I’m super excited, my adorable niece is about to have her first baby. So that means my brother will be a grandpa, (what?!) and that will make me a Great Aunt (cool – I’ve always considered myself a pretty great aunt!). So for her baby shower, we got our sewing machines and fabric out and had so much fun with a few sewing projects for baby. There’s nothing like handmade baby gifts to make us all swoon! I can’t wait to try a few of these other great ideas!
