Shabby Chic

So here are my inspirations for this baby's nursery. I wanted to stay away from too much pink- but there is a little bit that has crept in. I think I will buy a used dresser that can double as a changing table and paint it that antique-tiffany blue color. I might even attempt the birds and branches accent on it. I already have a crib that looks just like this one (natural wood) and I bought the bedding I loved the most! We are probably going lazy-boy shopping when we get back too. I think that will be our biggest baby purchase- a nice rocker recliner to put in the nursery :) Too bad my big square cream chair doesn't rock. Now I just need to find a place to live in Idaho and start the REAL nesting when I get back!
Have this crib thanks to my mama saving Emily's for me!

The bedding I bought at Target online. It now sits in a box labeled "Baby." It wants to be in a crib- not a box :)



If I can find a lower dresser to be the changing table I want to paint it this antique blue color.
Someone free-hand painted this. So pretty...
This is the same baby bedding I have!

Growing Belly


Felt book #2

Finished my 2nd felt book as far as I can. It was quite a challenge compared to the first one I did because I wanted to make SO many modifications to the original pattern. I even renamed the book and wrote my own story for it. It turned out pretty cute I thought. Someone asked what etsy shop I bought the patterns from- it is called copycrafts. She is based in Boise, ID. I keep finding more projects that are made with felt. It is scary...I might get into a felt frenzy!
