Makeover Monday: 2/25

~*~

This is a standard issue US hospital baby blanket.  It was mailed to me by a repeat sosorosey customer, because this one belongs to her good friend who recently had a baby.  My customer wanted 3 eco-friendly "Baby's First Ornaments" made as a gift for the new mom!

I really like how the striping made flecks of color throughout each star.  They all say "Nolan 2012" on  the charm, but each star is slightly different in pattern placement.  What a sweet and thoughtful gift!

All Wrapped Up

I had a request in my Etsy shop yesterday to make 3 brightly colored upcycled magnets. My customer asked that they be wrapped separately, and that I include a note about what they "used to be".

They came out so cute that I just had to share the wrap job! Wouldn't these be adorable as party favors? I could make all of the magnets out of baby blankets for a baby shower! Or all out of a particular color for a bridal theme! Or all red and pink for a Valentine party! I wonder if I am the only one who gets so excited over possibilities and cute little things? Say it's not so :)
