May day baskets

Nobody seems to make Mayday baskets anymore, but I loved getting them left on my doorstep as a kid, so it's a tradition I've carried on with my girls.

Paper flowers taped to drinking straws-

Lollipops in paper flowers-


Baskets of goodies to leave on the doorsteps of friends-

Happy May day (a couple days late ;))

Initial tee's

It all started with my friend Jessi asking me to make a shirt out of some leftover fabric scraps to match a skirt she'd made for her daughter.

Of course I did an initial because that's all I ever do lately, but jazzed it up a little with a circle of the coordinating fabric and a little bow!


Then I wanted to make a baby gift for a friend from work who just had twins, so I went with the same idea-

I added a cutie little hat to keep those baby heads warm-

A pretty little rose out of matching fabrics-


Then I started thinking they were turning out so cute - Claire needed one too-


with matching socks-

then I added some ruffles on the backside, because everything is better with ruffles-


Then I decided maybe a skirt would finish off the outfit-

I might have to make her one of those hats too, they were so sweet!
Yeah, I get carried away sometimes - at least I didn't make one for myself :)
Hopefully she'll be feeling better this weekend and I can get some cutie pictures of her wearing it to post!
