Retro Recycle - Apron

Made an apron by tracing an apron I liked onto some fabric that had been gifted to me (used to be curtains, yay for free fabric!).  I did buy some green bias tape, pink material for the ties and some light polka dot green for a ruffle near the top.  I wanted to try making a ruffle and this apron needed a little something. 

My friend who had the idea for the material was the recipient of the apron.

From this

To this!

There's enough material left over to use for quite a few projects, perhaps a few more aprons?

Rash Attack

Has your baby ever had diaper rash so bad that they scream when the wipes touch them? 
Here's my solution:
Homemade wipes and a water/baby wash mild cleanser.  I took a receiving blanket I didn't mind losing and cut it up into small squares and then zigzagged the edges to keep them from ravelling.  For the cleanser I used my haircut spritzer and filled it with water and a couple drops of a mild baby wash and shook it up.  I have this stuff on hand as soon as I think a rash may be coming on.  It works wonders!

(ps. have a plasic bag handy to put the wipes in until laundry day)
