I haven't posted anything for awhile. It's not that I'm not crafting- I am. It's just that everything I have made has been from someone else's blog. I am seriously suffering from a lack of creativity. I'm a good copier- just not that great at coming up with things on my own. That being said, here's something I put together for my sister-in-law, who just had her second baby.
If you have ever used baby washcloths, you may feel like I do: they are so soft for a baby's skin, but really flimsy. I decided to try to combine the best of both worlds and make my own. I used a soft flannel fabric for the front and terry cloth for the back.
A couple of these washcloths, plus some fancy baby soap, and I've got a great gift that's part handmade, part store-bought (but usually appreciated!)
Did I mention my husband's family is very crafty? The women in the family are all wonderful sewers and very creative people. I on the other hand, make what I can make, and that's just how it is.
I have some great Christmas crafts to complete. They might not be my own ideas, but I will post them anyway. Maybe you will find a link to something you haven't seen before.
If you're visiting from a blog hop- welcome! Leave me a comment and I'll return the blog visit!
What a cute idea and YOU have been someone else's inspiration today. My niece just had a baby and this would be a wonderful gift to do for her. (Yes..I said my niece which means now I have a great niece but HEY I'm still young..I think..I forget sometimes..hehe) Even with doing something that you saw someplace else it can still be a part of you...it only takes a small change to make a big difference sometimes.
