I’ve just about finished everything I need to make for Caleb’s room. So far, the list of things I have made has been a crib bumper, crib skirt, curtains, two baby blankets and a pillow. And get this, I’m still not finished. I plan on wrapping a lamp shade in fabric and possibly making a changing pad cover depending on how depleted my fabric supplies are. I’m not one to plan ahead and get everything I need in one fell swoop so I have been taking daily trips to the local fabric store down the street. Let’s just say the nice ladies down there know me very well.

Since I’ve paced myself well, I just have to wait impatiently for Andy and I to get our lazy butts in that room and clean it out. Furniture would also be nice. These are things that will probably get done around September/October. I honestly don’t think I can wait that long to see what everything looks like.  I’m half ecstatic to see the finished product and half terrified I messed up on the measurements. I literally keep myself up at night bouncing between visualizing a beautiful baby boy’s nursery and sitting on the floor surrounded by crooked skirts, bumpers and curtains tearing my hair out.

In the mean time, My sis-in-law (who is an amazing artist) and I have bartered our talents out to each other. She’s painting some letters to go over Caleb’s crib and I’m making a quilt for her daughter. I picked out the fabric today and am really excited with how everything looks. Here’s a sneak peek:

That’s all you’re gonna get until it’s done and sent. I don’t want any particular sister-in-law to have the surprise ruined for her.
