Its been a long time since we've posted on our blog, but we've had a good excuse -- actually 2. Over the Christmas holidays we discovered that both my sister and I were pregnant! Since then its been a whirlwind of morning sickness, exhaustion, craft shows, and lots of baby sewing.
I had designed my little boy's nursery pretty quickly, but it took some time for my sister to decide on a theme, as well as her baby girl's name. Once she decided, well once her husband finally agreed to the name she wanted, we had a lot of work to accomplish in just a few short weeks before her baby shower. In the end, everything turned out perfect and adorable for my favorite
(and only) niece.
Oh-Not-So-Pink Birds & Birdhouses
At a random trip to the fabric store, I found a new nursery fabric that had birds and birdhouses on it. My sister wanted something less pink with blue so she could reuse a lot of her first child's, a baby boy, crib sheets and things. The birdhouse fabric had blue, green, peach, grey and pink. The perfect color scheme for her.
At first she said she didn't want much, just a quilt, but within a day or two her list had grown to include an entire nursery! It was fun to work on another baby girl's nursery while working on my son's gender neutral nursery. There is just something about cute ruffles and frills that are so fun to work with!
