sweat shop shower for chickadee

once chickadee hatches, i want a sweat shop shower!

here's my list of ideas so far:

• felt and fleece booties

• quiet book made out of felt and felt cutouts and buttons and ribbons
*martha stewart gets credit for this idea, but i'm perfecting it in my mind as you read this. i'm thinking i'll tether all the "pieces" to the book so they don't get lost. each page will be a different scene: beach, garden, home, zen center (complete with leeeetle meditation cushions and bells and a gong!). tee hee.

• stuffed lamb
*i found this pattern but there's no picture of the finished product, so i'm not sure if i really want to use this one or not.
note: scroll down to -> Soft Toys, then -> Lamb

• or this little lambkin!

• little doll stuffed with rice (to give it weight) and lavendar (to make it soothing)
*i see velour or velvet with yarn hair and embroidered face. similar to these

• funky little animals made from my scraps, like these

Goddess knows I don't need to make any more blankets. And clothes are hard because we won't know our chicks' gender until it arrives!

Nope, not pregnant yet, btw. but we are in the tww, and if you've ever ttc, you know what that means.
