Baby Stuff

I had fun this weekend making a gift for a baby shower. I used this pattern and changed it up a bit for the rosebud booties. I made mine from flannel instead of felt and I lined them. I used my own pattern to make the matching bib. The white felt booties are an adaptation of this pattern. Here you will find the directions. I did some adjusting to the size, changed the back of the shoe and made mine from felt instead of flannel, and did button hole stitching around the edges to finish. I had forgotten how fun it is to make things for babies.

I love these. It's funny because I had just found this same link to making the shoes just last week. They turned out adorable. I need to make some now.

How do you get that soft effect on the outer edges of your photos? Do you use Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 at all?

Thanks Christine. I use Picassa to edit most of my pics. We have Gimp as well but I haven't gotten into using it yet.
