ponder and stitch

i absolutely LOVE these hand sewn bracelets from Ponder and Stitch. They are dainty, delicate, and downright awesome. I am not sure if she uses interfacing, but there is definitely something between the layers of beautiful fabrics that gives these bracelets shape.
The double stranded style is probably my favorite. But I'd even like to see these in single-strand. I just cannot believe how cute these are....

Burp Cloths!!

I love using funky, modern, bright fabrics for baby items, which you wouldn't maybe normally think of. I do have a soft spot in my heart for those beautiful baby prints, mostly the vintage reproduction ones though. I know on Etsy, there are several successful sellers who focus mainly on the burpies and similar items. Here are just a few. If you have never made these before, they are super easy!! You can repurpose towels for the back sides, you can also use chenille or flannel on one side, and you can of course, always embellish pre-existing cloth diapers. If the diapers have some small stains on them, you could always dye them a cute color with non-toxic dyes.
This is a great gift idea too! They can even be used by adults to clean with!! Body or Home :) Please visit Ragadoos HERE, and Laundry Monster HERE...
