more pom poms

Category: baby | January 12th, 2011

so i’ve been working on a new header for PLC today and haven’t had any luck. bummer. so i moved on. and made some pom poms for the baby’s mobile. i found one for $5 the other day and just replaced the old hanging down things with these. :)

mini knit project

Category: baby | January 6th, 2011

soo for the record i definitely started this project for myself. but my head is not that small. so it became baby’s! :) got this super cute idea from Elsie over at A Beautiful Mess. she has a little tutorial to follow if you want to make one!
knitted rectangle
i knitted a nice (little) rectangle for the hat.
side strings
then i added some green yarn that i braided for the two tie strings.
pom pom
then the fun pom pom! i totally could have made it bigger, but i didn’t want to embarrass my child. ;)
tada
and done!
baby hat
imagine a sweet little baby girl’s head right there. and imagine her loving it and keeping it on. lol

heart pillow
did y’all ever have a little tooth fairy pillow?? i had one my mom made me. wish i knew where it was. it was light blue with care bears on it and it was heart shaped too. this was my first attempt at making one. it’s about 9″x6″.
lace
tiny pocket
need to work on my sewing skills, esp. on the points. :) but you get the idea.
message in pocket
if there’s no kiddos with loose teeth just yet, then this is perfect for a little message pillow! love it.

it was super easy to do. acrylic paints are amazing. :) i was also thinking of writing in her little initials on the trunk…as soon as we know what those will be. ;)

it’s going to go above the crib. looks fun against the orange.

sneak peek

Category: baby | November 18th, 2010

baby room
baby crib
wall decor
here is a lil sneak peek of the baby’s room! while i was gone this past weekend, hubs and his bestie painted the wall! it’s a fun pumpkin orange. only one wall. thought it would be too much if every wall was painted. it looks fabulous! i have been working hard on washing all the clothes…and there’s a ton thanks to my sis! :) and organizing all of the little pieces. omg they are so tiny. adorable. there’s still lots to be done to the room. placing all the furniture+putting all the tiny things in their special places+adding shelves to the wall+hanging up decor+painting a big canvas to go above the crib+lots of love=yay!

i’m trying to be super productive when i have the time. although this lack of energy is creeping up on me the farther along i get. it’s fun nesting, but exhausting! hope you are having a productive day!!

peace and love
