James David


Rebekah had her baby!  I took a few photos for her, just for fun.  These are a few of the best:


We picked one and I made her birth announcements:


 I made a name plaque to match the nursery set that she chose.

Nautica's Zachary crib set


And I made a bath towel hoodie for the little guy.  He hates to be cold, and it's super cozy and plush. It also coordinates with the nursery.


I used cotton towels--one bath towel and one hand towel-- from Target for the hoodie itself, scraps of cotton fabric for the sail boat, and ribbon from JoAnn's to trim across the bottom of the hood, and all the way across the bottom of the cape.  Quilter's cotton worked so much better for doing the applique than scraps of towel, because the cotton doesn't warp as bad.  (Kaylie's "K" was not supposed to be nearly so big!)  I'll have to ask Rebekah for feedback on functionality.  :)

Congratulations, Josh & Rebekah!  Welcome to the world, James!
