We tried.

A friend recently order this trio of headphone onesies for her newborn baby twin neices and singleton nephew.

If these kids don't grow up to be in a bitchin' cousins rock band, it won't be because we didn't try.

Rock on.

Peek of the Week - April 15, 2011

Our new Friday feature - the Peek of the Week - is all about you. I want to hear (and share with my readers) what wowed you this week. It could be a cool finished project, a work in progress, a personal accomplishment, a cute kid moment, or something that surprised you.

If we could peek into your week - what would you want to show us?

Each week I'll share my Peek of the Week to get the ball rolling, and invite you to link to your own blog posts about your own Peek of the Week. I know y'all are up to cool stuff - we wanna see it!

Here's my peek:Remember a while back when I sneak peeked this? Well, it's finally done!
I finally finished the quilt I've been working on for tiny newborn baby Amos (who is now staring down his 20 month birthday).
I found the fabulous tree fabric from IKEA (which is opening in our town in the fall - can't wait!) and I sewed around and stuffed all the trees to make it fun and textured.
And it's soft on the back side. Dizzy likes the soft side.
What a sweet baby in his little homesewn bed.

I know. I should start sewing Lil' Sis' baby quilt now. Maybe it'll be ready in time for her to take it off to college.

Now it's your turn!
How it works:

1. Each Friday I'll post my peek of the week, and give you space to link us up to yours.
2. Blog about your Peek of the Week - whatever it is. Whatever happened that made you proud, laugh, smile, inspired, excited, or just plain happy - now that's worth sharing.
3. Include a link to this blog or put the Peek of the Week button (on the sidebar) in your post.
4. Link your blog post using the InLinkz button below.
5. Visit some of the other linked posts to see what folks are glowing about this week.
Leave them some comment love and expect some to be coming your way.

If you don't get a chance to get here on Friday, feel free to link your post up later.
The InLinkz button will be active for 5 days.

Seeing Double

Happily Home Sewn has doubled its fun. While back I whipped up teeny identical boat pants for even teenier identical twins, Rowan and Asher. And here they are all grown into their super cute britches. Dapper, no?

Baby Geekery

A lovely Rabbi friend of ours and his delightful wife recently welcomed baby boy Amitai Peleh. The fella was giddy with excitement at an opportunity to use his Hebrew geekery to craft them a baby goody.

Well, he geeked. I crafted.

The Hebrew reads:

Jonah 1:1 - "And it happened that the word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amitai."

Can't wait to meet the sweet wee Amitai!

Baby Magic

I have been the happy observer to a lot of baby magic lately. My own blessing aside, all around me lately little baby miracles are cropping up. There are very few reasons to get crafty I like better than to celebrate magic, so I've been busy and happy.

First off, a long time friend and fellow potter became proud Papa to identical twin boys Asher and Rowan on the December 29th. These teeny little gems will have to grow and thrive in NICU for a few weeks, but otherwise they are hearty and strong. And they are terribly stinkin' cute.

I made for them matching preppy boat pants, like my boys wore for Easter last year.

My boys were dreamy cute in them, but I can't even imagine the cuteness of 3 month old identical hineys wearing these dapper britches.



Next up, a friend of a friend is having triplets. Triplets. The very idea makes my knees buckle. I am so happy to be crafting for them, instead of, you know...having them.

For these three I made custom burp cloths with a birdie theme.
To quilt them I stitched trees and a birdcage. Love it.

Next I made a little onesie to celebrate the birth of an Aussie baby, the lovely Hope Lily.
That one was really fun.


But perhaps the most fun was all the peachy themed goodness I cooked up for baby Georgia Marie, who was born on December 19 and lovingly and joyfully adopted by my dear friends.


Now that was too much fun.

So...who's next?
