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 $3/yard. My mom recovered the cushions complete with zippers and her custom piping {she’s “passionate about piping!”} and she added some scrap batting to make them more durable. My hubby sanded and stained it with gel stain, sealed it with varnish, and now it’s good as new! It’s tiny and perfect for the size of the room… and I had very little hand in the project: win-win!

One more little detail, and then I’ll reveal the baby room… almost done!

But I still need a project in my lap. Here I’m making shop tags for Pillows By Mom, whilst my little one encroaches on my surface area.

{I made the tags in Illustrator, attached Whitney’s Green Apple Divine Twine, and clipped them on with assorted colored safety pins from the fabric store.}
