I have sewn a mobile, pillow, and diaper stacker for our new baby boy over the last couple of weeks. I really did not know I could sew anything more than a attach a button to a shirt. I have not sewn anything in about 20 years. I guess I remembered something from junior high home economics class and watching my Grandma sew. My projects all started because Dena found this really cute vintage cowboy material to make a baby quilt for my little guy. I fell in love with it and decided to use it as the theme for the baby bedding. I looked on line for a mobile to go with the western theme but did not find anything I liked. I looked at the mobile I had for Rachel and Kate's baby bedding and decided it did not look too complicated. I decided to try and make one. I was really shocked when it turned out like I had imagined it would! In case you can't tell from the picture, there is a horse shoe, cowboy boot, star, cactus, and a holstein heart with a cow bell for the Stansell Dairy.
Next, I decided I would work on a pillow. It turned out cuter than I imagined! I wanted the whole pattern of the material to show so I made it a little longer, but it turned out to fit the crib great.
I realized I need a diaper stacker too. I figured I had gotten a little ambitious with this project. I used the girls diaper stacker as a guide and the darn thing turn out perfect! I just hope it will really hold diapers and not fall apart.

Loved all this. Hidden talent. Kate looks cute with the new teeth.
I am so proud of you! I can't wait to get the quilt done! The little cowboy hat that I was telling you that I had gotten looks like the one that Adam had in the post "Cowboys and Cowgirls". It may even be the exact same one. :) Everything is so cute that you did for the baby!
