Gifts for Baby Boy Clinkscales

Technically my husband & I met Lewis working at the Texas A&M Challenge Course in 2004 or 2005, but we got to know him & his then girlfriend Sheridan when Tony began to work for the College Station Fire Department in March of 2006. Lewis & Tony were on C-shift at Station 2 until Lewis got moved out to Station 3. Tony & I were lucky to get to attend Lewis & Sheridan's wedding in April of 2007 and were super excited to find out that they were expecting a little boy in January 2009.

Lewis & Sheridan are decorating their little ones room in farm animals so I figured that a breastfeeding pillow with a John Deere fabric & a cozy bright blue fleece backing would be appropriate.

I had some spare fabric so I decided to try my hand at making a binkie. It turned out really nice and I hope that the little one finds it nice & cozy.

To go along with the farm animal theme, I used some red bandana ribbon to embellish a couple of burp cloths.

I also embroidered a burp cloth with the maltese cross & one of my favorite fire fighter fabrics so the little one can still feel close to his Daddy even when he's on shift.
