I need to get better at this thing...

Well, as the title states... I'm not very good at posting on this blog. I haven't gotten the hang of it, but I'm going to work on it. I really think it would be a good way for me to keep track of all my crafts and blogs that I adore so much. Also, I forget to take pictures of the crafts that I've been making...so that doesn't help out this blog much easier. But, I'll work on it, promise!
I did start.. and slightly fail... to make something that I took a picture of. I have lots of friends who are pregnant, have babies, or are planning to have them in the near future. I have been seeing tons of baby gifts on the blogs I read and have been saving them into a "I'll get to these at some point in my life" folder. So, I decided to make one the other day. The pretty famous ruffle-butt onesie from here! The only problem... you needed to be able to sew. Now, I'd love to say that I was a sewer...er, seamstress...but I'm not. I can do your basic line, but that's about it. Throw in corners, zig zags, and all those other sew-y things and you've just about lost me. But, I did know someone who could sew... my Mom! Dum dum daaaa!! I asked her to help me and she obliged!

There is Mom, hard at work. I promise I was helping too, but someone's got to take the pictures!The first ruffle row done. All finished! But, it is sitting in my craft room...you can't give someone a gift that was your first trial. It just might fall apart before it even gets opened, but I'll keep working on them because I think they are adorable.I guess I need to buy my very own sewing machine...
