Meet "Big Baby"

Sister Baby.  Paci Baby.  Soft Baby.  Big Baby.  These are the names of a few of Callie's favorite baby dolls.  She named them herself.  Obviously.


Big Baby is Callie's #1 doll.  It was a hand-me-down from Callie's step great-grandmother (Brian's PopPop remarried in his 70's!).  Her hair is a bit unruly, ahem, to say the least.  

I knew that Callie would LOVE to have a matching outfit to wear with Big Baby.  And my mom had just given me some of Nana's old clothes, thinking that I could use the fabric for something.  It was more than enough to create these adorable matching outfits!  I'm thrilled with how they turned out!

I've never made doll clothes before, so this was a bit of a trial and error, and not exactly perfect.  But, definitely cute enough!

Take a peek...

Making old things new!

I just love making old things into something new!  Don't you?!

Here are some empty aluminum cans that I just couldn't bear to throw away.  They were just screaming, "do something with me!"

So I did.

I think they turned out cute, if I do say so myself!

And here they are in use on my bathroom shelf.  Perfect!
