to paint...or not to paint??


So originally I just assumed we would paint to walls in the nursery, the wall color we have isn't what you would typically pick for a baby's room, and I didn't think we would be able to find bedding that would match. Well, the more and more I looked at bedding, I couldn't find any that I really liked, so my mom and my sister are being so sweet and are going to make my bedding and these are the fabrics that we picked out. Justin and I were still planning on painting the room, but we were having a hard time agreeing on a color. So after we put the crib up I threw the fabric swatches in the crib and realized that the yellow in the fabric is really close to the color on our walls...so the questions stands...to paint or not to paint the room?? any suggestions?

We finally got our furniture for the nursery on Thursday...it was only like 3 weeks late. So of course as soon as we got it home we had to put it together! Jut and I did a pretty good job if I do say so myself :)

first baby blanket


For Christmas I got a sewing machine, and this is one of my first projects! It didn't turn out as perfect as I wanted it to, but for my first try on a new sewing machine, all by myself (ok I had a little help from my mother-in-law, Lynn, over the phone) I guess it turned out just fine. I hope it becomes her favorite blanket.
