Pee Wee or Not…

So let me preface with saying that although I have four brothers, three older and one younger and five nephews…I know nothing about boys!  I do not remember changing any diapers for my younger brother, nor any for my nephews (which I am sure I did).  

Well NPD and I have been hearing “stories” about when you change a baby boy’s diaper he may “tinkle” in your face.  Well NPD and I are not amused.  I do remember “back in the day” (yes I am not a modern mother, but I am a modern Gigi) women talking about “covering” a baby boy when changing his diaper to prevent this from happening,  but to be honest I had really not thought much about it….until I was in ETSYVILLE

while there I found the cutest thing EVER.....

I ordered...

It arrived...

YES, YES, and YES!!!!!!

The inventor of this item is a genius!  These are made with really soft cotton, washable and are really cute!  The set I ordered look like this….

But they have all types of designs to  choose from:

Enclosed was the cute little note:

I only ordered one set, just to check them out, but next week I will be ordering more.  We will have enough “Pee Wee Tinkle Tents” that Hudson will not have a chance to “tinkle” in any of our faces (well at least enough for us girls) HA!

Crafty...NOT!

So, PD has requested a "baby wreath" to place on the front door when baby Hudson arrives.  So I immediately search the wonderful world of http://www.etsy.com and found the cutest wreath ever and of course it is no longer available (emailed and begged).  So I think to myself...Gigi... you can create this wreath (HA!).  So my journey begins.  Off to Hobby Lobby http://www.hobbylobby.com in Gastonia, N. C. to buy supplies: wire wreath, various assortment of ribbon and some good sharp scissors!

As I gather the items, with a little help from my friend (who happens to be male) I explain the concept to him and he offers to help me select the ribbon.  I have to give him credit...how many men would do this?  So guess what his first selection of ribbon was....camouflage. 

After telling my friend the color palette this is the ribbon he selected:

One thing you should know about my friend is that he is color blind... so...color palette… YES… still a little on the camouflage side but I think he did an outstanding job!

So I  purchase all of the "chosen" (lots of thought was involved)  ribbon. I return home to start my new "craft project".  

So here is his "chosen" ribbon entwined with all the other "chosen" ribbon...

I not quite sure how this is going to look but this is where I am at today...

...at this speed it will take me from now until May to get this thing completed.  As you see I have no idea what I am doing..I am adding ribbon here..and there...and here...and there.  I should have just cut the ribbon, attached the ribbon around each circle and been done....not me...gotta do it the hard way.

This is one of my projects that I have or will be working on for my "little man" and this Gigi is so, so EXCITED!!!
