New Sibling Gifts {or another excuse to make things}

This weekend, we took dinner to a family who recently added a third kiddo to their bunch. Remember this shower? Well Porter is now here and has already worn the animal shorts. They are stinking cute on!

I couldn't just show up with dinner. I had to bring presents. I wanted Porter's big sister and big brother to have a little something special. 


These cute little hair accessories aren't my handy work. I won them during giveaway day at Sew Mamma Sew. Hannah was so stoked to get them. She's a real girly girl and loves having her hair done. 


I used a Silhouette graphic to create the freezer paper stencil for this cute little guy. It's the second time I've used it for a little man's shirt. I just can't resist it. I used the fabric ink that came with my Silhouette and a toddler top from Joann's.


I wrapped the kiddo's presents up in some brightly colored tissue that I secured using baker's twine. I made it nice and easy for the six and two year olds to open without grown up help.


I made Porter an Easy Peasy Recieving Blanket using this fun flannel from Joann's. Why no pictures of the finished project? Because I totally spazed and forgot to start the blanket until 20 minutes before we had to leave to deliver dinner. I was cutting all the slits in it on our drive.  


Come party with me!

  1. What a great idea. My children sure loved it when someone made a big deal about them (instead of the new baby) once in a while!

    I'm hosting my first linky party "One Creative Weekend" at OneCreativeMommy.com. I'd love for you to visit and link up this idea or anything else you'd like to share.

  3. Saw you at Serenity Now. The little hair clips are cute. I like the idea of giving the big siblings a gift. I've been thinking of what to do for 2 of my friends who are having babies soon and both have older children. :)

  4. Such a cute idea to give the older siblings a gift when new baby comes. Makes it special for everyone. It's something form me to think about when number 2 comes at the end of the year. I'd love it if you shared this over at my link party. http://acraftycook.blogspot.com/2012/07/1-month-of-fun-july-link-party.html
