More Baby Sewing...

My sewing skills have either reached their peak or have honed in on 2 things - burp cloths and wipes.  Remember I posted last month about starting a batch of homemade burp cloths and a few cloth wipes?  I finished those:

And then...I got to digging in my fabric box and then a friend dropped off more fabric for me and I found some terry cloth I wanted to use to back with some flannel, and, and, and....

You see where this is going right?  I made more.  Even after I had all ^^^^ those.

While double cotton flannel aren't my favorite burp cloths I know a lot of people who love them.  And I do love a layer of flannel with a layer of terry cloth.  I already told you - if I have a baby, I want a spit cloth and I don't use them till the end of the day when they are nasty and gross...if it's puked, it's laundry...so we *do* go through a lot in our house.  {Excuses and justifications anyone?}

While chatting with a cousin friend who is due shortly after me, I heard her say she liked the double cotton flannel sewn into the contour shape.  So when I got to digging in my bucket & found so many cute fabrics I couldn't NOT make her some, true?  Another homeschooling mama from our group is pregnant with her 11th so of course, even baby #11 needs a few new.  And then, a friend who has moved away announced the adoption of their baby #6 in a few weeks...so a surprise package MUST be sent their way. 

Stop the rambling, Jenn. Just show the pictures.

I may have gone overboard.  Twenty-one (23 if you count the 2 I made Xavier for his doll babies).  Plus the 18 I made from prefold and flat diapers.  But it was  BLAST to take my two stashes (the diaper cloths from last time and these) and divide them between us all.  I even have a few tucked up to gift another day.  The mama due with #11 knows her's is a boy...the cousin and mama with baby #6 coming don't know the gender.  So it was fun to choose "girly, boyish, and neutrals" to give out to those 2 and to macho man up the other mama's package.

Sending/giving packages that people aren't expecting has to be one of the funnest things for me in life!

And I'm super excited about all my little burp-y cloth sweetness.  Truth is, I'm running out of prep work and kind of just need a baby so I'm gonna have to find something else to focus my attention on (selling the house, finding a new home in our new town?...psh - you people!)

I finished out my stash of little homemade wipes too, using scraps from the burp cloths:

In other news...I ordered a little something for baby and a little something for me when I did our last vitamin/household goods order online.  The spray is a recommendation from my sis, who is an RN on an OB floor...she said another mom had it and said it was a.maz.ing.  If you've ever gone through childbirth you know amazing is exactly what you need after delivery. ;)

Baby season is in full swing here folks!  And we couldn't be more excited!! (Sorry for all the rambling...being pregnant apparently affects my ability to focus.)
