Whats up with the name??

Once i heard 'Upside Down Pickle in a Jar' as a metaphor for a baby in a womb, and thought it was pretty fitting for our blog. This is for all the family and friends that Ben and I unfortunately dont get to speak to often. You can feel like you are here in all the action!

DIY CRAFT- Burp Cloths

I recently dug out my sewing machine for the bumper pads. And it's been sitting on the dining room table ever since. I also have used it frequently.
So I made these burp cloths, and I really don't feel like describing how I made them, because just thinking about it gives me a headache. But basically I bought some cloth diapers, fabric and used some ribbon and made up my own pattern and this is what I came up with:
These are folded just to show the decorated part. So they're actually bigger. The one with Georgia Fabric is for my sweet hubby. I figured I should make him a manly one for when he has Finn maybe with someone else, and he wont have to use all cutesy stuff. The ones with ribbon and the damask are one's for home. I also have other ones here that were bought. The paisley is for Mom's grandma shower gift, along with another ribbon one. The last one on the right is the flannel baby feet fabric that My grandma picked out, and I hated it so much because it was all cutesy baby ish. But turns out, it's the softest one. haha
So since I was sewing with ribbons, I just wanted to see what I could do, so I made this pillow out of a dish cloth-new- but I wont use it because it was just for fun.
BUT this is the green color I want to use in the nursery.
Oh I'm a crafty crafty Mommy!
