Painted Jars

I'm not sure where I came up with all the ideas for the nursery, but this one is from Pinterest. I want to do some shelves with knick knacks and thought these painted jars would be a simple way to tie in my color scheme.

Changing Pads

I had never worked with PUL before. My sister suggested I make a pad to go under a high chair using the stuff, but I opted for changing pads. We've got dogs to clean up the mess under the high chair ;)




***Update - these work great! The best use I've found for them is to put them over the changing pad I have on my changing table when baby has had a blow out O_O! This makes for easier clean up.

Nursery Signs

I want to do a collage on the wall so I've come up with a couple inspirational signs to go with it. I cut these out using my Silhouette:




I will be putting these in gold and mint frames.

Rag Quilt

When I began thinking of the decor for the nursery I went and picked out some fabric to make the bedding. I wanted coral, peach, mint, gold, and white.


Front:



Back:




















I really like how the blanket turned out and will feature the fully ragged finished product when I finish the whole bedding set.

Arrows Part 2

After the first set of arrows for the nursery hubby decided to make some for downstairs.




Perfect for any direction life might take us.

Ragged Bibs

I made one of these bibs for my niece several years back and included it here on my blog. You will see one in this group that looks just like it. I had one more scrap of fabric just perfect to make one of these for my own little girl.




I thought about making some of the bandana bibs, but went with the traditional for now. Maybe someday.

I really like it!

Pacifier Clips

Nothing too fancy about these. I do like that I can customize the ribbons I want to use to make these match what my baby might be wearing.




***Update - considering my baby girl only likes the Soothie pacifiers so far I can't use these unless I modify them with some kind of string to go through the small holes on those pacifiers.

Hooded Towels and Wash Cloths

I actually made three sets of these, but didn't take pictures of the other two. My hope is that these will work well and be soft enough for baby girl. I did a combination of terry cloth inside and printed flannel on the outside.




***Update - These have worked out great and are so much better than the flimsy store bought versions. They soak up a lot of moisture and keep lil one dry.

Super Bowl Cookies

My attempt at football cookies for our work Super Bowl party. Someone quickly pointed out that I did laces out instead of in.




These weren't my typical. They have soft chocolate frosting.
