First of all Darwin's Mom painted these AWESOME paintings for the baby's room. Originally I was going to paint the 2 small ones and she was going to just paint the big one but I was having way too much fun sewing to paint. She ended up painting all of them. I love them.
Karen(my sister) re-painted my rocking chair and I made a seat cushion for it.
Karen also re-painted this dresser too and sprayed the handles and the 2 frames on top green. This is the cutest color of green! I can't get enough of it. I also sewed some material to the back of sheer curtains to keep the room darker.
I sewed the teething rail covers and matching crib skirt from scratch. I also recovered the bumper.
This is what the bumper looked like before...
Now for the most intimidating and biggest project, the carseat. I took it apart peice by peice and cut new fabric to recover it. We didn't buy gender neutral obviously so I wanted to make it extra girly because by the time we have another baby this carseat will be expired and we will have to buy a new one anyway.
Here's the before pictures.
And after.....
I love how it turned out! Now if you look too close you can see that a beginner did it but I'm proud of how it turned out, flaws and all!
Here are some skirts I made. Onsies I embellished and bows(that I have pics of) that I have made.
I still have a few more projects to do. I have more decorating projects to do for her room. I also want to make a couple of little tutu's for her and some other fun crafty girly things for her to wear. I'm telling you I just can't get enough of the frills and bows!
I got most of my patterns and ideas from other peoples blogs and tutorials on line, if you're interested in any let me know and I will send you a link.
I am SO excited to have a little girl in our house....if she would just get here! I hope the new addition post will be coming very soon!
And here's what I'm looking like now days.

WOW!!!! You have been working hard! Everything looks so great. I love the skirts you made - how do you get the material to bunch up like that?
Cute Barbara!! I love it. That is so much fun and I am so impressed. It is so hard to make those sewing projects perfect but it is great to have those little flaws because it makes it more of a one a kind! Good job and congrats on having a little girl because they are the best :)
I am so glad that I got to see all your crafts in person! You are so talented!! I love her room too...oh and I love Juliette!! She is beautiful!
