Things for baby/gift store?
While at my aunt's house for a week dog sitting? I have no money and everyone (family) said to not buy anything anyway. I have school work (on line courses for jr college) and a few art projects to finish for Christmas.
I can paint decent, sew (if Mom lets me take her machine), and crochet. Well, almost any art type deal lol.
Any suggestions for thing to make for my son (he's due Feb 28) or for my mom's book and gift store?? I'm 21 weeks and 3 days today.
(Besides blankets lol)
CuriousG... That's cute. I wish I was showing. I'm not at all lol.
How about some burpy clothes, onesies, and if you feel ambitious, you could make a cloth diaper and covers in case you ever run out or want to do that.. Have fun! And since you are all artsy, you might want to do something like a mold with your belly that you can paint.
Added info for you.. just wait until you get big to do the cast of your tummy! It will be fun!
But, I just remembered another thing that is fun to make are those baby slings to carry your baby in. Just remember to add extra padding in the straps for extra comfort.
