Baby Gifts - Round 1

I have 17 more days before the new baby of the family will be making his birthday debut.  I have been scrambling to get baby things made for my cousin to use with him.  My problem is this: I keep ADDING to my list!

I need to stay off Pinterest. 

Seriously.

It is toooo addicting.  Too much eye candy.  Too much of "ooooo!  I can make THAT!"

Instead of waiting for everything to be finished, here's what I've completed so far.

Bibs.  I found a very simple tutorial for the bib and I have 2 more in the works.  One patchworked and another with the waterproof PUL baby fabrics.  I should have modeled them on one of Punkie's dolls.

love the woodland animals

 Next... burp cloths.  I think these are going to be the death of me.  I was a bit zealous and bought the 10 pack of cloth diapers instead of the 6 pack.

And lastly, some flannel blankets.  Bigger than receiving blankets.  I have one more of them to finish.

On my Baby Gifts - Round 2 list are: last 2 bibs, finish up the burp cloths, 1 more blanket, a wipe holder and diaper clutch with changing mat and a soft fabric basket to hold some of this stuff.  Do you think I can do it in 17 days??  My cousin told me not to sweat it.  I asked her to hold him in a bit longer but she's really uncomforable (I remember that) and her c-section is all scheduled so I have no choice but to finish what I can and give the rest when Baby Boy #2 is here... the parents are still deciding on a name.  I gave them MY pick of names but they aren't biting.  Texas Ranger* (T.R. for short) was one of my picks.  *If you have seen the Will Ferrell movie "Talladega Nights: the Ballad of Ricky Bobby", you will understand my "Texas Ranger" name reference.* 

Sadly, I have been calling the baby "T.R." since she found out she was having another boy.  I hope my bad habit will go away once he's actually HERE! 

Enjoy your day!
