a Onsie & a Bumsie

As you all know I have been resting (stuck) in the house for the past few weeks savoring (and going a little crazy) the delightful (and some not so delightful) days with Addison...and Etsy. During "down time" I researched cute onsies, outfits, dresses, leg warmers, Mommy stuff, and my newest obsession...something called a bumsie. A bumsie is basically a onsie with ruffles on the bum. Although I have no sewing experience (got a D in the class back in 8th grade) and I do not own a sewing machine, I decided to take on the task of creating my own bumsie. A friend of mine just had a sweet baby girl and I wanted to gift her with something special so she was the reciepiant of my first bumsie. Keeping in mind that I HAND drew, cut, and stitched EVERY piece of fabric. Four hours and a cramped hand later this is what I got...



PS. I made the hair flower too!

I have also been working hard to create onsies to match Addison's oh so cute leg warmers. That's right folks, you heard me correct...Leg Warmers are Back and they're not just for grown ups anymore. This is the cupcake onsie I created to go with her cupcake leg warmers...



I so need a sewing machine and some lessons!
Keep checking back, there's more to come :O)
