Baby Gift for Miss Madyx

I can't help it, I love to be crafty and cute. It is in my blood. Actually as I was at my sewing machine making myself feel better last night I asked my mom, who had come over and was sitting there with me, if she was thrilled when I started being crafty. Her answer was a resounding yes. She said that she was very happy that she had someone to share her gift with. I on the other hand am very glad to have received that gift.

So remember when I was miffed that we were not informed that there was a baby shower for one of the owners of where Laci is at Cheer (also where I went 12 years ago, so I have known this person for a REALLY long time)? Well I got over being miffed at the old team mom and decided to make a baby basket gift that would WOW no matter the fact that it was a week late.

So with out further ado, here is the completed gift basket that I made for little Miss Madyx. Isn't it adorable? I loved how it turned out.

Madyx Gift - Resized for Blog

Question, if you actually went out and paid for a basket this adorable, how much would you pay or someone that had a lot of money pay for it?

Basket includes:
(2) Diaper Wipe Holders with Newborn Diapers and Small Wipe Cases in Each
(2) Monogrammed/Bedazzled/Gussied Up Onsies
(4) Monogrammed Burp Cloths
(1) Flower Headband
(4) Lollypops (Washcloth/Spoon Combo)

So how much would you pay or suggest for retail on this beauty. Be real and give me what you think it should go for and also what you would pay for it.

Here are some close ups of the goods!

So I know you are all wanting to know about the tutorial for the diaper wipe holder. Well I did take REALLY good pictures when I was putting it together, so now I have to figure out how to make a pattern, any one experienced pattern makers that want to help me out? No... ok... I'll figure it out on my own. Anyways, so I am working on that for ya'll. It may take some time to write up because it is going to be VERY picture heavy and lots of little explanations here and there.

Have a great day everyone!

Highs and Lows #7



I have to say my list is working out rather nicely. I don't forget what I want to write and then in turn have things to talk about.

Highs
1) The Gift Basket for Baby Madyx was finished and given (I think and hope that the mommy to be liked it a lot, because a lot of heart went into that one)... I still need to upload pictures from my camera.
2) Speaking of uploading pictures... I still haven't uploaded pictures from the zoo. Boo!!! Maybe tonight when I get home since Jake is out of town and my computer is already downstairs I will do it.
3) Had a wonderful weekend with friends and family for Memorial Day. We had friends and family come over on Sunday and did a HUGE cook out. One of the couples brought their son who is totally adorable. Laci and Darian played so well together. They are just super stinkin cute. They played in the water and with bubbles. It was so much fun!
4) Family came over Monday and we cooked out more. I love spending QT with family!!!
5) We started playing soccer again on Friday nights with our friends. I played ok, Jake scored (he is a natural) and needless to say the team had a great time together. Jake has since decided that he is going on a diet because he felt like he was going to die after the game was over. I told him that might have something to do with the fact that he played two games. He insisted that it isn't.
6) Can't tell you how much I love my job it is that much, but I can tell you I had an awesome day at work on Thursday! It stinks that what I do I can't tell everyone about it, but just know that what I have been trained to do is finally sinking in my brain and I am getting to use my skills! It is super awesome!
7) Took the doggie to the doctor. They were REALLY nice seeing as how I hadn't taken her in for a while. I signed her up for the wellness plan and she got lots of shots, but most important she got medication for her skin. (update on that it is starting to look better, we go back to the dr on Friday) I did get told she needs to come in for a teeth cleaning which I already knew. She won't be too happy about me taking her, but her breath is stinky... so it has to be done since she won't chew on bones anymore.

Lows
1) When having that super awesome so much fun cook out... we got flies. They were bad... I mean really bad. It took till Thursday night for them to pretty much be gone. We are still killing one or two here and there, but this is crazy. Have I mentioned yet that I hate flies! They are yucky! <-- more on flies issue next week... kind of like a TBC... 2) Doggie had some wierd skin issue on her back. They were like white heads all over her back. Very gross... ewe! Took her to the doctor as stated above. She is doing much better. 3) Doggie runs from me every time I go to give her the medication... When will she learn I am going to win. 4) Didn't get to work out once this week... I don't think anyways, I can't remember if I did, so I am going to say I didn't... <-- that is how my weeks have been lately. Pretty much a blur! 5) Still trying to do thank you cards for Laci's party... finally got them printed off, now to write on them... oh wait, that would require me knowing where the list of what was given to her is... I feel stupid now. Just Sayin'! I know there were probably more lows, but really that is all I can think of. The flies were the worst. Totally gross! Insert Gag here... Anyways, as always I am really enjoying linking up and I think that this list thing is going to work out pretty well for me. :o) Have a great week folks!

It's Stinkin' Cute Craft Thursday #57

I have already seen some cute new ones for this week! Thanks for linking already this morning...

I saw this and want it more than you know... PLEASE give an in depth tutorial on this... like where you got the fabric and everything I really LOVE it... (I promise this post is not alcohol induced - I realize I am sounding like a crazed lunatic!). What is it that I want a tut for? Well...

Dame Design Studio linked up an adorable Flower Power Maxi Dress that I would love to make for none other than myself! I think that would be a fun easy way to get into doing clothing.


Although I don't want an In-N-Out Burger Wall, I do want to try one... they just opened one up in Frisco and I really am looking forward to trying it once there isn't a 2 hour wait or I don't have to go at midnight. Anyways, La Dee Da Creations must like it a lot to do a tribute!


Hope that everyone has a wonderful day! For the two features, make sure you grab a button! Can't wait to see what you all dream up next week!
