I can't imagine what I touch more, every day than diapers now. Clean, dirty, cloth, disposible. They are so amazing and tiny! Liam just graduated in sizes last week. My little guy is over 11 pounds now and I found myself a little watery-eyed when going through his drawers this week putting his newborn clothes in a pile to make way for the new big boy clothes. Such a little man now!

On the note of diapers, here is another amazing handmade gift that we got when he was born. My dear friend Sue Scott made this diaper bag for Liam. I love the sturdy straps and the velcro opening in the top makes it super quick to get into. It came complete with a pillow and blanket, perfect for those little overnights at grandma and grandpa's house!

The past few weeks have changed my life. Even now I'm sitting here typing with one hand, the other arm holding Liam. Motherhood is everything and nothing like I imagined! It's an amazing rollar coaster for sure.

In the past few weeks since Liam was born we've gotten cards and flowers and gifts galore! They are all so thoughtful and so appreciated. In the next few posts I thought I would share some of the handmade ones with all of you. So here is the first!

This is the beautiful quilt my Nana made for Liam. So beautiful and simple at the same time. She tucked little accents of teal flat piping between the main pieced section and the border and then between the border and the binding.

Each little block has not only beautiful quilting but these adorable little owls embroidered in the center of the squares! I love it and it will be a treasure for Liam for years to come.

I took the pledge to buy all my holiday gifts either handmade or make them myself...now I gotta stick to it! Check it out and take the pledge. I'll stick up some cool ideas when I find them!
