What I've been up to

To be honest, most of what I've been up to these days is dotting i's, crossing t's, and running around like crazy! Still, I've found a little time to make some fun things. I was soooo lucky that law school was less crazy this semester, so I was able to fly home to throw a baby shower for my dear friend. I was also able to find time over the last couple months to make some really special gifts.

This is a Taggie Blanket. Little ones like the feel of the little satin tags, it's got fun textures for them to play with and snuggle on. I made one for my friend's shower, and another for a friend at school who is expecting a girl. I love the little owl ribbon and the print on the brown courdoroy!

This is a quilt I made for my friend. Owls are so trendy right now, and we ended up doing an owl theme for the shower. I'd like to say I made it with love as my only motivation, but when she opened it, and everyone gasped, that was pretty awesome, too. It's still a bit wrinkled in this picture, but with all the hubub, I didn't get a chance to get a good photo after I washed and pressed it.

To go with the owl theme, we had guests at the shower share "Words of Wisdom" with the Mommy-to-be. The notes people wrote were so sweet!

Here's just a little shot of the decor my mom and I made for the shower. It was so darling! There are little owls on most of the flags, which were tied along 16 feet of bannister!
