Wee Baby Stuff

We've only had sun hat weather for a few weeks here but we've already lost a sun hat. Teddy can whip off a double-knotted-under-the-chin hat and toss it out of the stroller in the blink of an eye. While a spot of duct tape would likely solve the problem it's probably not advisable. So I'll be making a batch of hats using The Purl Bee's 4th of July Sun Hat tutorial. It has, as always,...

To turn an old t-shirt sleeve into a baby hat takes about a minute--or less--using Jill's technique. Basically you hem the widest part of a long sleeve with a zig-zag stitch so it  stretches, and then finish the top any way  you like. Personally, I think the bunny ear version is marvelous!! Jill also notes that using a short t-shirt sleeve is even easier as you don't have to hem the bottom--in this case, the...

It's fabulous and chic and the very embodiment of spring time. It's also raucously hilarious... see? Bet you laughed a little bit. This Candy Pink Peony hat by Baby Cappelli is handmade in California, and the hat part is light cotton for year 'round awesomeness. It's $22 from Flying Peas, which seems like a small price to pay to make your (and random strangers) days a little brighter. Now I was a bald baby, actually...

For me, the thought of accessorizing my babe in the main course feels a bit strange, but, then again...a wee turkey can be pretty irresistible when made from fleece or yarn.If you can get down with a pair of knitting needles, try making...

I have had my eyes on this sleeping cap for quite sometime, and when I saw it featured on BabySteals.com, I ordered one immediately. It arrived in the mail today and it is darling. The hat is made from light-weight 100% organic pima cotton and is designed to help babies fall asleep. The hat comes in one piece and features a flip-down mask that blocks out visual stimulation. The cap has an extra long top...

Not only is this week's weekly onesie eco-friendly, but it's perfectly adorable. Little pedalers are sure to feel cozy in this 100% organic cotton hand screened onesie from Little Lark. The company creates sweet baby clothes in small batches from their home base in Portland, Oregon. I love the hand drawn look of the cruiser and the classic black and white color pallette. The onesie is available from Baby Wit for $24.   And, while...

I am in love with this customizable outfit from tinysprouts.com. We don't know the gender of our little muffin yet, but the moment we find out (in September) I am going to buy a set. The owner, Tracey, uses 100% interlock cotton for all of her products, so the outfit is super soft. In addition, she hand-embroiders these adorable gems with your newborn's name or a custom saying of your choosing. You can also add...
