getting ready for some babes
As I have mentioned many times, my sister is expecting her first child. Obviously we are anxious to meet this sweet little girl. Like every baby, many family and friends are eager to finally see tiny toes, ears, and a perfectly round mouth!
So I guess to make time go by, I quickly agreed to make my sister bumper pads.
Now- not only am I making one set, but another set as well. We are all crazy excited to meet their other child…her name is Ruby and will be adopted from China (my other sister has Jane Lu). How fortunate can they (and us, too!) be?!
When I was pregnant with Penny, I made her a set of bumper pads for a portable wooden crib we used. I liked the challenge of “figuring” out a pattern and making something for the forthcoming babe. I also liked the over stuffed look…actually, like little pillows.
Anyway, I will be giving the first set to my sister tonight. We are members of a really terrific book club and I am hosting the meeting…it’s sort of a “book” shower for her too! Okay, better start making those pizzas!
