Cute Clothing Idea for the Crafty

Last month I attended a baby shower for my husband's cousin who was about to have triplets.  Two identical girls and a boy.  At the shower we got to decorate the cutest onsies ever!  The idea came from my cousin Meg and it was so fun to do! (See here for an easy tutorial.)  These are the onsies I did.

I'm really excited about this idea because, obviously, this technique can be applied to more than just baby clothes.  I'm thinking of using this idea as an activity for my Activity Days girls.  They could decorate their own shirts, or we could use the same idea and decorate onsies to give to new babies in the ward. Either way, I think it could be really fun for the girls.


Update September 13, 2011:

I did do an activity with the girls in my ward and they really enjoyed it.  I didn't get any pictures, but it was fun to see how different and creative all the girls were when they design their own t-shirts.

Also, here are a couple more onsies from a baby shower held for my cousin at the beginning of the summer. The hedgehog one is mine and the frogs were done by my sister April of AE Design.

Bountiful Baskets

A New Years resolution I made this year was to eat more fresh produce.  While this goal seemed like it might be difficult given the price of fresh produce, I have a found a great solution. Bountiful Baskets.

This is a food co-op in which you can get a huge basket that is 50% fruit and 50% vegetables all for the amazing price of $16 per basket.  Another great thing about this is that they strive to get produce that is as close to locally grown as possible. This really appeals to me because, of course, I'd like to support local farmers as well as save money and have my fruit be much fresher that if it was shipped from another country.  Right now Bountiful Baskets operates in the following states:  Arizona, Washington, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and Texas.  If you don't live in one of these states you might be able to find a way to get it started where you live. It's a great program and since they ask for volunteers it's a great way to feel a part of your community and teach your children about service.
