Rock-a-Bye Baby Bassinets

I have been busy, busy, busy  working on a multitude of different projects, but one of my recent favorites has been these adorable diaper bassinets.  The ease of disassembling them, the re-usability factor and affordability are high on my list of attributes, fast making them a 'Customer Favorite' also.

They are constructed from disposable diapers (naturally), burp cloths and bibs, although sometimes I substitute infant wash cloths instead of bibs.

Here are a few examples of the design made with store bought items.

                                                        Pink Zebra Diaper Bassinet:  
                                            I love this one for the baby girl with a wild side.  :)
                                                                 $25.00 plus shipping

                                                           Blue Spaceship Diaper Bassinet
                          For the baby boy that will makes his parents heart soar out of this world!
                                                                          $25.00 plus shipping

For the parents who haven't shared the sex of the baby (or they just like animal prints)!

I have also had the pleasure of adapting this design to utilize 'Custom made' burp cloths and bibs from a wonderful shop I found on Facebook (www.facebook.com/pages/Grammys-Treasures).  I love her products and use them as often as I can in my designs.  Check her out! 

A few Diaper Bassinets created with her products - they are becoming my favorites!

Pink Monkey 'Dressed' Diaper Cake

Okay so I couldn't resist this ensemble!  The monkey, the blankets, the onesies, and the little booties were just too CUTE!  I immediately needed to create something out of these items ( this is why I try to stay out of the infant department when I'm out shopping, for something other than business).

Here is the before items:

Items include:  35 - Pampers disposable diapers (size 1), 3 - 'Carter' onesies, 2 - 'Carter' knit receiving blankets,  1 - hat, 2 - clip barrettes, 1 - pair of booties, 1 - pair of scratch mittens and 1 - 14 inch 'Carter' musical stuffed monkey.

My After:

I guess stopping by the infant department wasn't such a bad idea after all.  I am very pleased with the results! One of my personal favorites!  I think it's sooooo cute!

Firefighter Diaper Cake

This firefighter themed diaper cake was a special order for soon to be parents, that both happen to be volunteer firefighters in St. Micheal's, MD.  I really enjoyed working with Holley, she is genuinely excited  for the first time parents to be, having recently welcomed her own first child and I think she's awaiting the entrance of 'Baby Chance' with as much anticipation as his parents are.
I hope they love it as much as Holley did.

Lately, my baby shower centerpieces are leaning toward encompassing simplicity, whimsy and economical practicality.  This diaper cake is the result of having a few too many receiving blankets with dogs on them.
I love how it turned out - reminds me of puppies playing in the laundry.
