Ben's Got Work, school (different schedule every week), and weekly physical therapy appointments. I only have my part time job, and Appointments, but the whole nursery situation and getting everything ready for Finn also just seems like a lot.
But I have some verrrryyy good news!
All of the nursery ffurniture is fixed up and in the nursery!!! The bed and dresser have been completely redone, and the rocking chair and changing table are in there too! The only thing we don't have is a crib, but we do have a cradle!!
So I feel a ton better when I can walk in there and see everything. Ben had to completely change the front look of the dresser, but I love it! I put the baskets in the shelves and I cant wait to fill them with clothes and Finn's items. The wall art is about finished too.
So I haven't taken pictures yet, as this all was finished yesterday, but they are coming soon.
The baby shower that is being held at my house is a good opportunity for our guests to see the nursery and understand what i've been describing for months lol.
Everything in the nursery was UPcycled, or things we already had.
The only things I have bought for it were the dresser baskets (50% off) and a lampshade, and a few little under $5 things. The rest of the decor was around the house and I repainted some of it, but overall, it is a cute bird/nature themed nursery.
One project left to do is the crib bedding.
This is what I want to make. Except I want it to be white and pea green. So I'm going to take some bedding given to us and re-cover it. All I will hopefully have to get is the ribbon, as I have the fabric already. I've never made a blanket before, so this should be interesting.
Also this past weekend, I finished all the invitations and gave some of them to my MIL to give to people and I will mail the rest soon. Also, with the help of my Mom, all our Christmas stuff is put away in boxes waiting to be put in storage. And all of my crafting supplies have been organized in boxes under the bed. That free'd up about 3 baskets that I can now use elsewhere :)
So overall..A very productive weekend on the nursery front.
