Oh, Baby!

I actually took some time out to sew!! Yipee for me! I am in full speed ahead with Girl's Camp! Yes, I am the camp director. I am in charge of taking 31 girls (ages 12 -18) up in the mountain with tents and bugs and dirt in my food and hiking and singing "Koom Bah Yah" with smoke in my lungs! I don't know what they (my Church leaders) were thinking...my idea of camping is a bad motel. My only saving grace is the girls and my daughter will be there too!

I do have a fantastic assistant...Lauren. Lauren has the cutest kids! She blogs and quilts too! I think Lauren likes to camp. Can I nominate her for camp director next year?

To take a break from thinking about Girl's Camp I decided to do some sewing. I made a diaper bag filled with fun things for my cousin. I posted about her baby here. Baby is doing well...growing and getting stronger. She now weighs 2 lbs. 13 ozs.


So here is the diaper bag! I love the button! It's that blue flower thing.


I made her a diaper clutch. I figured this would be great to have during Church when she has to make a quick get-away! It's just the right size for one diaper and the compact size of wipes. Although Stefanie could fit 5 of her baby's diapers in it!! Her baby's diaper look like a sanitary napkin with tape! Sorry, is that too much information?


Here is the open view.


I made burp cloths too!


I had enough fabric to make a little changing pad.

Two more weeks till Girl's Camp! I hope I get to sew a little more before I go...I hope you get to sew too!

Piece & love,
Dawn

Thanks for the update on your sister's baby. I was wondering how it was going.
Also, good luck at Girls Camp. I just got released from YW and won't be going this year. (Not too disappointed about that one).

I loved girls camp!! I don't think I'd like to be a leader of 30 girls though!! Have fun!

I love your chic diaper ensemble! Glad the baby is doing well!

Everything is so cute!!! Stephanie is going to love it all! I love the bag especially!

Lauren said...

Ah my gosh!! Those are so cute!
When I have another baby will you hook me up?
And no.. please do not nominate me for any callings! I like being the assistant :)

Dawn, those baby things are darling! Stephanie will love that you are not only her cousin, but a dynamic quilter and creator too. Love it all! To girls camp...and then off to the wild life!!

These are all as precious as can be! You did a wonderful job! I have never been camp leader but I know that when my 3 daughters went to girls camp their leaders were soooooooooo important and they loved them so much! Does that make up for all of the stress and hard work? :)

Sheri Howard said...

That is so darling! Why didn't we have such cute things when I had babies?

Abby and Stephanie said...

Stylish baby goodies. Just say NO to camping! That's my motto. I need indoor plumbing and a electric outlet.

So glad to hear the baby is doing well. Lovely bags and other goodies to go along with it.
I love to camp but I think it is alright to nominate Lauren next year for the job. That is a lot of girls too. Have a great time.

What a lovely bag and so contemporary. I know mom and baby had to be very pleased. I have noticed my daughter and daughter-in-law are going for the more non-traditional baby bags and accessories.
