New crafts

I've been trying to step up my crafting game lately. It's a lot harder to get stuff done with a baby, especially when you're trying to be creative.

I finished this reversible little wrap dress for my nice. I love how it turned out. It isn't perfect, but it is pretty good.





Our neighbors got a new puppy and I couldn't resist whipping up this little sweater for her. As you can tell, she kinda likes it.



The baby may or may not be teething- either way he is drooling like a damn zombie and so I whipped up a few extra drool bibs.

 

I also managed to knock out a new pair of baby pants for him that I totally copied from a pair of pants that he has from the Harajuku Mini line. I traced the pants and sewed my own. I can't believe how good they turned out!

I am tired

Lucas started rice cereal. He ate it, but I'm pretty sure he was disappointed he didn't get pureed bacon.



He had his 4 month checkup and he weighs 16 pounds, 1 ounce and is 26 inches long. That's 95th percentile in height and weight for those of you who follow those sorts of things.



I am digging the pixie hat I made him from this book



fin.

More baby stuff

I know that right now Lucas gets more excited about his hand than any toy sitting under the christmas tree, but that didn't stop me from getting him a few gifts this year.

I really like this teether rattle called a Skywinkle. I think Lucas will be intrigued by it too.

They are a bit advanced for him right now, but these wood stacking blocks shaped like ocean waves are awesome. They are made in Germany by Grimm's Spiel and Holz designs with non-toxic paint. I think my little beach baby will love them.

This little frog rattle from Habra is also made with non-toxic paints. 

And of course I had to get him a few cute t-shirts. Threadless was having a sale.

ok, where did the year go?

I feel like it was just Christmas and was telling my family that I was pregnant. Now I have a 4 month old and it's the holidays again. At least this time I can eat drink and be merry.



This app is the best .99 I have ever spent. behold:





I'm going to remake every photo I've ever taken.

We took a walk on the beach. Lucas had a good time until he fell asleep.





He's totally into his jumper right now. It cracks me up watching him dangle from this thing. His movements are a little frantic and he looks like a puppet on a string.



I can finally post a picture of the little wrap dress I made for Stephanie's little Ginny. I can't wait to see it on her! I am making another one for my niece right now.

stuff I have been making

I made a lot of stuff before the baby was born, with my awesome new sewing machine.



these are the best burp rags. the chenille really holds a lot of liquids.



these pee pee tee pees get a lot of use too.



I am pretty proud of this stroller bag and matching changing pad.
