Princess Leia onsie

 I just had a new niece born into our family and we are thrilled! I got to meet her for the first time this last weekend and she was adorable. To celebrate, I made her a little onsie in honor of her Star Wars-loving father. It's fun to make something for a girl every now and then.

   

Outfits for Ian

We were recently joined by a new nephew in the family. To celebrate, I made some little onsies. His family is way into Star Wars and VERY interested in Legos. As a tribute to his family, I made these onsies with some freezer paper and a little fabric paint.

Since I love the layered look, I added some sleeves to keep his little newborn body warm.

I hope he likes them!

Just for fun I linked these bad-boys over here.

My spooky skeletons

Mason, working on some spooky Martha Stewart cupcakes. What fun!
 My three-year-old really got into Halloween this year. He loved skeletons and insisted that everything be spooky in honor of the big night. Because I figured he would get a kick out of it (and because I love little babies and kids in snug-fitting pajamas), I made my boys skeleton pajamas to celebrate! It was well worth the effort and Mason hasn't stopped wearing his since!

 I made them out of black knit fabric and just turned the pajamas they already owned inside out to get the pattern. I then used fabric paint and painted the bones on by hand. I would have used freezer paper as a stencil, but the store I went to was out and I wasn't patient enough to wait. I'll make them again this year for all three boys and do it the proper way.

The picture below was the only picture I got of the full outfit. Not the best, but it will have to do.
