Ready for the postman

So, I made it! I'm all finished!
It's been a blast thinking up lovely gift ideas and working on them,
but I am thankful to be done. :)
I made a word pillow for Rylan and Cade's nursery.
Leslie really liked my girly word pillows,
but decided against them until she found out if she was having a boy or a girl.
Good thing too since they would have gone the way of all the other cute pink things
from Rylan's room.
Their new pillow simply says "Play"


I made a patchwork back from all the left over scraps
from my other scrappy projects made from the sweet package of scraps
from Chelle.
(Did I say "scraps" enough?)


Detail of the button closure on the side.

I also made a little fabric ball for Cade and Rylan to play with.
There is a jingle bell or two inside so it makes a sweet noise when played with.

And I made Leslie and Cade two stacked coin burp clothes that mimic
the quilts.


Here are all our gifts together, along with Rylan and Cade's book.
A collection of Virginia Lee Burton's most famous stories.
Sorry, no picture of me/us with the gifts...yet.
Maybe later tonight.
This has been so much fun!
Love to you guys!
