Baby Mobile

First it's fabric show off time!!!!

 

I love them! Don't you? I found this fat quarter bundle at JoAnn's and knew I had to have it for baby! The colors fit in perfectly with our theme and it's just the right amount of girly that I love it and the hubby doesn't feel like puking from girly overload.

What's our nursery theme you ask? Oh that's right I haven't mentioned it yet, have I? Well it was a fierce battle between my husband and I and the winner was........... my hubby. I let him win this once, with the stipulation that for the next baby I get my Dr. Seuss nursery. This dear little one gets Where The Wild Things Are, my hubby's favorite children's book! Still so much fun and I'm looking forward to making all sorts of stuffed monsters.

Remember last week when I mentioned the mobile I wanted to make. Well here it is!

I decided to not paint the beads like stated in the tutorial. I think they look quite good unpainted and I think the multicolored beads make it a bit more visually stimulating for baby.

And yes, it's hanging from the side of lamp. I didn't have a good place to hang it up and I wasn't gonna try to get it hung from the ceiling since my hubby and I are moving in a few months. But doesn't that fabric just look awesome with this? I can't wait to see how the nursery ends up turning out.

And a thank you to Jaime of Sew She Sews for sharing the awesome tutorial with everyone.

IT'S A..........

This is a side view of our healthy little miss. The dotted circle is her head. She refused to let us see her face, all we could get was a profile or a forehead and eyeball shot.

This momma to be has been waiting to make any baby items until we knew what we were having! And I'm so excited to get to make all the cutesy girly stuff I've been eying! But of course I couldn't resist making something before knowing! What crafter can wait when they are expecting?

But aren't these booties cute? It's a short cuffed version of the Lion Brand's- Easy Booties. This leftover bit of cotton yarn has been taunting me and I just had to use it up! I love the colors. Might have been a bit to girly for a boy but that doesn't matter now, does it?

And what baby craft shall be expected first.... I'm thinking this mobile from Sew She Sew's. Time to hit the craft stores!
