.... which is also why, other than Zach..... Mountain Dew & Maxwell House are my best friends.
Anyway. one of my grand ideas a couple of weeks ago was to rejuvenate our bib drawer. our bibs are (were) really old, ratty, and stained. After 2 years of Carter spitting & spewing on them... and then Clover starting to use them too.... they've had their fair share of use and it showed. I was tired of being a little grossed out by old ugly bibs everytime I opened that drawer and who wants to spend money on bibs of all things?
not this mama.
So. I thought I would make some in all of my free time. Because you know I am running on an abundance of free time lately (this is sarcasm incase you hadn't already assumed).
It only took me a few days of finding minutes here & there.... and I think Zach grew a little tired of moving the sewing machine from our kitchen table everytime we sat down to eat.... but I did make some new bibs.



This was my first attempt at "pebble quilting"... or at least I think this is what it's called. Nevermind the name though... it's not perfect but it worked out somehow. My machine & I worked it out. Well.... mostly the machine. I just twirled the fabric around in circles.
I love how wrinkly crinkly they get after a wash & dry.... makes them look like they're soft & well-loved.
They are ready for their sweet potatoes. Hopefully they'll last through Clover's teething. She slobbers more than any baby I've ever seen.
