Baby Blankets - Winnie the Pooh - Boyds Bears - Bibs & Pillows

I found this quilt piece in the bargain bin at Walmart for $2 and I already had a huge piece of brown fleece so I cut them the same size - pinned right sides together and then just sewed around them. Our school is doing a baby shower for a women's shelter so I was looking for things I could make and this is one of them.

I hope some one gets it that really needs it and loves Winnie the Pooh.

I also made this Boyds Bears blanket (same instructions as the Pooh) cute bunny bib and 2 little ABC pillows. I will try to make a few more bibs tomorrow. It is just a simple pattern that I found at Walmart and can be made in less than 30 minutes.

Lollipop Baby Washcloths

I made these several years ago and now I have seen them on Pinterest so I thought I would whip up a batch for my blog. These are really cute and can be used for table centerpieces at a baby shower or as a gift.

Items needed:
baby washcloth
baby spoon
ribbon
tulle
tape & small rubberbands
*something to put the lollipops in:
  bucket, sippy cup, baby bottle, flower pot decorated - your choice

Fold the washcloth until you have a long strip and then roll it around and around (here I show the 3 stages) then use a piece of tape to hold it closed.

Put a piece of tape on one side and press it into a baby spoon (for the stick) and wrap  tulle around it - securing with a rubber band and then tie a ribbon around it.

You can also cover with tulle only securing each end with rubberband and ribbon for a piece of "candy"
