Post 184: Last Minute Projects

I finally finished Luke's crib 'quilt'...It was supposed to be a quilt at least, but I got lazy and it ended up being a patch blanket. It is cute none the less (if you ask me). :D

I'll post nursery pictures next week so stay tuned!

Sooo, nearly every woman I know is expecting a baby in the next month or two so I have been sewing my tail off trying to finish up shower gifts before baby Luke gets here! It has actually been quite fun to work on some quick easy projects. I like seeing the results so soon! It is also a fantastic way to use up all the bits and pieces of fabric I have gathering dust.

(I was going to post more pictures but they are all blurry!) My mind and photography skills went out the door once pregnancy hit. ah!

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!!

Post 171: Nursery!

Baby Luke's room is coming along! Here was my sloppy 'design board' of what is going on thus far:

We put in hardwood floors and painted the walls...I love the little chandelier that came with the house, but I am not sure I will being keeping it in a boys room... And my favorite part...the fabric! Yum!

We have made it a bit further than the picture shows but I have been busy sewing up Luke's bedding and have had no time for pictures! Over the weekend the husband and I assembled the crib and put the quarter round around the room. I am in love with it!!

Things are settling down a little around here and I hope to get back to my sewin' blogging self for a little while at least!

Soooo, besides reading about chickens this weekend I did get to do a little bit of crafting. With everything tossed away in storage crafting has really been put on the back burner. This weekend I completed a small project for Baby's room using cheap items I could find at Alco (since I was too lazy and cheap to travel into town.)

I am pretty pleased with it.

Also, this handsome guy arrived in my mailbox this weekend. I was so excited!

You have no idea how much I love this and how perfect it will be in my soon to be fantastic nursery.

Sorry for the dark pictures it has been pretty dreary here the past few days :(

Post 141: Daydreaming In Blue

I have officially decided the color of the nursery! I am in LOVE with all of these lovely blue rooms. I still have two months until I know the duckling's gender but I think this color will be perfect for my little boy OR my little girl. I particularly love the girls rooms in blue!

In my search I came across some fantastic blogs I will definitely be sharing with you all a bit later!
