Phase II of the paint job has began. But it is not just any painting--Ami, the godmother to be, is crafting a mural. She says it is still in a work in progress stage, but Suketu and I already think it is perfect. It is beautiful, breath-taking, and more than what we thought it would be. I cant wait for all of you see pictures when it is all done!
In line with the mural theme, Suketu and I have been fascinated (very fascinated) with the phenomenon of gravity. What is Gravity? It is a mind-boggling question. So many things answered, at the same time, so many things unanswered. So much so, Suketu says that the fact that I like him, is like Gravity. It is a mind-boggling thought to him--that I actually like him. I know. He is cute.
We are also so taken by Gravity, that between Suketu and I, the baby is called "G". I sometimes feel why even bother thinking of a "real" name for this kid--I know we will end up yelling "G, you better get your ass here right now, before I start thinking very evil things" OR "G, one more curfew violation and you will be G for grounded." Kid, dont blame us. Blame Newton. And that apple which started it all. Presenting the Gravity-Newton Series.
I bought these apple no-sew iron-ons from an Etsy seller. One went on a onesie. The other two on bibs--I have been told that drool and burp bibs are in high demand in mommy circles. So in my destashing frenzy, this was the best thing I could make with the cotton yarn I had.
I made up the below bib as I went along...and used the decreasing concept at the neck from this pattern (Ravelry link). I am not into the whole stringy, tying thing at the back, so I made a band with buttons. Since I only have a theoretical understanding about babies, their bodies, and their clothes, I assume I can add more buttons if need be.
Pattern: Own concoction; special mention for neck decreases--Cotton Bib (Ravelry link)
Yarn: Lily Sugar'n Cream Solid in yellow and brown
Hook: 4mm
This bib is a highly improvised version of a pattern. As you might know, I dont fancy frills and scallops, so theey were all omitted here. Also, like in the first bib, I made a band with buttons. And ironed-on an apple.
Pattern: Crochet Baby Bib
Yarn: Lily Sugar'n Cream Solid in yellow and brown

i can't wait to see the finished wall. those bibs are cute! I like cotton bibs like that, the texture in them makes it very easy to "grab" the food off a messy face.
That mural is going to be fantastic. The bibs and onesie is very cute. Great stash busting!
Wow Rima the bibs look so cool. Love them. Can't wait to see pics of the finished wall
'G' for grounded!! he he..
cool bibs! I like the way u use buttons on your projects! makes 'em very whimsical and unique!
Your colour choice is amazing, as usual. Nice and deep ones.
The mural is so beautiful already. I love the fact that there is a reason behind everything you knit or crochet. The onesie looks so cute with the apple on it.
Everything in this post is magical, Rima. Really inspiring and lovely. Plus, you made me giggle.
Can I ask where you got the iron-on appliques? They're adorable. I love that sort of vivid graphic.
LOL :) G is sure going to have fun parents! The mural looks beautiful! Ask the godma to be to finish it soon so that we can see it :)
They look beautiful.
Just a thought, instead of lots of buttons why not put the button on the body of the bib and make lots of buttonholes to tighten or slacken as the baby gets older.
I love the bibs!! The colours are awesome, and the apple just perfect :D
(oh, and I always wonder about the sizes of heads and neck when it comes to babies too.. How to know?!)
What an amazing mural! I know it's still a WIP but it already looks so gorgeous! The bibs are super cute - just adorable. Love the apple iron-ons!
I so wish I had a friend who could paint murals on my walls... *sighs longingly*
Everything is beautiful.
little lovelies! Love the Wall!
you guys are too funny. "Gravity" might be a heavy name for a kid (even without the pun), how about Apple? It worked for Gwnyth Paltrow. :)
There are no words for the sweetness in all of this.
I love those bibs! The little iron-ons are a perfect touch.
I'd like to have that mural for my room, too! The bib is delicious!!!

Off the ladder, young lady! Looks like you're a busy bee. Great projects. Can't wait to see the whole wall.

The wall is looking very beautiful. I love those bibs, extra cute and great colors too. The onesie looks gorgeous in it matches the bib.
You and your husband are so cute! He sounds wonderful. I am very happy for both of you... G will be a very loved baby!
Oooh the mural is going to be gorgeous. I can't wait to see the pics. The Gravity set is adorable, as are your fun 'G' usage scenarios :)
The bibs are really cute :) However, the bollywood shirt in the previous post really takes the cake. It is just darling.
This is going to be one VERY chic baby.
