Butterfly Mobile

After seeing this on Pinterest when Turbo was a baby, I really wanted to make it for her, but I just never got around to it. Now in preparation for Snow, I've finally completed it!

 I liked the more rustic, natural look of leaving the wooden embroidery hoop exposed instead of covering it with ribbon like in the tutorial. I also used 3 different colors of scrapbooking paper with the vellum in order to tie in some of her bedroom colors.

My Little Rapunzel

Turbo is going to be Rapunzel for Halloween this year, so I found a pattern online that I adapted to make the dress.

Crayon Wallet Tutorial

I hadn't planned on this being a tutorial, so I don't have pictures as I went, but here's a pattern and tutorial for a very cute crayon wallet that saves us when we go out and need to keep Turbo busy for a few minutes.

Pinterest Inspired Newborn Stocking Cocoon

 

How cute is this picture?

After seeing this picture on Pinterest, I knew what I'd be doing for Snow's first photo shoot when she's born in December. I however was not going to be spending the $85 on the cocoon that's sold by this website, and since I had made the Easter bunny hat for Turbo's first photo shoot I decided to work on making Snow a much better priced cocoon.

Not too bad for making it up as I went if I do say so myself.
