Martha Stewart got the best of me tonight...
Back in January, my sister-in-law and I got tickets to go see Martha in New York City. Trying to get myself excited (like I needed any help), I fervently watched any and all episodes of Martha I could. One of the episodes had these stay-at-home-Mom's as guests who had their own business. The business was called "Sweet Potato Prints" and they made baby and children clothes using potato cut-outs and fabric paint to make the CUTEST little prints.
I quickly went online to see if I could order some of their items for the plethora of nieces and nephews I have only to find out how much they were charging... $20 for a stinkin' onsie!!!! I'm no mother or anything, but I'm pretty sure plain white onsies are some of the cheapest baby items you can buy (hey, isn't there a band called Plain White Onsies? Tees? Oh, ok... The Plain White Tees)! Anyway, in an effort to create my own crafty concoctions for less, I decided to do it myself.
$20 TOTAL in supplies later (yes, that includes the 10 Plain White Onsies), I have, well only 6 (I got tired and Bobby started yelling at me to come to bed) some very cute baby products to show for it. Now if only I could get my hands on some babies... Just kidding.
But seriously. They are totally fun to make!
...and you better not call my "Fish" design a Pac-man.

NICE! You can totally make me some!! I actually really like the pink flower one and the peas in a pod. How did you do that with a potato??? If you figure out how to do a monogramed onies I will totally order a bunch from you... well, in 18 months when I get pregnant that is! :o)
