Teeth & Unfinished Projects

On Tuesday we discovered Logan's first tooth! It's the bottom left front one. He had spent all weekend being super cranky and ornery. Now I understand why. We're so glad it finally came in, and hope the next one follows soon.

I've been trying to finish up projects that have been hanging around the house lately. Some of them have been hanging around since well before Logan was born. Like this bunting/sleeper that I made thinking it would be good for a boy or a girl, only to have Dave tell me it was too girly for a boy. So it's sat unfinished until now.

Or this afghan I started before I knew Logan was a boy, and didn't get around to finishing (don't worry I was working on boy and girl blankets, just in case). Doesn't Logan make a great baby blanket model?

These pictures we finally got around to hanging in the bathroom are from October a year and a half ago. The pictures we took on our North Carolina trip, and the shells we bought on Ocracoke Island (also in NC).  The frames I collected at DI for a buck a piece, and I matted and put everything together, finishing only last week! There are 4 pictures of lighthouses and 4 shell pictures.

Finally, I finished two blankets for my sister-in-law April who is pregnant with twin girls. They're both bigger flannel receiving blankets, with a little image appliqued in the corner. She's not due until August, but I figured I'd get a head start. My sister-in-law Alison is also due to have a girl in July, so I have a few baby gifts to whip out soon.

My sister Heather gave me some material she found at her husband's grandma's house to  make a purse. It was all cut out, I just had to put it together and add some ribbon on the front to make it more me. It was super easy, and I like the results:

Also, I was given an Old Navy fleece jacket, and the arms were sadly way too small! This happens a lot; I have super long arms. So I cut it down, and re-sewed it to fit Logan. I can't say he loves it (taking pictures of him in it caused major tears), but he looks super cute. And it only took me an hour to downsize.

I made it 18 months size (even though he's 9 - 12 month size), because it's almost summer. I want him to get some use out of this. It fits him pretty good now, just a little baggy and the arms are long. So you won't be distracted by the crying baby, here's another shot:
