Once we used them empty for a game. The one diaper with a little drop of mustard inside won a prize. Mustard does look like baby poop...and we all got a good laugh!<br /><br />Linda @ Truthful TidbitsLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17751356958497450109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-79703540706174072612011-02-08T09:23:21.854-06:002011-02-08T09:23:21.854-06:00Hi Dear Rebecca,
Love these wonderful little favor...Hi Dear Rebecca,<br />Love these wonderful little favors inspired by the talents of your sweet mother. I can see where you get all your amnazing talent.<br />The shower you are about to host is going to be perfect with your touch.<br /><br />Hope you are doing well and survived our brutal weather. Sadly we are predicted for a wintry mix to begin Tuesday night into Wed. Hope they are worng, but it's a 70%chance so many NOT!!<br /><br />Thank you for stopping by and your kind comment. Yes, the kitchen process is coming along. You are right, it can be pricey, but so thankful that my dear guy has the talents to do most of the work it takes himself. It's all great fun though and we so enjoy it!<br /><br />Have a creative week.<br />Love to you, Celestina MarieCelestina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021633519525822335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-7112475114930359212011-02-08T08:24:07.246-06:002011-02-08T08:24:07.246-06:00These are incredible Rebecca!!

I'm going to keep this idea in my "file" for future use... just wish you were here to help me then LOL! <br />Isn't it amazing what our mother's could do for pennies? I remember my Mom's card parties and how elegant things seemed. The ladies wore lovely dresses with skirts that rustled and high heels & seamed stockings. What great memories of elegance in the 50's! <br /><br />Thanks for sharing such a great idea Rebecca! <br />Big hugs, sherry<br /><br />PS Aren't we blessed to have such great husbands in this big world??Edie Marie's Attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16497518764917499463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-13168335941278619862011-02-08T07:46:44.933-06:002011-02-08T07:46:44.933-06:00Rebecca.....

(Will try again later)<br />The idea for the little diapers was not originally my idea. I first saw them made up light weight flannel. I love the lace doily concept and using the little bags is really creative. Thanks for sharing. I wish they still did baby/bridal showers like they once did -- now, everything is a come and go event. Love your Ore Cookies too.<br /><br /><br />Love you forever~MomRebecca Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662129266792835433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-62948113336021187952011-02-07T21:29:51.839-06:002011-02-07T21:29:51.839-06:00Hi Rebecca :) Thanks for stopping by ~ I've b...Hi Rebecca :) Thanks for stopping by ~ I've been doin' good, but am so wanting winter to just go AWAY! Spring just can't get here fast enough for me :) These are the sweetest thing, and I will be having a baby shower for my daughter later this summer (She's due beginning of Sept.) Right now she's dealing with lots of fatique and some morning sickness, but hopefully this will pass once she gets into her 2nd trimester. It still hasn't quite sunk in yet that I'm going to be a Grandma! I think it will once she really starts to show :) Goodness!!<br /><br />Take care sweet friend!!<br /><br />Warmest hugs, BrendaBrenda ~ The Heminger Farmhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17322881536465174193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-82172475516797586552011-02-07T21:25:36.020-06:002011-02-07T21:25:36.020-06:00Yes Rebecca your mama was way ahead of her time.

No lace thought which is a great idea. But my mom made the diapers out of flannel then dipped them. So I did the same. I am about to open an antique store called Minnie jane's. Just thought I would add that...scarey and exciting taking on this venture.You make such beautiful things. take care sallychicroseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12855063994089179369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-25452190248592773372011-02-07T19:04:04.401-06:002011-02-07T19:04:04.401-06:00What a cute idea.
