Right now I am not only eating a lot but I am headed into the nesting phase of pregnancy. Yesterday I worked on tutus- which is getting really hard with this belly, decorated my house for Halloween, organized my ceder chest, cleaned the house, watched a movie with the kids, went to a cooking class at the church, finished the baby shower list, and found time to get obsessed with the baby blessing dress. As I was cleaning out the ceder chest I came across my blessing dress and Olivia's ( don't know where jacks is!?!). I started thinking about what to do for Adri's dress last week and looking at these two dresses I suddenly knew I must figure it out that moment! lol. as I continued organizing, I came across some beautiful pillowcases my grandma made and one in particular stood out to me. I matched MY baby lessing bonnett to the pillow case, I have always thought it was cute and they matched nicely. then I remebered heathers blog a few weeks ago and the dresses she made for her girls out of pillow cases. my only problem is that the fabric is yellowing. So I am going to try and whiten it, I thoguth the project was lost ( which was a trgedy of the highest degree) but then I came up with a dress design that will hide the spots the yellowing has started. by the decortive part on the pillow there is NO yellow and so I think I will still be able to use it. Now I can have a beautiful, meaningful and affordable options for our newest angel. here are the pictures of the pillow case and my design. the pink in the picture will be a sheer overlay on the cotton, so It will be light in color and weight. now I just have to figure out how to do it all! let me know what you think and if you have any ides for the yellowing problem.

You are so creative Boo! it looks great. And I must say.. almost yes, whimpy me started to cry. Grandma would have been thrilled.
That is a great idea! It's going to be beautiful.
Our pillowcases were pretty yellow too. Jeremy's mom got a TON of it out. Call me, I'll get the details from her!!
