Last Sunday was my husband’s birthday and we decided to have a low-key celebration in our backyard (seeing as I am full-term and ready to pop).  It is amazing to see how different our parties have gotten in the past year.  Most of our friends are having babies and there were 4 little [...]

In my efforts to collect my cloth diapering supplies, I wanted to find the perfect wet bags.  We already have a Diaper Genie in the the nursery, since we plan to use disposables part of the time, so I really didn’t want a second garbage pail cluttering up the room.   I asked [...]

My Jenn Ski Alphabet Art I made for the nursery was blogged over at Tiny Decor (the original source for my inspiration).  They were asking for photos of projects that had been inspired by their Alphabet Card Mural, so I gladly sent them a photo.  Thanks, Jackie!

When JD and I purchased out house last year we had BIG plans for the kitchen.  Honestly, the entire thing needs to be gutted.  The cabinets are old and shoddy and though the counters and floors are newer, they are crooked and just not our style.  So when we moved in, we did [...]

Oh gosh, I FINALLY finished the bird mobile for my friend (her baby is a month old…eeek!).  Between not being motivated due to the heat and balancing issues with the branches, it has taken me WAY too long. I really thought this one would go faster, since I had already made a mobile, but it [...]

I am OBSESSED with quilting and I want to quilt every piece of fabric that I see right now.  When my friend, Wendy, had her baby back in February, I was just coming off of working 12 hour days plus morning (noon and night) sickness, so I didn’t get to make anything for her super-adorable [...]

I finally finished the baby quilt! I am really pleased with how it turned out.  The free-motion quilting was not as difficult as I thought it would be (once I got the hang of it) and sewing the applique on was a breeze.  

The back of the quilt is pale blue Minky Dot and it [...]

I was originally planning on making all the bedding and curtains for the nursery, but being pregnant has made me a little tired and lazy (plus I want to concentrate on the fun items, like the quilt and a bird mobile).  I am VERY slowly working on the quilt (which will probably serve as a [...]

Here is the aqua, blue and green baby quilt I am working on.

 I used a pattern that Oh Fransson sells at her etsy shop and I guiltily used a lot of the same fabrics that she used in her quilt. Why mess with perfection?!  I fell in love with the lime green and aquas and [...]

My fabric arrived and I have been busy sewing my little fabric birds for my baby mobile!  I will post the finished product once I am done.  I have already been thinking about what I can make to coordinate with the bird mobile and I am considering making a baby quilt.  I have never quilted, [...]
