Bump Update & an Easy-Peasy Nesting Project!

Hi everyone!  I decided to do a "bump" picture update today :o)  My shape has really changed just within the last week or so - no hiding I'm prego these days! I'm 26 weeks today - I can't believe how the time has flown!  The realization just came upon me that we only have a maximum of about 3 1/2 months left - which isn't much time at all! Yikes!


I've been gathering ideas for our nursery over the last 5 months and am super excited to get started on it's creation this week.   I plan on doing just a whisper of blue on the walls, with an antique mantle on the wall above the crib, from which some antique unmatched frames will highlight a decor element (which I haven't yet decided on).  All of my linens and fabric elements will be Ecru, Cream, & Brown - with color finally finding its way into the scheme in a hand made mobile made from perched quilted birds - like the ones pictured below.



Another easy-peasy project I think will be perfect for the nesting mood I'm in is a hand-made playmat I found over in Molly's Sketchbook on The Purl Bee.  I found some super cute "gender neutral" fabric at their shop Purl Soho and ordered it straight away - I can't wait for it to come!  I think I may order some Oil Cloth fabric from them to make an easy-to-clean mat as well!  Did I mention I was nesting a bit?  LOL - Anyways, here's a shot of the inspiration playmat, along with the some swatches of the fabrics I ordered to make my own.    




Happy Creating!

  3. Yes, I'll be there for sure! Just got off the phone with Tracy about that actually... Might just be yours truly, but since we're going to Tommy & Korinne's this weekend, I'll work on her a little! ;)
