Since I have been feeling better I decided to make a few things for the babies. Being an engineer, I am not very artistic but I can follow directions and copy other people's ideas. :0) While shopping for craft supplies, I came across the Christmas ornament below. I just loved it and had to have it!
My good friend, Haley, made closet dividers for one of our friends. I just loved the idea and thought it would be helpful to organize the babies' closet. She shared the following blog with me that she used to make the dividers:

Anna Kate's Bow Holder
As soon as I found out I was having a little girl I was so excited to buy hair bows and lacy clothes. While organizing the nursery closet, I realized that I needed a means of organizing Anna Kate's hair bows so I looked on Etsy for ideas and below is what I came up with. All of the materials came from Hobby Lobby and were very inexpensive.

I used wood glue to apply the letters and a staple gun to attach the ribbons. I sewed a washer at the bottom of each ribbon to serve as a weight. I was going to glue the washer on but decided for safety reason's that I would sew the washer in. I didn't want to create a choking hazard. I love the way this project turned out!

| I made the ribbons really long to hold several bows |

| I think Anna Kate will love the crown and owl |
I also made burp cloths but will include in a separate post since this one is so long.
