Bow Ties, Diapers, and Dresses - Oh My!

I have a little side sewing business (www.SweetRedBird.com) that has taken a side burner since Emmett joined the family.  We moved, and my sewing machine and fabrics seemed to be stacked in a closet somewhere.  I've been itching to start a new project and now have reasoning to! 
I'm helping host a baby shower this weekend with the "Mustache" theme.  We need bow ties and mustaches galore!   I'll be following this fun tutorial for easy bow ties:

I also cut out some girly pink elephant fabric to make a ruffle butt cloth diaper for a soon-to-arrive little girl we know!  But I can't seem to make things for others without making something for my kids :)   So of course, I cut some aqua blue giraffe 'd pattern fabric, some blue/brown polka dots. and some dinosaur fabrics for diapers for Emmett!  Not to leave Scarlett out, I cut fabric to make her a few simple dresses.   We'll see how long everything takes to get done, but it'll be a fun little resolution to complete!

Today's Resolution is to make some cookies!

I'll be making a bunch and bringing them to the baby shower with me on Saturday.  I'm going to try all organic, dairy-free sugar cookies sandwiching a fudge frosting (also organic and dairy free of course).   :)
