A good friend of our family had her 3rd baby a few weeks ago. She's one of those girls, that never finds out if she's having a boy or girl until the actual birth day. (I could never have waited 9 months to find out!) Already having 2 sweet little boys, we were all kind of hoping she would be blessed with a girl this time, and they were!!!
I knew I had to send some pink, so I made baby Abby a snuggle chenille quilt.
Inspired by the yummy colors in the sweet dress my mom found, I went through my chenille stash to make a coordinating blankie.
It felt good to complete a little sewing project again.

The other day, Lori shared a tutorial on how to make a snowman box. If you haven't already taken a look at the Joli Paquet blog, you must. Lots of fun Holiday projects await.
I think my frosty turned out ok, but I'm a little disaapointed with his head...
it's a bit on the big side.
I used some fabric to cover the box and for the party hat too. The craft store I went to was out of celluclay so I bought fastmache' instead. Overall, I think it worked out ok. 
I'm working on a different snowman box now. I'll let you know how it turns out...
Oh his head looks just right to me. Now I want to try one.
ReplyDeleteThat chenille quilt looks so sweet and perfect for a baby girl! What a lucky little recipient! Your snowman turned out great!
ReplyDeleteOK...both of these things are way too cute...to die for cute! Thanks for sharing. Is all of your chenille old? I had not ever thought about making a quilt out of just chenille. just love it
ReplyDeleteI love those baby girl presents! Your mums dress is to cute and your self made quilt is to die for! Makes you longing back to those days. I wanted pink for my girl and dresses and I made her a quilt myself. Somehow I received clothes for her in bold colors and when I finally got something pink for her...it were trousers :-( ah but you know what girls want! I think your snowman is perfect! Cannot wait to try myself. Have a nice day!
