We see lots of Slowpoke Sloths hanging out in people’s yards in photos, but this baby clothes keepsake by Niesje Wiersma Maccini found a convenient spot in the kitchen! I hope he enjoys the warm climate.

And who can resist a baby clothes keepsake paired with the baby herself, especially when both are this cute?! Kelly Anderson used Calico Bear to sew a memory bear to commemorate her daughter’s clothes, and I love how bear and baby are about the same size.

EllenThayer is a seamstress extraordinaire (and a super grandma) for whipping up toys that match the clothes she makes for her granddaughters. Here’s a SparklesSeahorse dress set and LuckyLabrador skirt combo.
