craft projects and baby loot

for the last 6 months or so, i think since christmas, i haven't felt any kind of intrest in any type of crafting. until we found out we were having a girl, that is. my creative gears are constantly spinning now and i have a LONG list of stuff i want to do.

so far i've made a new boppy cover...



a baby girl can't be nursed on a blue and green construction themed boppy!

i bought this cute giant E for her wall. okay so maybe it's not cute yet, but it will be!



and now that i've finished her quilt (and a matching pillow for the glider rocker) i can get started on figuring out a wall color and decorating that E!



also on the list... hopefully finding and refinishing a dresser in the shabby chic style, tissue poms in place of a mobile, modpodged puzzle blocks with her name, and much more that i just can't remember right now. i'm also inspired to finally make some kind of artwork for the boys' walls, and for christmas i REALLY want to make a play kitchen out of an old entertainment center for them. (it'll make a great hand-me-down, too!) PHEW... i better get movin'!!

i've been REALLY good about not going all out buying girly stuff. the few things i have bought were sale stuff or clearance and must haves. c'mon, what little girl doesn't need at least one tutu or pettiskirt in every size?! the socks are for baby legs that i'm going to make for her. she'll probably have them in every color to match every outfit she'll have!

Tights and tutus are very important. Skirts in general. It just makes them feel better. :) Sometimes don't you think you would feel better if you could wear a tutu and heart tights all day? (I just one of those looks that grown up women can't pull off...)
