Bib #1 and baby shower

Bib #1
Originally uploaded by ::: a i m e e :::
This one is for Baby Niko Crane Benson

Materials:
Oil cloth front and dishtowel on back.
Double-fold bias tape for edges, 1/2"
Velcro
matching threads

I whipped this together pretty quick. This was my 1st bib experiment and it came out somewhat okay. I know it looks cute but the stitching wasn't up to par. I had a really rough time working with the bias tape for the edges. Edges are not meant to be smooth but there is a trick I haven't mastered. I have some cute ideas for the next bib project.

For the baby shower, I also bought the Bensons a baby carrier off their registry and some children book favorites shown below.


Two books I could not get at the store but will order it online are:
Popcorn: A Frank Asch Bear Story and Berenstein Bears: Inside, Outside, Upside Down













The Benson shower was Sunday and it was a nice relaxing afternoon with great people. Beautiful mother-to-be Kellianne is the pretty gal on the far right with the yellow flower in her hair. Buster, father-to-be is on the far left with the tie. An amazing couple that will give their baby an amazing life!

Celebrating Baby Niko!
There were two cool things we did at the shower. 1. Guest made little cranes out of patterned orgami paper which will be Niko's mobile hanging over his crib. Cranes are a symbol of good luck and there is a sweet story behind why his middle name is Crane.

2. There was a onesie station where you can customize a onesie with fabric markers. It was a great idea and Niko will surely be the coolest kid in our neighborhood.

Its been a while since I posted here. May was an insanely busy but AMAZING. There was the Highline High School fundraiser dinner. I never recalled my high school having fundraisers and since I don't have kids, I told Carinna I would join her for her school's fundraiser auction/dinner. It was fun, I won a bottle of nice wine and 3 of us bid on the "Taste of Highline dinner" where several moms and staff would make meals passed down from their families. We were able to invite up to 10 friends. There was Italian, Somalian, Soul, Mexican, and Hawaiian. There may have been another but I forget. It was sooooo yummy and was hosted at a house that was on Lake Burien. They told us there may be a boat involved. The boat turned out to be a battery operated dock that quietly moved in the water. That was a riot. It was a beautiful evening with stories of the meals with some of my favorite seattle friends. The weather had finally taken a turn for the nicer so for my friend Sar...

Summer came and went

Where did the summer go and what did I do. SOOOOO much. It was a great summer. I only ended up camping once but it was a good one. I went to PARIS! Which was gorgeous, romantic, rich in foods and simply breathtaking.  I wish I had time to post highlights of my summer but I can only suggest to check out all my photos since May on Flickr. It was a good summer in Seattle.
