Hooo’s Pregnant & Kitchies

Recently we found out that my brother-in-law Andy and sister-in-law Becky are expecting a baby mid August. They are going to be wonderful parents. They are crazy about their nieces and nephews and Josh and I are so thankful they love Harper the way they do.

We are SUPER excited about having another niece or nephew. So of course I needed to make the new little peapod something to let her know we are thinking and loving her even before she arrives. Now I am calling the baby a her because I think Harper needs another little girl cousin, but they haven’t found out the sex yet, so the burpcloth I made had to be somewhat neutral. So I went with an owl. That’s right, an owl. I thought it was cute and bi-genderish. Also hence the title, “Hooo’s Pregnant….” So check it out. A little blue, a little yellow, a little green and a little pink, Perfect for boy or girl peapod.

About my Kitchies…(this is what I am calling all the new kitchen items I have been working on) again I am giving these to someone as a gift, but if you like what you see let me know. The first is a potholder that I jazzed up. The second picture are two dish towels that I added some flare to as well. And the third picture is of a notepad (for grocery lists, etc)….now this didn’t quite go as planned. I totally dropped the ball about really thinking this one out. I just went right to sewing without even thinking about the fact I that I wouldn’t be able to sew along the metal spiral side. So that’s why there is no stitching and I had to do some hot glueing. Oh well, you live and learn. It’s a little crazy looking too. I hope the recipiant can look past the notepad’s quirkiness and know it was made with love. Enjoy!
