All Things Baby..Great Grand That Is!



I have had a really busy weekend. I have not had much time to sew for my Etsy because I have a more personal reason for sewing this weekend.

As most of you know I had a sweet little Grand born in June, but the little bundle of joy I am sewing for this weekend will be here in late September and she will be my first Great Grand!  I know I can't believe I will be a Great Grandmother either, but I am very excited and can hardly wait to meet Little Miss Mackenzie. Her shower is August 19th, so I have been getting a few things ready.  I have a few more things to make and hope to finish up this coming week.


This little dress is all about traveling turtles!  It is completely lined and ties on the shoulders.  It is a newborn size, fits up to 13 pounds.  Sure hope Miss Mackenzie is not too big!



I made this sweet little elastic headband to match.  It has a satin rose that matches some of the turtles on the dress and the super soft, super wide elastic should be extra easy on Mackenzie's sweet little head.  I covered the sewn seam on the elastic with soft felt to make it even more comfy.




This blanket is  reversible and has pink minky dot fabric on one side and sage green super soft minky fabric on the other.   It is trimmed with pink satin binding.  It is super soft and cuddly and the green matches some of the turtles on the dress.(trying to keep a color theme going here)



Sure hope Mackenzie loves her gifts, I have a couple of more things to make and I will be ready to attend the shower and celebrate the coming of this precious little angel.

Hope everyone will stop by and visit my Etsy Shop...Glo's Crafty Creations, I am working on adding more items so please check back often.

Leave me some feedback here on the blog if you like it, or if you don't.  Let me know if you see some changes I need to make.  I can use all the help I can get!
Thank you in advance.

Just a little update on my Grand born in June.   Harper is just growing up a storm!    What a little beauty she is.  She was 7lb 14 0z when born( June 11) and now at just 8 weeks (as of last Tuesday 8-7-12) is 13lb 9oz!  She is smiling all the time and beginning to coo.  I just love her to pieces!



Happy Sewing!

It is a type of fleece that is super soft! Much softer than the normal fleece. Look for it next time you are in the fabric store, it will be in the same area as fleece.

 It has been awhile since Meet Me On Monday has been active, but  Acting Balanced  has picked up the ball and I have linked up!  She will be asking 5 questions every Monday and I will answer them here on my blog...So let's get started!
