The nest is getting there

[wayfaringwordhack]

 Here's a pic of the nursery. Note to self:  Don't wait until 10 pm to take photos...



See the crib sheet and quilt I made from the nifty flannel I ordered online?  The quilt is going to be a rag quilt, but I haven' had a chance to wash and dry it yet, so the seams aren't frayed as they should be.  Since Julien is big into the sea, I decided to do a mobile of sea critters to habituate Little Bean to future surroundings.

Didn't Julien do a fabulous job with the dresser?

Here are a couple of before photos. From plain ol' pine to colorful goodness. :D

I love the dresser! The room is lovely.

Thank you. It still needs a few finishing touches, like some art on the walls and a rug, but I'll get to those later. :P

It's adorable!

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

It's getting there!

Funny,that - I was just wondering whether you'd popped yet, or whether you were on the pre-baby energy surge and nesting like mad!

You're making a beautiful job of it, too - and Julien's work on the dresser is stunning!

*hugs* loads of 'em :D

Hehe. I wouldn't say I've felt an energy surge, per se, but definitely a desire to nest. :D

Hugs back at ya. :)

Aww. That's such a cool room. Love the dresser, and the mobile. You both did a fabulous job!

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :) I still need to make some wall art, and I have an idea for a rug, but I'm not sure that will be done before D-day.

Oh it's just lovely. Lucky little bean to have a family like you guys :)

Beautiful work on the dresser, but I like the mobile the best.

I need to take a couple of close-ups of those cute little felt critters. They were fun to make.

[tatterpunk.livejournal.com]

That is just. AMAZING. Wonderful!

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

Thanks, chica. :P

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we thought those were fun colors that could work for girl or boy. Soon we'll know which it is to be!

[sunflower-sky.livejournal.com]

Oh wow. What a lucky Little Bean! :)

*lol* He or she will be too young to recognize it, but all the crafting has made me happy and insured that I felt good, so well worth it. :D

[sunflower-sky.livejournal.com]

Exactly. All the stuff we have for babies during the first few years of life is really for us. But LB will appreciate your craftiness when s/he is older and can boast about how his/her parents make his/her own clothes, toys, bedding and furniture. :)

And hopefully he or she will grow up liking to make things, too. :D

The room is SO adorable

[dlandon.livejournal.com]

and *so* you. I love the modern vibe, and the mobile is adorable. He did do a fantastic job painting the dresser, it looks professionally done.

I hope all goes well up to the birth :)

Trop belle la chambre d'Ashanti!! En plus le Doudou martiniquais se fond s'accorde super bien avec les couleurs!
Il nous tarde d'être avec vous, besos los biquitos!

Beautiful nest!

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

Now if only the Little Bean would come to fill it!

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

The last few weeks are the most impatient!

[pjthompson]

Soon, soon...

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

What you've done with the chest of drawers is wonderful!

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'll tell Julien you think so. :D

[goblinwriter.livejournal.com]

Woohoo, looks nice! I'd totally want to be a baby living there. ;)

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

hehe. For the moment, Baby seems too happy to stay inside!

[kmkibble75.livejournal.com]

That looks great! I'm glad you memorialized it in its current, simplistic beauty before it's completely overrun by the eventual, inevitable madness to come. :-)
