Okay, so whilst browsing around in blogworld I came across a few tutorials that I want to try and make. Hopefully I can get somewhere and pick up some material. I'm going to see if I can arrange for my MIL or SIL to help watch Josh while I get some sewing lessons from my G-MIL. I would love to say one night a week get a babysitter, but I have a feeling Great Grandma probably wants to see my little urchin - so maybe come along and visit/baby watcher help would be more appropriate.
Anyway, things I want to try: (sorry no pictures, but I will definitely post them after making them)
1)Baby seat cover: totally want one for my new bundle, and possibly my baby present gifts to the other 6 mommas-to-be i know of

2)Baby Shoes:

out of soft leather: I loved Robeez for Josh - but the price - ouch!

3)Baby Bath Apron: would be great for the new little baby, as I'm sure he/she will be getting plenty of kitchen sink baths :)

4)Lined Canvas Bins (from Diaper Boxes!): I have really wanted canvas lined storage, but balk at the price everytime, then I came across these. You have to check them out - adorable, and made from empty diaper boxes - which I have a ton of!

5)Lots of nursery ideas: toying with the idea of making my own bedding for the new baby
