Any recommendations on how to sew a straighter line in the curve of the shoe? That was my worst newbie mistake!

DIY Baby Shoes
Yesterday I went Olde Salem Days and while there bought some super cute shoes from Crazy Leggies and they inspired me to make some for Adeline. I used the Modern Baby Bootie Tutorial from Tao of Craft. These are my first attempt and I am a beginner sewer so they are not perfect! But they are wearable and hopefully I learned a lesson or two so I can make more for Adeline!

Hairbows! DIY
Adeline doesn't have enough hairbows, I can never find one to match certain outfits. So I decided to make some of my own. Michaels had their Fall Stems on sale last week for $0.99/each - which is a great deal! Here is how I made the flower hairbows:
1 - Pull the flower heads off the stems - they came off very easily for me and I just cut off any excess stem with scissors so the back of the flower would be as smooth as possible.
2 - Cut out felt circles dependent on the size of your flowers. You can buy pre-cut circles, but I had felt already and didn't want to spend extra $$!
3 - Using your glue gun connect the hair clip to the felt. I put a line of glue then clamped the clip down, then added more glue on top to attach flower to.
4 - Once the flower head is attached it will look like this:
5 - Add hot glue and finish attaching felt to flower:
6 - And you are done! I made all 6 in about 30 minutes.
If anyone would like for me to make some for them let me know.

Ribbon Blankets/Lovies
I started making these cute little blankets last year. I made my first one for my friends little boy, Logan, and then one for Adeline (not pictured). They are super easy to make and I get tons of compliments and people asking where I got Adeline's at! I like the 10x10 or 12x12 size and only a few ribbons or a lot! Just whatever I think looks good.
Here is the one I made for Logan in November 2011.
Here are my recent projects:
