Headband- take 2

I cut the fabric and had most of this done months ago (like the day after I made the first headband). I don't even remember now why I hadn't finished it, but now it's done. Rowan graciously agreed to be my model- actually he BEGGED! I think his curls look pretty good with the headband :) So after I finished I realized I had messed up. 1-I totally didn't use a coordinating fabric for the brown side so the white is a bit noticeable, oh well that side I'll just wear at home. 2- When you cut these you taper the top of the headband so it is wide on the top and gets thinner as it goes down by your ears, somehow mine is thin at the top and wide by both ears- this was a part I did months ago, s don't know what I was possibly thinking- oh well!

"You look so pretty!"

2nd Pair- baby Shoes

I finally got around to making another pair of baby shoes. It was much easier the 2nd time, I love them! I used a canvas type fabric on the bottom hoping that will make them less slippery. I also put a waterproof layer in the middle in case he walks outside and the grass is damp, this will keep his socks dry ( genuis right? yeah if only I had thought to do it on the top too, since he doesn't walk yet it is more likely the top of his foot will get wet, oh well).

Doesn't Eli look like he's been tanning here? Our living room light is awful!

Blue Paisley Purse

I actually made this purse a few weeks ago, but never took any pictures of it. So I apologize for the quality of these pictures. I LOVE this purse, I made the handle longer on purpose so I could wear it across my chest/shoulder, although it is a little too long, but still works. It's big enough to hold 1-2 cloth diapers, travel wipes, an extra outfit for Eli, a small blanket, and my wallet and checkbook, and I'm sure there is a lot more useless stuff in there too.

The only major drawback is there is no zipper, snap or other closure so it's just open- see how easily Eli is taking ouyt my wallet? I might need to learn how to make it close for the next one, yes there will definetly be a next one- I've already picked out the fabric I want, but first I have to make my sister and my mom one....
