I don't like people.

Well, it's more that I don't like attention.
One of my worst nightmares?  
A huge surprise party in my honor.  
Where I have to open presents in front of everyone.  
As they stare at me.

So what did my friends go and do?

Buy me the 

CUTEST CARSEAT COVER IN THE WORLD.

That just happens to scream: 

"Hey strangers! Cute baby inside.  Come look!  Then stay a while and chat with 
the mom.  Yes, the raggedy looking one who hasn't used her flat iron in two weeks."

So what did I do?
Make a cute tent to match.  
But mostly to hide what is inside. 
Hoping that it will deflect some of the attention.
So I can shop undisturbed at Target in my frizzy haired glory.


I found the tutorial here.
I tweaked it a bit to add a little peek-a-boo vent.
Partly to be able to see what Janey is up to, and partly because of my own personal fears of suffocation.  A blanket near my face sends me into a panic.

Seriously, how many issues do I have?

  1. Ummm, Julie? Hate to burst your bubble but I don't think your adorable tent is going to deflect any attention. If I saw a raggedy mom with a cute get-up like yours I'd definitely have to have a peek at the sweetie inside!!

  5. Julie- I totally feel the same way. I did not want people touching my little ones when they were so tiny! I know it's hard to hold back people, but please try! I control myself (even though babies are the sweetest thing on earth) so you can, too, is what I want to say.

    That is the cutest car seat cover and your made the sweetest little tent to go with it! Is there nothing you can't do?? Lori

  9. First of all, that is so adorable. Secondly, at least you have a good excuse to go to target looking raggedy. I went after working out last week and couldn't make eye contact with anyone because I looked so terrible. Ugh...why can't a girl just shop in target without worrying about her non-flattened hair?

  10. I love it all!!! I have so many friends pregnant right now. How handy is the vented tent! Janey is adorable. I am so like you. Gina had Curly Red Hair and every person we saw in public had to comment, and sometimes even TOUCH! I just wnted to run into Target and get wipes for crying out loud.

  13. Yeah, I agree with some of the others , I'd totally try to get a peek inside and end up chatting you up about where you got the carseat cover. But I hope the cute little tent does what you want it to do.
