Having a baby girl in the family is so much fun. I finally have an excuse to make all the cute little girl projects I've bookmarked over the years!



This is another little ruffle skirt, but I tried to downsize it for an infant. I think it's still a little big, but we'll call it growing room! The shirt and leggings are from Old Navy - not a project I'm ready to tackle yet!

I couldn't resist giving my nephew Charlie several new books for Christmas, so of course he needed a new book bag to carry them all in! He loves picking out books at the library, so I thought this would be useful to carry his library books.



All the fabric was in my stash - it feels good to be trying to use some of it. The pattern is a slightly downsized market bag with a patch pocket.



I don't know how much enthusiasm a three-year-old can have for a bag, but I sure like it!

A while back I posted a fitted sheet I made to coordinate with my niece's black and white (and green) nursery. Well, once she was born and known to be a girl, I thought she needed a girly sheet, too.



This is snuggly flannel and so cute, I think. I also made one in black and white gingham.



Now Maggie doesn't have to sleep on any uncoordinated crib sheets!

I thought it would be fun to give my sister this set of earrings, almost every color of the rainbow! Peter pointed out that I'm putting myself out of business, but I know she'll still have requests.
