Burps and Bibs

Having three new babies in our family (extended) this year, I have found that I love to make bibs with coordinating burp cloths.  If you would like a handmade gift for that baby shower, but don't have time or inclination to make it, just contact me.
The burps match the bibs or coordinate.  They are made of cloth diapers with fabric trim to match.  The bibs can be embroidered with a design of various baby items and/or a name.  The Little Lamb bib also has a black lamb appliqued on it.  The bibs have a large snap fastener rather than scratchy Velcro.  Colors and themes made to order.  Fabric is cotton or flannel.  Train fabric is cotton.  A layer of batting prevents drippy chins from leaking onto clothing.  Choose small for birth to 6 months or medium for 6 months to 18 months.

Prices: Plain reversible bib and burp $8.00
           Bib embroidered on one side and burp $12.00
           Bib embroidered on both sides and burp $14.00

Three Babies in a Year!

The year 2009 was a banner year for our family. Three little girl babies made their arrival - Eva (great-granddaughter) was first in March, then Kate (granddaughter) the very last day of June, then Grace (granddaughter) in August. They are so darling, each with her own little personality. I have the opportunity to get to know Grace the best because she comes to my house every other day to be cared for while Mommy works. She was 6 months old today and has learned so much in that time. She loves watching Baby Neptune while she plays in her ExerSaucer.     

Eva has learned to pull up to furniture (or my legs) and walk around holding on. She has a big brother, Anders, to learn tricks from. She's very smart and sly.

Kate lives in AZ, but has been to visit a couple of times. She's so pleasant and mellow and will let anyone hold her - as long as she can see someone she loves in the room. She's very tall and growing fast.
