Crafty Idea Collection

Ok, people, I am waking up at 4am now. Wide awake and thinking crafty thoughts for decorations for my upcoming (eek!) baby shower.

Here's a list...I gotta write it down lest I forget!

- hostess and family rosette ribbons (Great Grandma So-In-So, etc)
- sticker name tags for everyone else
- paper bunting to match fabric bunting I made for over crib in nursery
- tissue paper flowers
- plastic blue table cloth back drop for candy buffet table

Nursery In Progress

Our nursery is still in progress, but it's coming along quite nicely. :) Here's a few sneak peeks! We now have a lovely new dresser we found for a steal on Craigslist, a lovely acrylic stacked lamp from Goodwill of all places, half of the artwork is framed and I finished the quilt and bunting I was sewing! Lovely!

Pretty Pendant Baby Quilt

Oh my goodness! This is the prefect idea for a quilt to make for my nursery! I am doing a pretty pendant theme for our baby shower complete with fabric pendants made from Heather Bailey's Nicey Jane line - this would a perfect way to add to the nursery and use up more of the pretty fabric I have.
