Thanks Sarah!


I recently created a couple of hats for my friend Sarah to use when photographing newborns. She wanted something pretty, with a scalloped edge and a flower on it. I made a couple of different flowers to try them out and see which one I liked better. After much indecision I realized that I liked them all! So, instead of making 27 hats, I decided to add buttons to the backs of the flowers so that they could slip right into any of stitches in the hat. This way Sarah has many, many options with only a couple of hats! I have really been looking forward to seeing one of her darling little newborns photographed so beautifully (as Sarah always does) in something that I made with my very own hands...it warms my heart!


I am super, super...did I say SUPER.....excited to reveal the first SDP photo using a FlutterBaby creation.





I LOVE IT!!!

Isn't it the cutest thing? I can't wait to see more of Sarah's work with FlutterBaby props!!!

Caterpillar Gift Set (the very hungry kind)



Caterpillar Gift Set (the very hungry kind)

Luke and his Caterpillar! I received these photos from my friend who purchased this set for her son's 5th birthday. We all love the book A Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, which was the the inspiration for my newest Caterpillar Gift Set. He was made with the same pattern as the Rattle-Pillar Baby Rattles but with double strands of yarn and a larger hook.

Here is my own FlutterBaby(ok...FlutterKid!) posing with the set!

Time for a Shower!!




The Baby Kind!!


I had the honor to host a baby shower for one of my dearest friends this weekend. She is pregnant with her 3rd baby and first GIRL!!! This definately called for a celebration of all things pink, frilly, and girlie!!


Brooke's Shower

Sugar and Spice
and everything nice!


Dresses, ribbons & hair to curl,
We're tickled pink she's having a girl!!!

Let's shower Brooke with all things frilly and pink!
Girlie things are the cutest, don't you think?

We'll have a Sugar and Spice Raffle with prizes galore
Bring a pack of diapers and you'll be entered, for sure!

Brooke's Shower


I tried out a new game that I had never played before, I call it Bubblegum Babies! You give each guest a piece of BubbleYum gum and have them mold a baby. We put all of ours on a numbered plate and voted for the best one, the winner got a prize! It was fun watching everyone so focused and concentrating on molding the little piece of gum!


BubblegumBabies

The middle one was gone when I went in to photograph them....I can only speculate as to what happened.....


I handmade the shower gifts using 100% cotton yarn and added different soaps. I think they turned out cute, what do you think??

We had the best time and I can't wait to meet the little sweet pea.

It's been...


...far too long since my last update!! I keep meaning to get the FBG Blog up to date, but it has been a busy and trying time for our family. My sister in law suffered a massive stroke in June and we have been on a roller coaster to recovery every since. She is doing very well, and continues to improve daily. Thanks so much to all of Tammy's warriors for the thoughts and prayers .

Update coming very soon!!
