baby junk!!

sooo we have a few baby things now [besides tons of clothes:)] and thought i'd share. i haven't had any baby showers yet so more to come but here's a start.

here's the crib! it's not COMPLETELY finished but pretty darn close.

greg designed it and built a majority of it...i helped when/where i could.

it's walnut and paduke.

it's designed to be a 3-in-1, so the head/foot board will fit a full size bed.

JOGGGGEEERRR! i'm soo excited bout this thing.

of course, there is stella comin to check things out...

the carseat

fancy lil travel system. woot woot! she'll be joggin asap.

btw: those are lil speakers that you can hook up your ipod so you can jam.

here are some blankets i kinda helped with and my MIL made/finished.

this one i think i tied most of it myself.

the back just says a bunch of random baby junk

this one seems sooo comfy. it's soo soft and then siiiilky. i sure hope she likes it cuz i'm gonna wrap her up in it all the time:)

i didn't help with this one. that would require me to be handy with a sewing machine.

this was the first one we did, so we each tied about half of it. she sewed on the ruffles.

now, this one was made a by a lady in my MIL's ward...she friggin HAND STITCHED it all!!! soo crazy. also silky and delightful.

very impressive.

i think we're gettin there...still have a couple months...well i'd like to be ready at least in a month. she won't be getting a "nursery" so i don't think i'll get too extremely crazy with decorations but i say that now...we will see:)

mi madre's board

i made a board/door whatevs for my mom and here it be...on the lovely floor of my AZ room.

i might've got somewhat crazy with the cream paint color. i spray painted some of it gold, light yellow, white, back over it with light yellow then i painted all of it with a cream i mixed up in a can. i wanted the different yellows to come through when i sanded and i think it happened. some spots are a little more yellow than others.

my plan totally worked.

since i had a million layers of paint on here, some of it came off with the vinyl when i was taking "love" off. but that's ok, no need to be perfect here.

awesome.

more! woot woot.

i finished up some more cabinet doors!

i think they turned out pretty good if i do say so myself. just enough chippy antiqueyness [uhh] goin on.

navy with cream and a bit-o-black silk glaze

green with cream and some brown glaze

tis small [words are 12x3] but i think it could be just the right size for the front door or wherever i suppose.

more to come sometime.

eh here's another...

here's a belly pic for the week.

[27 weeks]

that's not a maternity shirt but it is quite comfy and roomy:)
