Cat in the Hat Diaper Cake
Perfect timing... I mean that because it is Dr. Seuss week... But also because my sisters baby shower is on Sunday and we convinced her to let us do a Seuss theme shower so that we didn't have to double make decorations.

It's Stinkin' Cute Craft Thursday #44
There were so many wonderful links this week it was hard to narrow down. So since I want to post 4 I am going to be short and sweet (need to take the doggie to the groomers in a minute).
This quilt from The Polka-Dot Umbrella is just beautiful and stunning!!!
This AG bunk bed from Domestic Deadline will be a must have in my house as Laci gets older. I mean 70-80 bucks for one of the beds at the store is ridiculous and this is just adorable!
Mom's of all Trades has done it again with an awesome little shadow box banks. I LOVE IT!
Last but not least I will have to keep these on my to do list for Laci when she gets a little bigger. She has a thing for Willy Wonka and this Golden Ticket Reward System Printable from My Digital Creations is perfect!
Thank you to everyone who linked. I love looking at all of your ideas and hope you have a great week! To this weeks features go grab a featured button. Can't wait to see what you all come up with this week!

Baby Gifts - Part 3 - Diaper Wipe Holders
**** UPDATE - My pattern and tutorial is here... You will love it if you make one! ****
When I had my daughter, one of the things I hated the most for the entire diaper period was how it looked when I was taking her to change her in a public bathroom (restaurant, store, etc.). Not that I hated taking her... that isn't where I am going with this. I hated carrying the small wipe case and (1) diaper out in the open by itself. Not to mention if you put diapers in the bag all by themselves they get really gross and crumpled. You get my point right?!?
So I set out on finding a good pattern. Problem was, the pattern that I was using wasn't a pain in the rear end to get the diapers and wipes in there. I was trying to find the design that I used to do, but didn't put a picture on flickr. So I went to the inspiration for them so that you could see a picture. Basically they were just like this and not easy to make.
It was not really user friendly and I wanted a better design. So here is the design I have been working with since early 2008. It is an envelope style D&W holder that can easily fit a small wipe case and 5-8 newborn diapers (cut me some slack on remember the exact number - my baby has been out of diapers for over a year and a half... hard to believe she will be 4 in 16 days!!!).
Here they are...
This is a shot of both of them closed.
This is a shot of both of them opened (insert oohs and ahhs because the fabrics are swapped.... I know pretty cute!)
Here is the monkey one with the wipe case peaking out.
Here is the dot one with the wipe case peaking out.
This shot is to show you that there is still plenty of room to spare in this sucker to stick a ton of diapers.
If I had to pick a favorite thing from all the stuff I was able to use with Laci it would by FAR be these diaper and wipe carriers. You can even fit a FULL size Desitin on the side of the wipe case. We didn't have to use it much but when I needed it, it was very handy to have it in there too.
I LOVED THESE!!! What do you think?
