I can't believe that it is March already! This school year has been flying by. It will be Easter before we know it which means that I have got to get those dining chairs finished for when we host Easter dinner at our house. I painted 3 of them gray, the same gray that is on our dining room walls and I hated it so now I am going in a new direction and I am very excited about it. I can't wait to share those with you but I have got quite a ways to go yet.
For now, I have some small projects to share with you. Yesterday I attended a baby shower in Bismarck, ND and it was a blast. I also had a blast making the gifts for the baby. I gave a joint gift off of the registry with a friend but I also decided to make a few things as well.
I made some onesies with fabric appliques using my Silhouette Portrait, heat transfer fabric interfacing and fabric scraps from my stash. There are two types of heat transfer interfacing: one that is lighter hold that is used if you want to stitch around the edges of the applique and a stronger hold one that is made for just ironing on the appliques without using the sewing machine at all. I had the latter kind on hand so I did not stitch around my appliques. The fox shape and North Dakota shape both came from the Silhouette online store.
I also made a card to go with my gift. The cut file was a freebie from this post from The Thinking Closet.
And of course I had to throw in a set of burp cloths. I should have taken a picture of the second one in the stack because it had cute jungle animals on it. The theme of the shower was safari so it went perfectly with that.
I hope you enjoyed my cute shower gifts. P.S. I won one of the shower games by not saying the word cute during the gift opening. That was no easy task my friends!
