Haha this is so cute. I laughed when I read what you wrote and then saw the picture 😛 I can't wait until the little one comes! Your safety and your family are in my prayers.
Just found your blog from the headband tutorial!! Love the idea of the Polaroids! They're my favorite kind of picture:) And the belly can't be beat!! Good luck mama!
I love this! Oh Ruby, I am praying for you and just a bit of rest for you before you are blessed with the arrival of babycakies #3! I can't wait to hear the news of her arrival.
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!
Looks like you can still see them. 😉 When are you due?

Hilarious. Congrats for being able to still see them…that is a feat in and of itself! Wishing you all the best.
You are in my prayers, Ruby! Enjoy these final days :O) They are few and far between.
what a gorgeus moon!
What are your feet doing in there?
Very cute painted toenails. However did you reach them past that belly?
Ha! I love this picture! 🙂
I check your blog every day hoping you've posted about your new baby! Good Luck!
You'd better have this baby in the next few days because I go on holidays on Sunday and won't have good internet access for ages!
All the best!
Wow, really?? Week 48? I feel like you just started this series.

Hope you aren't waiting for the baby much longer! Sending you happy thoughts!
