Baby's Room and My Projects

Many of you know I have been working on a lot of projects to get ready for our little baby. Here's some pictures of my sewing projects. First one is the crib blanket. We decided to have a John Deere themed room which is fun but you can't really find many nursery decorations. Those of you who knew me in high school know that I always would design my dance dresses and then take the picture to my mom and ask her to make it for me. After much stress and frustration my mom would work her magic and I would have a beautiful dress, so why change now? So I did what I do best and I drew a picture of the crib blanket I wanted to make and when my mom came to visit this summer we made it. I love it so much!! My mom was great to help me and put up with me trying to learn how to make a blanket. She was so patient and helpful. Thanks Mom!! It's still not totally finished I still need to tie it, but I love it. It has different fabrics that are textured and is a fun little farming tractor scene. I also used the left over John Deere fabric we bought and made bumper pads to match. So Cute!! This is the Baby's room, its not completely finished but as close as it will get for now. I would still like to put up pictures of tractors and farm animals and I need blinds but we wont be using the room for a while, so its been placed on hold for now. The other thing I really wanted to make was a nursing cover. I had seen these all over and contemplated buying one and then found a pattern and decided I could make it for less. It cost $7 to make and I think I will love having it instead of a blanket. I have a few more projects I want to finish so hopefully I can get them done soon! :)
