Ready for Baby

Once upon a time...

Stuart's dad made him a train

and gave it to him for Christmas!

I decided to base the baby's room around this sweet gift

We painted an accent wall blue...

and added these vintage posters

Stu's pinewood derby cars seemed to fit right in!

a sweet friend gifted us these shelves...

 Tada!  The room is small so I can't really get a full picture but the crib Stuart made is against the blue accent wall and I am amazed that I actually pulled off something so masculine.  Good thing Stuart made it home a few days before the baby actually came, or this would still look something like this.  The best part is thanks to the thrift stores and Stuart's skills this room only cost us less than 100 dollars :)

Nesting

Maybe it's the cold weather...or maybe it's those nesting hormones...or maybe it's just Pintrest, but I have been making alot of stuff lately :)

My first attempt at canning: cranberry apple butter

I also have been sewing up a storm...with my mom's help we have converted four of my skirts into cute Sunday dresses, made a cute house dress from a tee-shirt (check out what she's wearing at the apple orchard), and I designed this little lace romper using a onesie, lace and some elastic :)

 Throw in a button tree on canvas, a fall leaf table runner, and some cool details for the baby's nursery; it's apparent that the crafting bug has definitely bit!
