Footprint Towels

Mother's day is not quite a month away and I thought it would be fun to show you a project a made a while ago as a gift for one of my son's grandmothers. I think projects like this are perfect for grandparents of little ones and what better occasion than Mother's Day to make it?

I did not write a tutorial for it because it is so simple, it really isn't necessary. Also, wrangling a toddler to make footprints and taking pictures at the same time? Ha!

I used Flour Sack Dish Towels and Tulip Soft Fabric Paint.  I made the foot prints first and then painted in the details in black.  Here are some closer pictures of each one:

I'm so crafty, I make people!

I'd like to introduce you to:

Kaypha Joseph

He made his debut 3 weeks and 1 day early on Mother's Day, May 9th. Our "preemie" baby weighed in at a hefty 10 pounds, 5 ounces and measured 22.5 inches long.

Not only did Kaypha come on Mother's Day, but he shares his birthday (one year later) with my cousin's (and one of my best friends) baby girl. What does that make them to each other as the children of first cousins? Second cousins? Anybody know?
