I finished the last of the chubby chirps last week – meet Chelsea! I know I’m really stretching a simple knitting project for all it’s worth, but I’ve enjoyed working on them during some evening tv watching, and I can’t resist the little speech bubble conversations! Since this one is supposed to be a girl, I changed the {…Continue Reading}
I finished up another of the Chubby Chirps, and have a third on the needles right now. I used larger needles (US 8) for the blue one, so he came out bigger. I think they’ll be great friends. Ellen suggested that I call the little one Chirp, and this one could be Chester. I’m kind of {…Continue Reading}

I posted about my first changing pad cover here. I thought that one out of turquoise with white polka dot Minky was pretty cute, but I think I like this even better! I got both of the Minky fabrics from Bobbi at A Vision to Remember’s Etsy store. This lovely black and white damask is {…Continue Reading}
I like having a small lamp in the nursery so you can turn on a soft light for middle of the night diaper changes and feeding sessions.

Time is ticking by both slowly and quickly, and I still have a few nursery prep projects left to check off the punch list. Today I tackled the shelf for baby’s room. The shelf is one of a {…Continue Reading}
Check. Another project off my list! I have this big blank wall behind the guest bed/futon in the nursery, so I went to my favorite resource to find something cute and inexpensive to put there – Etsy! I love Etsy, and not just because I’m a seller on Etsy – I love the concept of {…Continue Reading}
As part of my Blogiversary week, I’m re-posting some of my early blog posts, but trying to go back and fix things up a bit. Here goes: One of the main features of Arden’s nursery is a peg rail going around the room. The idea was a bit of a collaboration between my mother and {…Continue Reading}
I love Etsy, and I love how much variety there is in custom vinyl wall art. I purchased this cute decal set from Janey Mac Press. It’s the Tall Classic Tree w/ Birds and Flowers – BOT110. I had to wait a bit because the instructions indicated not to apply the vinyl for two weeks {…Continue Reading}
Another item checked off my list for nursery prep – I finished up the crib skirt today. I cut a piece of muslin the inside dimensions of my crib, adding 1″ for seam allowances. This measurement was 27 x 51. Then I cut 13 1/2″ strips of the skirt material and finished the bottom and sides {…Continue Reading}
