I have a few baby items made and two squares. I am trying to get these done in between my nieces wedding gift and all my other charity projects. I am having a great time with all the baby stuff. Hope everyone is having fun too.

I'm getting all my high concentration projects out of the way and will hit the squares hard after the 19th... Baby things need to be counted and boxed!

[wiz3283]

Here are a couple of the baby items I have made so far. I love the way this little premie dress came out. It worked up quickly so I may make another one if I can squeeze it in between a few other projects. Pic should be clickable.

Labor day is fast upon us and its time to start thinking about September's blitz (especially with the Labor day sales ). We'll be making items for Project Athena and CrisKad is the charity sponsor. I will be the binky counter this month. I've asked Christina to post a little more information on her charity and the items that she is requesting.

[judianne]

I'm finishing some 8 inch squares for August...and I'll try and help a little for Sept.
