The theme for the nursery

Folks have been wondering what the nursery will look like and it's been changing constantly I must admit. However, a couple of purchases have developed into a general color scheme. This print is the final nail in the coffin though and the sunflower wall some of you have heard about (that came with the house and is just a little dated) will be repainted with one of the lighter colors from the print (almost certainly one of the greens). Don't worry, we will be using no-VOC paint.


To give you a sense of the rest of it here are some images of what else will be going in the room:






This is the bedding but it will be in this color:

if only I could sew...


Nevermind that my friend, Jo, gave me her old (yet extremely nice) sewing machine. I've been afraid to touch it without lessons for fear of breaking the lovely thing. This just seems very fun and the folks at Spool even have a pattern for it. I am just that pathetic. Of course, I suspect getting it all to balance wonderfully is quite the accomplishment.

Do you think I'll have time to learn how to sew after the baby arrives?

Yeah, I didn't think so either.
