One of the things I love to do is to sew/craft. I'm one of those people where if I see something in the store my mind automatically goes, "I can make that". And 9 times out of 10 I usually end up making it. Now in rare cases do I see something at such a good price I just have to buy it. Or sometimes, I don't have the fabrics/materials on hand to make the item that I love, so I end up buying it.
Anywho, one of the things that I have fallen in love with this summer is fabric rosettes. I LOVE them. I'm not even a big flower person to be honest. A few months into the pregnancy, I got bored and made a dress using an old shirt (that didn't fit over my belly anymore) and some fabric. The belt I made for it, had some rosettes on it, and since then I have been hooked on making fabric flowers!
Now, don't ask me where this dress is because honestly I have no idea. I made it when I was bored and I was only 25 weeks. It since then disappeared into the abyss known as our walk in closet.
There are a bunch of tutorials out there, but here are some for you to check out. I used the tutorial from the first one listed.

Since I am typically a night owl, and can't really get comfortable enough to sleep in a hospital, I know that once I do go into labor I am going to need something to do to keep my mind off of the crazy womb pain and then to calm me while the baby sleeps and I still can't get sleep.
