It´s nap time!

So while my Princess naps, and yes, that is a clothespin on her hood, I thought I´d share some super fun and inexpensive decor for her room which was all done during a series of naps.

I made the roman shade in her room before she was born, but the letters I made afterwards. I tried to copy the pattern from the shade using some watercolors and watercolor paper that I had. I used the curlz font on Word as my inspiration for the font and then free-handed them. The letters that spell her name out are hung from some simple twine using little frog clothespins that I picked up at the drugstore for 2€. I like frogs, and even put a frog on her laundry bag, so the pins were perfect. I´m happy with the result, and it didn´t cost me an arm and a leg to do! Only a couple of naps and some art supplies that I already had.

Baby gift

A friend of mine just gave birth to a little girl four weeks early. I am still waiting to get maternity pay...so the only gift I can give right now is one of my (very precious) time and my stash of crafting materials. Plus a copy of Good Night Moon because every child should have one. Good Night Moon was also my personal favorite as a child.

Daddy is good for...

My excuse for not blogging...

Irons in the fire

I think I have too many irons in the fire. I´m bad about starting new projects before I´ve finished the old ones...I´ve found dresses half-finished that have been waiting to be finished for10-12 years! Yes, you read that right, 10-12 years. I´m certain that one of them might even fit me, correction have fit me pre-pregnancy, but now... Now is not the time to finish them. So those dresses (three of them) will have to wait until after the baby is born and I have found my new figure, whatever that may be. But I have indeed managed to finish a project or two, and I have managed to start and almost finish new ones....

I finished the bonnet and here it is being worn by one of my dolls:


I´ve started making the jumper that I intend for our little girl to wear home from the hospital, and here it is:
And then there are the contour burp clothes that I have cut out and need to finish, all 17 of them, the laundry sack from the Amy Butler book, the organizers/cloth boxes, the quilt, blanket.....must stick to a schedule and finish. Must finish. Must not start new projects. Must not start new projects....Did I mention that I ordered 70 yards of fabric for making baby clothes?

Finished

Well, sort of. I finally finished the bonnett project, so the God´s must have stopped laughing long enough for some things to go right. It´s not perfect, but I´m pleased with it. In fact, I plan to make another one when I find the fat quarters I got a couple of weeks ago....stupid pregnancy brain.

Oh, and I´ll post pictures when I get the digital camera recharged, when I find the charger....this one is my husband´s problem, not mine!
