Clara's Nursery Complete!
Well, the nesting instinct has kicked in and I'm buzzing around, making lists, and sorting things, getting ready for our daughter's arrival. I'm so excited that it's October! Not only is it one of my favorite months, but our baby is due THIS MONTH! This picture was taken at 36 weeks. I am now 37 1/2 weeks, full term!
BEFORE: Here's our guest room as it stood at the beginning of August, right before we (Mark) started moving furniture around....Just about everything has moved to the basement, which is now one big guest room.
AFTER: Clara's nursery! It is SUCH a relief to have it pulled together at last. There are a few bits and pieces I'd like to change but most of the decor I've worked on for m-o-n-t-h-s is finished and finally hung up last night.
The duck-mirror-turned-girly-mirror...one of my favorite projects. I love the pink knobs.
These fabric pom-poms were totally time-consuming. I read on a blog that someone had made several for a party. A party!?! These need to be permanently hung and displayed, if you ask me. I spent hours cutting circles and then hours gluing circles. (not to mention hours trying to find two smaller paper lanterns...I ended up with one large lantern and two smaller foam balls). However, after all the work, I love the result. The next most tedious part of this project was deciding how I wanted them hung. Poor Mark. He was standing on a chair, moving them around, pulling them up and down for about 20 minutes before I could decide. What do you think?
I used a frame I picked up at Good Will and leftover quilt fabric to pull together a bow-holder. I've seen these on several blogs and really wanted to try it out. Now I'm itching to make more bows/clips!
Nothing too fancy here...I stenciled her name on some blocks that Mark cut out for me. Picking out the font took the longest amount of time....surprised? :)
My very first sewing project ever!! (since 7th or 8th grade) I picked up a stack of hand towels on clearance not long ago and wanted to use some of my mom's leftover fabric to make some girly burp cloths. I know, not necessary, but a lot of the ones I had already are decorated with cars and trucks and such. My mom very patiently taught me to use her old sewing machine! I'm hooked!

Love the nursery, love the name blocks and the font, love the bow/clip holder thing! You're so good at that stuff!
SO beautiful and serene! SO excited for you!!!
Love everything Emily. You are so creative. I also love the color of the walls. :-)
That really is a beautiful room Em. I can't wait for baby Clara to arrive!!
How beautiful, I'm seriously wanting a baby girl right now after seeing all this sweet pink. But boys are fun too, just in their own way. I'm pretty sure our due dates are very close. I can't wait for this pregnancy to be over so we can meet our little man, I'm sure you're feeling the same way.
Her room looks so peaceful and beautiful. I think it's really special that so much of it was handmade.
