Crafty

Today I am in search of a boppy pillow cover tutorial and pattern. I have found several for experts, but since I am such a novice I need a step by step with visual tutorial. Most sewing bloggers don't have the patience for people like me to post such a thing. I don't blame them :).
I have also found some fabrics that I want to use to make Buckaroo's blanket. I just have to pick one. I made Sunshine's blanket and she loves the satin side. So, I thought it would be nice to make one for him to use during tummy time and snuggles.

So that we didn't have to completely repaint the nursery, which went through two girls, I am adding paintings (done by me- scary) of a fox, brown bear, etc. to take the sweet outdoorsy nursery to a woodsy outdoorsy nursery. All pink will go and sage green, red, more brown, and blues will pop up. I have a vision that my husband can't seem to grasp and is worried it will be to girly, but I am sure it will not. Again, going back to my visual mind, I can "see" it will be so adorable!
We are also going to redo the girls' room as they are moving in together. I wanted it to be a special place for them both to relax, play, read, etc. I originally painted it a soft purple, my fave color. Now that Cupcake is almost 4, she let us know her fave color is pink. So, I found some coordinating bedding and accessories that are pink, yellow, green, and some others that show off their vibrant and fun personalities. I was originally thinking of doing "sweet" with soft pink and ballerinas, but my hubby told me that he thinks they are less ballerinas and more Fresh Beat Band. I have to agree as they drum, sing, and jump on everything with giggles all the way. I have a super creative friend that is going to paint it up adorable after the painters do the base coat. I'll post pictures once it gets started.
So as you can tell, we are about to take on a huge, indoor, aesthetic remodel of our home with the goal that it will be done before Buckaroo's scheduled c-section date of May 15 (i.e. 57 days). I'm so excited that I only have small glimpses of how crazy we are for doing this!!!! We are repainting 95% of our house, ripping up all carpet, putting down wood looking floors, and then I'm going to do the girl to boy nursery switch. Luckily, Mr. Wonderful agreed that we could have professionals do it since I'm super pregnant and he's super busy at work and seriously, this is not the time to mess up and have to start all over.
I love being crafty, but most of all, I love the dreaming process. Well, maybe I love the all finished process the most. The one where you sit down, look around, exhale and smile. I bet that's exactly how God felt when He finished His work of Creation, rested, looked around and blessed it because it was very good.
