Embellishing a Onesie

I embellished this long sleeve onesie for my great granddaughter to be (January).  Her baby shower is tomorrow and I cannot wait.  I finished the hooded sweater I knitted and have some purchased outfits, too.  My granddaughter requested that in place of cards for each person to bring a baby book and put their own personal message inside.  I loved that idea and found a first picture book/reader today.

The neck embellishment is a ruffle I made from soft flannel and the removable skirt is made of eyelet.  I strung a ribbon through the waist so that it is removable and can be used with other onesies.  I was so pleased the way it came out!  

Adding a picture of my little Rose Bush that is still blooming for pink Saturday with Beverly at How Sweet The Sound.  To see more pinks just click on the link.  And if you would like to join in the Pink Saturday fun, you can link at the very bottom of today's How Sweet the Sound post :)

 This rose is still blooming and is so beautiful.

Thanks for visiting and come again soon!

      Don't forget to set your clocks back one hour when you go to bed Saturday eve or when you get up Sunday morning.

Something from Nothing...Little Pink Book

Happy Pink Saturday to you!  What is Pink Saturday??  It is hosted by Beverly at How Sweet The Sound and is celebrating 3 yrs. last month.  If you love Pink and you blog, all you have to do is post something you like on Saturdays and if you are not a blogger but just love to visit them, this is the place for you!  My pink Saturday offering today is this Little Pink Book I just made!

And this is how I made something from nothing....

I used Martha Stewart paint samples from the local Home Depot Store.

I glued 2 of them back to back for the cover and did the same for the back.  You know those cute little metal frames that you buy in the dollar store with vintage pictures of people you do not know but love?  I took the picture out of the frame and pasted it to the front of my little Pink Book.

Next I punched holes in my covers and found faded pink ribbon among my stash to lace the covers together with pages I made from Index cards....

I punched holes in the index cards.  Next I laced them together with the ribbon.

This is what the inside of the book looks like.

This is the back of my little book.  I loved these paint samples as they looked like leather.

Then I added a little embellishment with some flat half pearls that come on a tiny sheet and are already tacky. I also had these in my card making supplies but they are very inexpensive in the craft stores and Walmart.

And here is my finished Little Pink Book with 12 pages that I can write sentiments in or phone numbers or whatever!  I added the Christian saying from a teabag tag that I had. (my daughter gave me a whole box of green tea with
Bible sayings on them for Mother's Day)

I love it!

And the little frame??  I put Mama in it!

Thanks for coming and do come again.  I hope you enjoyed my Pink Saturday How-To.
