Gifts for baby Oliver

Okay so I am about to burst from the anticipation.  One of my dearest friends, Ali has a twin sister, Lisa who is in labor as I type!!!  He may even already be here by now because the last update I got was that she was about to begin pushing and that was over an hour ago.  His name is Oliver Cash and he is one lucky little guy!  Not only does he have a family who already loves him to pieces, look at his nursery!!

How cool is that?  Makes me wish I was in the blogging world when I decorated my girls' nurseries.

And since Oliver is clearly going to be the trendiest and of course cutest new kid on the block I had to send Lisa and her husband, Josh, some cool and hip baby gifts.

Every baby needs a blankie, lovey, or in the case of my girls, a "taggie".  Babies love tags.  So I made a tag blanket for Oliver.  I used organic cotton flannel from the Cloud 9 Forest Friends line. This is G'nite Owl and Crumbs in Earth. The back is chenille.

When I purchased the flannel I also bought a bundle of fat quarters in Monaco from the MonaLuna line by Jennifer Moore.  So I made some drool bibs and a couple of burp cloths.  I also had some brown zebra fabric left over from my stool makeover and I thought it would make a fun, modern drool bib.  I mean if you're gonna be drooling why not look cool while doing it? ;)

How cool are those vespas?

And I wouldn't be a true craft blogger if I didn't send Ollie a freezer paper stenciled onsie!

Lisa received the gifts yesterday (just in time!) and loved them.  And I just got another update and Oliver has arrived!!  Mom and baby are doing awesome!  Welcome Oliver!  XOXO
