In about six weeks, this darling lady
is having a sweet baby boy.
Part of my day Saturday was spent at a shower for her and the soon-to-be baby Jude.
I knew she was a crafty gal that follows my blog so I thought a handmade gift was only fitting.
She's already picked out baby Jude's bedding:

Love the rocket theme.
And for some reason, all I could think about was a baby mobile with rockets.
So a baby mobile I made!
In case you're looking into a handmade mobile, here's a super quick overview of how I did it.
the process ....
I wanted her to have a mobile that spun and played some soothing music {so fancy these days!} so I went to Babies-R-Us and grabbed an existing mobile to use "for parts."
{I cut off the tugboats and gave them to my dogs for chew toys. They were elated. 30 minutes later I was picking up stuffing all over the house. Way to go Sarah.}
I drew a rocket pattern and traced it out on black fabric.
Pinned two together and then sewed around the edges. Stuffed each rocket and stitched up the hole.
I added some blue buttons to each side of the rockets for "windows".
Also grabbed some wooden stars, painted them yellow and hung them in the middle.
Pretty adorable if I say so myself {and I do}.
I was also feeling artsy fartsy last week so baby Jude got some nursery art too.
{confession: I'm totally into the owl obsession}
Hopefully the mommy-to-be can work either of these pieces into her sweet nursery decor.
Can't wait to see the little critter sometime next month!
I LOVE this blog! Thank you so much for everything! The mobile fits the bed great and the picture is awesome!
