Deborah's Car Seat Canopy

It is always a joy to celebrate with friends who are expecting a baby, but even more joyous when it is their first.  Everything seems so new, so fresh, a little scary, yet so exciting.

My friend Deborah is expecting her first baby- a girl- in just a few weeks.  Deborah is full of life, and you'll hardly ever see her without a smile on her face.  Back in January, I went to a women's retreat at our church.  I remember talking with Deborah and answering her candid questions about pregnancy and motherhood.  Her joyous embrace of all the pregnancy symptoms encouraged my spirit.  Her blog post announcing her pregnancy is one I can hardly read without tears welling up in my eyes, followed by a full heart of gratitude to our great God.  I encourage you to grab a tissue and click here.

I made a car seat canopy for baby girl.  The fabric is from JoAnn's.  It is lined with a deep purple solid that is soft and will help to keep out the sun, too.

I added one of my fabric labels to the strap.  Learn how to make them here. 

I also added a postcard which includes and explanation of its use and washing instructions.  I ordered these from Vistaprint.

Here's to hoping sweet baby girl sleeps soundly in her car seat, stays away from germs and rain, and enjoys the view of the pretty purple lining!
