A little bit of this..a little bit of that...

Today I put this together:

 That's right! I got this lovely rocker and the ottoman as a gift....

Sunday my mom and sister threw a surprise baby shower for me! It was amazing..and I had no idea.

This is what they got me! I love that family of mine. I will post pics of the shower and all the amazing details soon!!

I also got this in the mail today:

I got to hear the babies heartbeat too...

Overall, I say it was a good day!

Friday Wish List : Another rocker

Ok. So I found this rocking chair and ended up falling in love with it!! I was considering driving to the States to pick it up! That was until the crib and dresser went into the nursery....there is not enough room! I was very sad about this!!

You can buy different coloured slip covers if you like but I obviously liked the white! You can kind of see the espresso rocking legs under!? Sooooo pretty! It is $169.88 at Walmart in the States.... There is also at ottoman that goes with it.....

 

It is $59.88...so cute right!? Well, I guess I can dream.....hahahah

Baby DIY #3 : Cute Curtains

This weeks baby DIY project involved curtains! I bought white curtain panels at Giant Tiger for the nursery. They ended up being a little too short. I didn't take a before picture, but you will see how short they were with the fabric being where it is.

I bought this fabric at Walmart:

 It has the yellow, aqua and white that I like. The green is a little off, but I didn't think that would matter too much!

I just cut it, pinned it and sewed! :) 

 

Here is the end result:

I am very happy with how they turned out! I have fabric left over so I am thinking of either making a tie to tie them back, adding a strip of fabric somewhere on the actual curtain, or making a pillow for the rocking chair! We will see!!

Weekly Nursery Update

So, I think from here on out I am going to decorate the nursery and keep it a secret until the big reveal!!! You guys don't want me to wreck the surprise, do you!? Maybe I will update you if I get certain things, but I won't show you the room until it is all or almost all done!!! What I can tell you now:

The crib and dresser came this week!

Here is the crib:

(and the bed skirt. It is aqua...and needs to be ironed! :) )

 Here is the dresser:

 Also here is the cube organizer:

 I bought the fabric drawers to go into it....with the fake wood finish..I thought they were kinda cool...but I ended up hating them so I switched them around to the just brown side. I might add some sort of label or decoration to the box.

 After I took the above picture I realized I never put the backs on the spots that didn't have baskets. So here it is all done. Looks so much better!

 And I think that is all I am going to tell you until it is all done! Like I said I might post little things here and there, but I want the end result to be a surprise!! Also keep your eye out for more DIY projects! You will see some pretty cute ones shortly!
