He may not have a name yet, and he may not actually be spending any time in this room for months, but, well, it’s all ready!
So much of this room was a collaboration of friends and family, and over 90% of it is used or handmade. I don’t know if there has ever been a [...]

This is the rocker my mom used with all of her seven children; it is over 40 years old. She offered it to me and my husband when we found out we were pregnant {although me and several siblings have been diligently hinting at it for years}.
I scored at Joann Fabrics to recover it for [...]

We’re knocking them off the list one by one… while I was finishing up the quilt, my mom was sewing the bumpers for me. That proved to be trickier than I would have imagined, but thanks to my mom, they are perfect! The fabric is Medallion in Teal {part of the French Riviera collection by [...]

My holiday break was not without projects…
Here is the finished crib quilt for the little boy… so cozy! I used scrap fabric from the bumpers {coming soon}, 7 different fat quarters, and Moda’s sock monkey flannel for the backing.

She made the quilt with her adorable Constellation fabric that she designed. And a keen eye I must say, having kept with our nursery theme: grey and yellow.
Although I’ve never met Natalie, this is what I know about her:
1. Talk about “irons in the fire”… these are a [...]

How have I never heard of this stuff? I wanted to find some laminated cotton to make baby bibs, with little luck. My brother found this iron on vinyl and made bibs for me out of fabric scraps. MUCH cheaper {and cuter}! Thanks Lane!

I wanted to do some geometric shapes on the wall in the baby room, so I created a stencil. Start to finish on this project is about 1-2 hours.
