115: Baby headband #7

This one is a good reminder that headbands don't have to be complicated (or take a lot of work). I cut a strip of extra stretchy fabric, then tied it in a knot. So basic! This reminds me that these headbands are just accessories, the baby will be the real draw!

114: Baby headband #6

Bows can be just as cute as flowers on headbands. Also, very easy to put together. If I get some extra minutes, I might make a bunch of these (great use of all those leftover hems from old t-shirt projects!).

113: Baby headband #5

This was one of my favorite of the headbands I made, hopefully it'll look cute in pictures down the road! :)

112: Baby headband #4

This cute headband involved some fabric twisting to make flowers. I was nervous that the flowers would easily untwist, but glue guns are more powerful than I give them credit for!

111: Baby headband #3

So I almost feeling like I'm cheating by calling this a project since I literally just cut 3 strips of fabric and braided them together, but I think it'll be a cute little basic headband that we might actually get a lot of use out of. We'll wait til the little head arrives so we can custom fit it. I keep being struck by how tiny these little headbands are!

110: Baby flower headband 2

We have a sneaking suspicion our little lady will be short on hair when she is born, so cute headbands will come to the rescue to add a little girliness. Here was a super easy and cute fabric option. No baby to model it yet it (and I thought I'd stop bugging the poor dog), hopefully we'll have some cute picture updates in about a month!

109: Stuffed Hobbes

This was my most ambitious (and most tedious- a lot of hand stitching) project yet. While this is technically a baby toy (stuffed animal), it also functions as an anniversary present for my husband, who is a big Calvin and Hobbes fan (and even found this pattern for me!). Let's just hope our little lady (due in 5 weeks) likes it!

108: Polish-coded keys

Nesting + planning for people to live in your house during maternity leave = lots of organizing!

This little project was an effort to make sense of our key collection. Easy trick? Use nail polish to color code your keys! I made a little cheat sheet as well. Though in an effort to save more time, once the polish dries (which takes a while on keys, so try to be more patient than I was) I'll probably write a reminder (e.g. "F" for front door) on the keys as well.

107: Patterned pillow covers

Our green couch covers have needed some spicing up for a while now, and while the solid maroon pillows add a little color, we still needed something to pull it together. Pillows were on sale at the craft store recently, so that just left a decision about what pillow covers to create. I debated between a few designs that added some flair, and decided to pattern the pillows off the linked simple striped pattern. Easy to put together and super cheap since I was able to use scraps (yes, it seems we have old Tshirts in pretty much every color). Now we'll see how long if takes for the dogs to destroy these!
