a couple of weeks ago on The Crafting Chicks. One thing you will notice about me on this blog is that I love to make skirts.

I spent $16 on these…
Yea, you read that right. I spent $16 on a pair of jelly shoes for Grace. Ridiculous? For sure. But when a pair of shoes speaks to you sometimes you just have to buy them regardless of the price. And baby, these shoes were speaking to Grace.It was literally love at first site....squealing, clapping, jumping up and down. Yes, my friends it was a love connection right there in the Disney Store.
