Since I only have girls to shop for, well actually I have two nephews, but mostly girls, I pretty much just tune out the boy side of the store. The fact that the Gymboree and Baby Gap boy sides are all dark colors and muted patterns, and only make up about 1/3 of each store, pretty much never bothered me. So when I started making baby gifts for other people to buy, it took me a long time to remember to look for boy fabric and boy colors and make boy designs. Gingham is not considered all that masculine, I learned.
I have been working on a big order of bibs, and since the store "will take anything [I] come up with sweetie", I have just been working out of my pre-cut-bib-front basket. For days I have been putting these bibs together, until I began to look at the growing piles and realized - hardly any girl bibs.
The green one and the aqua one at the bottom, maybe the ducks. Man. It's gonna be a long weekend.
Wow! What great boy bibs! So nice to see some boy's stuff from you to inspire me (with my two boys and all) :)
