Baby Shower Gifts

You know those times when you think...if I knew then what I know now...or I wish I had one of those when...

That's what this baby shower was for me. I ended up making a few of the things that I wish I had when Clark and Kent were little (I guess I still have time with Kent!).

I used various tutorials from around blogland. Burp cloths from My Longest Year, Diaper clutch and cloth teething rings from Make It and Love It, and shoes from Stardust Shoes. These are all FREE patterns and tutorials and I am so grateful for people sharing their talent and time!!

A close up of the little teeny shoes! I just love these...except I want to pick that little thread off of them. Is it driving you crazy too?

If I was really smart I would have made a set for me along with the gift, but it turns out I'm only a little bit smart! I made Kent a set of the rings and they just might be his favorite toy! There are so many places for him to grab hold of them, and I love that I can just toss it in the wash without any worries.

What are you favorite baby shower gifts to give (or get!)?
