For Cade, I made a little soft ABC/123 book with the beautiful quilt scraps Chelle shared with me. I didn't have a pattern, but I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.
For Rylan, I made a dolly. (She's holding a bouquet of pretty lollies; I'm not sure mom will thank me for that... lol). If you turn the jammies and hat around, dolly has a sleeping face on the other side.
I wasn't sure which book I was going to choose for their library until I got to the bookstore and saw Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. My two older kids love that book, and now they enjoy reading it to Emma. When the kids saw it sitting on my sewing table, they both insisted on reading it before I could convince them to go find their own copy on the bookshelf. Our family really loves that book, so I hope Rylan and Cade do too. (I forgot to take a picture before I wrapped it.)
I also tucked a few goodies in for Momma Leslie (a teacup and tea, a tube of Camille Beckman French Vanilla lotion, and a package of chocolate covered gummy bears).
I can't wait to see what the rest of you have been up to. So far I have definitely been impressed!

oooh love this Dawna. The book is so cute and you did SOOO well just making it up from scratch!
I also love the doll. I had a cinderella one that had two faces too - absolutely loved it as I'm sure Rylan will love this one.
It's so great to see all the gifts starting to come together :D!
I'm so tickled by these projects that are all using quilt scraps. So very adorable. So wonderfully coordinated.
I don't know what Rylan will like the better - the cute doll OR all that fabulous sugar?!?
