Here is a quick shot of what I did in May! I feel like I got nothing done, but looking back I guess I did :)
There was a scrappy doll, and homemade receiving blankets that turned into "cupcakes"!
My babies adorable Pleated Ruffle Butt Onesie, yummy Apple Snicker Salad, Easter Outfit details, including where I found patterns for my Buddy's adorable tie and Baby's sweet little Charlotte Dress, as well as Dolly's shirt I embroidered for her!
I also had LOTS of requests for embroidered shirts from friends, with a few including the airplane creation and the ruffled diaper cover!
With a house for sale, and FINALLY some nice weather up north...I doubt June will have too much!

Pleated Ruffle Butt Onesie
I love ruffles, I love pleats, I was too lazy to "ruffle" properly, and so we have the Pleated Ruffle Butt Onesie!
Very simple, very fast, VERY cute :)
I used a 3-6 month onesie
1. Cut 3 strips that are approximately 3" by 19" long and iron each strip in half
2. To avoid extra seams to sew through/hid, I went the route of extra ironing. Fold in each edge about a 1/4" and iron flat in half again.
Now, to skip "ruffling" and give it a more pleated look, follow these instructions!
3. place the bottom ruffle in line with the top of the leg opening and pin in the center
4. Pin both edges where you want the ruffle to end
5. Pin the middle of each side
6. keep pinning the middle of the bubbles until it is as pleated as you would like it to be
7. No sew a quarter inch from the top. I sewed mine messy so it wasn't a smooth pleat, but more of a cross with ruffles.
8. Do the same with the top 2 ruffles, placing them so the bottom of the ruffle falls just on top of the sew line of the previous ruffle.
Enjoy your cutie in the ruffle. Throw it under a dress so that when it flips up she's adorable!

Yummy Blanket Cupcakes
It's the first day of summer for my kiddo's, and I'm SO not ready! They were only in preschool, but still, I liked my few hours to get some things done, and to cuddle with the Baby. :) Today my Dolly is begging to go outside, but it is not nice out, and so it all begins!
Now, on to the Yummy Blanket Cupcakes!
These are so fun, and so cute!
Start with a receiving blanket for each cupcake.
I made mine, also simple! I took a yard of flannel, squared it up, and then used an overedge on the edges!
I didn't take many pictures, but you get the idea :)
I used about 8-10 coffee filters for each cupcake.
I cut the bottom out of 4-5 and slid those of the cupcake, then slid the other 4-5 on the bottom.
Use a rubberband to hold in place
Cut some cute ribbon to cover the rubber band, hot gluing in place!
To top them:
1. I just rolled the blanket a little crooked so it would swoop up
2. I added a pacifier clip that I made
3. I added a flower headband that I made!
I bought a cake box from the store to place them
Tie closed with a ribbon and give as an adorable baby shower gift!
