Vintage Crafting
I am dedicating this post to my oldest and dearest friend, Melissa. Melissa recently had a little baby boy named James. He is too freakin’ adorable. Because of the distance between us, she is in Cleveland I am in Chicago, I have not met the little dude yet. About 2 months ago I bought him a little present and started to stitch him an additional momento. I planned on sending it that week–but my ridiculous carpal tunnel started acting up so I laid off the needle for a few days (embroidery needle that is….) and that turned into weeks!!! My thoughtful and sometimes irksome husband pointed out last night “you know babies grow really fast, right? Do you think that outfit is even going to fit him by the time you finish that stitching?” And to him I must reply: touche!
Where does the time go and how have 2 months passed? I feel sick. This weekend it is getting done or else one of you has to come to my house or my cube (office friends) and literally punch me in the face. 
I decided a little extra inspiration wouldn’t hurt, so I started snooping online and found The Baby Gardner’s Baby Bloggie. The whole blog is focused around vintage baby things. Oh my goodness, I can’t believe I just found this site! Now I promise I will not start inundating you with baby posts, but I am entering my 30′s in 6 weeks and the baby phase has only just begun for my girlfriends. I now have a destination for unique/vintage gift ideas. I have added a little embroidery pattern to give you a smile and me a kick in the butt!

Oh, man…now I feel like I need another bun in the oven! This site is awesome. I’ll be spending significant amounts of time looking through this one. And, fortunately I have many friends with bambinos soon to pop out, so that should do for now.
