Baby sewing

As I mentioned, I have been busy. Since my middle daughter, Maili, opened her box today, I can reveal what has kept me busy.

Here she is - due any day.

This is the cross stitched card that she is holding. Surprisingly, it didn't take me long to do.

 I call this a donut but I guess you could call it a nursing pillow.

Future daddy, Casey, thought it was a nice neck pillow.

The box.

Full to the brim.

 I guess she was a bit surprised.

I made a navy blue nursing cover.

Here she is trying it on.

Little brother Eric liked the onsie. (I didn't make it.)

Flannel blankets.

Flannel face cloths.

I had told her to take her pick of hats that I had knit.

Burp cloths.

A change pad similar to the top one - trimmed in mauve.

 A rainbow fabric basket.

 And a smaller fabric basket made with just a square of fabric.
Just a few, hopefully, useful items for mom and baby.

Now, I'm off to finish the baby quilt and the rainbow blanket. I'll take a photo of them once they are both finished.

Happy Mother's Day tomorrow!!
