One of my favorite baby things is the moses basket. It has come in handy with every child and its simplicity is stunning. Our basket had pink toile fabric and I really wanted to change it and I finally got around to it. It was the easiest thing to sew as I just sewed up a pillowcase shape for the cushion and it did the job. Now the basket has some pretty blue stripes and by the looks of it, Glow seems to approve of the little change.
Yesterday, was a day when some things got done. I got to sew for five minutes, we worked on reading and writing, there was lots of laying in bed, cuddling, and watching some movies, but maybe there was not so much math. Maybe today we will bake some cookies and the measuring will make up for it. It helped that Ben worked half day so he could take the two middles to the doctor for their physicals in the morning (it was him tweeting this picture). We also had lots of rain and I hope there are many more rainy days to come. A rainy day spent in bed watching movies is definitely a good day.
Glow looks so cozy all swaddled up!! Absolutely love the look of the moses basket. Wish I had your sewing skills. http://lillovestories.blogspot.com/
So precious! 🙂
“the two middles” hahaha. that made me laugh out loud.
Little Glow looks so cosy in her basket! Glad you fitted in some much needed rest while it was raining. Your body really needs it now.
Hi Ruby, She is really happy with her new blue pillow cover I can see!
Beautiful girl!
Such a little bundle of cutie. Good job on your sewing project. It's hard enough to get any projects done, specially with little ones around.
aww, Soulie's face in that tweet picture 🙁 so sad
Your swaddling is PERFECT…. Senna breaks out of mine in 5 minutes! lol
oh poor soulie. :{
love the sweet smile on Glow 🙂
she is always smiling in her sleep 🙂 she must have the best baby dreams!
Oh Ruby,
She is perfect! My Nana always said when a baby smiles in their sleep the angels are talking to them! Hope you are doing well, you seem to be handling this new family of 4 little people, just beautifully to me!

oh my gosh, she looks so much like little Brave in that last picture! She's such a precious little angel, juts like her sisters (:
Where did you get your Moses basket? I've been looking for one, but they all seem bulky. Yours looks light and seems to let a lot of light through the weave. Let me know!
BECKITH- i got the basket from a store called home goods about 5 years ago. sorry that probably isn't much help! babies r us had a similar one a few years ago.
Thank you! I'll keep my eye out 🙂
Ah, look at the little Glow Worm! Bang goes my heart 🙂
Hi Ruby! LOVE your blog! I feel like I have a similar style in baby clothes, etc. I am not into the pink fru-fru and graphic loud clothes for them.
I love the style your kids have, you can tell it is not just you telling them what to wear, but their own unique style!
Also I am always so in love with the blankets you swaddle Glow in, where do you get them from?!
She smiles lovely! And the basket is too.
So cute!!!
savannah- the blankets are just knit jersey fabric that i cut up to a size i like. just rawed cut edges and no sewing involved!

My mom bought a moses basket about 7 years ago for my little nephew, now I'm using it with my newest (just a few days old). They are amazing and beautiful and help mamas a lot!
She is delightfully beautiful! The look of milky contentment there.
I love those baskets! They do come in handy, and I love that they are potable : ). Your family is beautiful!
Little Glow looks so cosy in her basket! Glad you fitted in some much needed rest while it was raining. Your body really needs it now.
