a hospital outfit

I found some funky ribbon on sale and just kept on bedazzling plain onesies and hats. I'm hoping Molly can fit in this. It's newborn size and Colt didn't really fit in newborn anything. We shall see. But isn't it adorable?
I guess I could put it on and stretch it out for her.

plain white t's

What do you do when you have a million plain white onesies?
Take some ribbon and make them girly!
And ya see that hat??
I crocheted it!

I'm a crafty son of a gun.

baby girl's room is finito!

Now all we need is a baby...preferably a girl one.
11 weeks and counting!

my table shrunk

While my Mom and Grandma were painting Moll's room, my Grandpa and Andy got busy on a few projects of their own. I somehow managed to 'assist' all the projects that day, put a pizza in the oven and organize the baby's closet.

Their biggest project of the day was cutting down our dining room table. We bought a bar height dining room table three years ago when we moved in our house. Since then I'm pretty sure we've sat at the table maybe 5 times. It's so high my mom needs a forklift just to sit in the chair [she's 4'11', which I think is legally considered a midget. love you mom!] So Andy and Grandpa used a hand saw and got to cutting the table down to normal dining table height. We love our newly shrunk table.

Colt is learning the hard way that the table has shrunk. He used to be able to run under it and now, well...not so much. His head has gotten a few good bonks but they were mostly in the first few days and I think we're past the pain.

It's good to have a carpenter in the family and a loving Grandpa!

The beginning: Mom starting on the hot pink:Grandma peeling tape away:The end: Colt's room just got reduced in rank as far as coolness goes.

Isn't it so cute? Me likey.

party puffy pom ball things

Yesterday my cousin Meg and I set out to prime Molly's room. We got approximately 3/4 of 1 wall done then I decided it was too dang smelly and with the window open and the Arctic air blowing in on my soft, supple, skin, I was bound to die if I kept it up. So we quit.

While I was thinking of what else I could do to be productive I decided to get crafty. There are there party-pom-puffy-tissue-paper-flower-ball-thingies that I once saw on the Martha Stewart website but more recently saw recreated on ETSY. They only cost you $200 for one party pom...they're made out of tissue paper. I'm exaggerating about the $200 part but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't pay anything for something made out of tissue paper so I searched the www and found Martha's how-to instructions for a flower-ball-thingie. Turned out pretty cute!

I'm going to hang them from the ceiling in baby girls room.

You likey?

I made a few flower headbands for infants/toddler girls and I tested them out on eBay and they sold. Yay! Cute, huh? So, I'll probably be making more and maybe opening my own Etsy store thingie. Stay tuned.

I found some free blog backgrounds at http://www.simplychicblogs.blogspot.com/
I just figured out how to add them to my blog and I'm going flippin nuts changing things.

This is fun.
Whee!

The Nursery

I really wanted to title this blog 'Andy should have a show on the DIY network.'-Because he should! When we bought our house we were in projects up to our eyeballs. Luckily, Andy is a handy man and in a snap [and by a snap, I mean many many months construction projects] he made our house a home. Then I decorated : ) The nursery was one of the rooms that we just kept the door closed because it would get finished when we needed it...and with Colt on his way, we need it.

Before:

Andy had to rebuild the wall

After:

The round baby cage.

The rocking chair.

Coppers new hide-out

The bag that has been packed and sitting on the nursery floor for two weeks with a fully charged digital camera and a video camera ready to go. Maybe one day I'll actually get to grab the bag.
