are you sure you and ben don't want to keep going? cuz you make pretty babies. and i'm curious to see how different each additional baby would look. 🙂 glow is a good mix of all of you! 🙂 are you sure?? maybe just one more! haha!
so cute!! Please write a post about your Hypnobirthing experience please! I am going to do it for this delivery, and would love your insight on your experience!!
the birth happened so fast and now it all feels kind of surreal just thinking about it. i will write it down, but for some reason my heart just isn't exactly quite ready to. it was such an emotional time i think.
She is soooo adorable! Do you use the swaddeling-method of Harvey Karp? It looks like this. Does it really work? I really want to know, because I'm thinking about using it for my baby.
i looked up the harvey karp method and that is indeed how i swaddle my babies. so the hospital they were born at follows that method as well. i am sure you can find a plethora of you tube videos on that method of swaddling.
I have a large growing pile of fabric scraps. I refuse to throw them away because I am sure they can be used for something. I have been seeing different types of interesting necklaces made of buttons, beads, and fabric. Then, I figured why not make one out of my scraps...
I think it made my white shirt a little less boring. This was so quick and easy to make.
Â
How to make a recycled scraps necklace (which is very similar to the straps on my braided tablecloth bag):
1. Take your scrap fabric, I cut a .5''-1'' snip and tear the rest of the fabric down for a nice frayed edge. Used 3 different fabrics for each strand.
2. Take 3 of the torn pieces and tie the ends together with a rubber band.Â
3. Braid the 3 pieces together and tie ends together with rubber band when done.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 for more strands. Remember you can make the strands any length you want, if run out of fabric, just weave more into the braid.
5. Once all the strands you want are braided, gather one end of each strand together and straight stitch together with sewing machine. Repeat for the other ends of the strands. Snip off any excess.
6. Gather ends of the necklace and sew together (snip excess) or a ribbon can be sewn at the ends to be able to tie the necklace closed, but I just sewed both ends together.Â
7. Voila! A nice way to make use of all your lovely scraps.
Sorry if the directions get you a little lost, but it really is easy. I promise. Maybe I should put some in the shop. Please share any other good ideas you may have of things that can be made with scraps. I would love to hear (read) them!

josi- i use the swaddling method they taught us at the hospital! maybe i should do a tutorial?
i looked up the harvey karp method and that is indeed how i swaddle my babies. so the hospital they were born at follows that method as well. i am sure you can find a plethora of you tube videos on that method of swaddling.
Thanks, Ruby! And does it really work? Do you have the feeling that your kids were more calm and relaxed while using this method?
