girl stuff

Let's just say lately I have been a little busy. Baby girl in my belly has sunk in and I am in full gear planning, creating, making.....well everything pink. I've made her 3 blankets so far and just finished the most important one- 18 handmade appliquéd stars and 1 fuzzy moon all sewn onto vintage handkerchief white cotton, binded with the softest white flannel I could find. Pure Heaven; In my eyes. I have been dreaming of this quilt since I got pregnant- either boy or girl, this was going to be THE quilt. I have outgrown bedding sets and never used the blankets in them anyways so I have pieced together my own creation. Starting with this blanket, I then purchased a pottery barn white scalloped crib skirt with a trim of pink, and found a steal at the local Good Neighbour Store with an eyelet bumper pad and blanket for $2.50! I see beauty in all things; whether old, used, new.

I have a vision.

I also couldn't find a mobile that wasn't in my opinion 'ugly'. Ok, maybe ugly is a little harsh but I must say I have found 90% of my nursery items NOT in the nursery section. I am not a fan of the 'cutsie' bright little girl things and to find things that fit my dream- did prove to be a little difficult. This mobile will be made with a jewelled Christmas ball (silver) complete with a flower in the middle. It will gorgeous.

Soft pink and soft grey with white compliments. That's the vision. I printed off a nursery I liked off pinterest and hit the stores with one focus in mind. That vision. And boy, did I succeed.

I can't wait to put together this room of my dreams. This will be so fun.

The quilt I just finished for my baby girl. This picture does NOT do this quilt justice. One touch will make you fall in love with the softness. The hearts are different fabric textures. I made an edging with 4 large zig zags to create a stamped look.

This is the nursery that I am trying to recreate. I found that butterfly mobile that I will hang above my chair. So soft and feminine.
