Hook Em and Burp Em

Well I have been a busy bee.  Last week I sewed Little Britches an entire outfit- dress, headband, shoes, and a matching burb cloth.  The outfit's colors are blue and gold, otherwise known as yellow, in honor of my alma mater's homecoming this weekend.  I will take pictures this weekend and let you see my handy work.  Before I started that project however I made a burp cloth for game days at home.  You see, my alma mater is a small school whose football games are not televised or even reported on the news, so we cheer for the local university's team that has an excellent football team.  We needed that special burp cloth for those times when game-day snacks just got to be a little too much. ;)  Here are some pictures of Little Britches on game day and her new burp cloth:

Stictches for EGM

We have friends who share our last name, though they are not related to us, who just had a new baby girl! They named her a different first name than our little britches, but used the same middle name and, of course, last name. Her initials are EGM while our little britches initials are MGM. How fun! Our little britches has a name buddy! Anyway, I am working on a stitching a gift for EGM. I have already embellished a cloth diaper with some fun material sort of like this one.

I took the same material and added a skirt to an onesie. For the first time, I gathered and attached a ruffle to the skirt. It turned out pretty cute. I am working on adding the finishing touches to the dress so that the gift can be delivered. EGM has an older sister, and as a older sister whose younger sister was in the hospital a lot and often got tons of gifs, I want to make her a little something too, but we will see if I can squeeze it in between the running and caring for little britches. When I finish the project I will post pictures.
