function+pretty = awesome project

being in a show sounded like a great idea...a month ago...now that it's 5 days away...there are not enough hours in the day!

thought i'd share a project so you can give me some feedback (i heart feedback - good or bad, seriously). i'll do another tomorrow. 

fabric boxes:
these are pretty simple.  there are a ton of tutorials out there for variations of this.  this is michael miller fabric.  i am loving grays with yellow right now! 
 
 
i'll whip these up in various sizes.  my husband suggested one sized to hold napkins...other ideas?

the perfect baby shower gift...

when i was pregnant, i could not wait for the day when i could find out if it was a boy or a girl.  i don't mean in the delivery room, i mean, with the help of modern medicine.  


fortunately for me, my sister-in-law is an experienced sonographer.  she is also kind, generous, and has always made me feel like a part of the family.  love her.  i digress.  so we were able to find out a bit early with both kids (one boy, one girl), then "make sure" each time we were scanned.


brings me to my pet peeve #64:  people who don't want to find out!!  i just don't get it.  :)  


anyway, i was asked recently by a friend to make a baby gift for one such mother.  i found it rather difficult to choose fabric.  so here's my solution:


a reversible pennant bunting with a little matching flannel pillow for fun!


One side has a fun funky, mod boy print. 
the boy side

The girl side is a happy flower print.
the girl side

Sorry for the horrible lighting in the pillow pic.  I was working late to finish it and had to get it in the mail the next day so it'd get there in time.
