Well, I titled this finished projects, yet I have technically only finished one project. The other one is SO CLOSE to being done. I had to get new sewing machine needles last night as I broke two in the process of making my first cloth diaper. I guess I needed the heavy duty needles -- so that's what I bought!
I forgot how completely exhilarating sewing can be. I made my first cloth diaper in less than an hour and that included cutting time. I also made Emily a tag blanket (pictures to come if I can pry it out of her hands!) It is so nice to be able to make something of my own instead of relying on buying it. Plus, I can tailor items to fit our needs. I can't wait to really get sewing! I have patterns to try galore!
As for the family, Dekker is going through is "terrible two's" although he really isn't that bad. He just likes to throw tantrums every once in a while, but luckily he saves these for when he is home -- he is a complete angel when we are in public! As for Emily, she is getting her first tooth (it broke the skin the same day Dekker got his first tooth -- six months and 2 days. Kind of creepy if you ask me!). She is a little crankier than I remember Dekker being, but she is being a trooper and she will get through it! She is 15 lbs, 26 inches already. Growing like a weed!
Well, off to change the needle in the sewing machine and to finish the diaper and sew some more! Pictures to follow!
