Super Cool Baby Stuff

Hello Readers. Today's post is all about baby. Well, It's about my baby and the things he likes to chew on. And that is everything. Toys, teething rings, the dog, me, furniture...you name it, he is chewing it or would like too. (It's gross.) I found something better for him to bite on while we are in this teething phase. It's called Chewelry.


What is that? Here is a product description direct from the source.

"Custom nursing necklaces and carrier accessories made with food grade silicone and love. Silicone beads and pendants are soft on baby's emerging teeth!"


They are a unique teething toy. They are strong enough to handle some teeth but soft enough to be comforting. They are colorful and cute too. Misty can create a design that fits you and your little one.

You can also ask to match your carrier. Did you get a new Tula? (I'm jealous, I admit it.) Misty can match the design.


Do you want a rainbow?


Or a penguin?


These are the two I have. One is a clip and one is on a string. They can attach to the carrier or the car seat. There are necklaces for mom too.

A Jacket Built For Two

Hello Readers. This project may not appeal to all of you but it is one of my all time favorites. It started with this big men's hoodie. It is way too big, but that is good.


I need a warm jacket that will fit around me and this little guy. Technically, this jacket does fit around both of us. The arms are way too big and long, and it is so big at the bottom that the wind blows right up the front. That won't keep us both warm.


 This is how I go out half the time. He is at a clingy stage and likes to be carried. You can buy jackets and sweatshirts that fit around mom and baby. Do I want to pay money to own one when I can make one for myself? NO WAY!


In the end, this is not slimming or flattering to my figure. It is difficult to look anything but huge in this. But the little guy loves his carrier and now he is warm too. I shortened the arms and made them more narrow. I also took in some extra from around the bottom 5 inches so the waistband doesn't hang open as much..


Thanks for reading, now go make something fabulous for yourself.

*** BONUS TRACK ***

I just wanted to show off a new item I received as a gift. Its called Chewelery. Chewy toys for teething babies. This one hangs off the carrier or car seat so it can't get lost.


Here is the info. Check it out.
