Baby #2 Nursery (Under Construction!)

Coming March 2015....

A precious new little sweetheart is on her way!

I've had the hubbie working almost constantly on the girls' rooms. We moved my punkin into a new big girl room and are revamping the nursery for little sister. 

Here are the rooms when we moved in...

My "big" girl's room ^^^

The nursery ^^^

We went through a few different paint colors before I finally decided I was pleased with the punkin's new room. Yes, even though it is neutral, it is still in fact a different paint color! This one is kind of taupe-y with gray undertones and washable instead of the flat pinkish beige that was there when we moved in. I still have to hang pictures, add the dresser and play kitchen, and hubbie added a second shelf tonight that isn't pictured, but it's coming along. Best of all.... she LOVES it! :)

Oh, and we need to add the closet doors... both girlies are going to need their new closet doors put on, but for now, the hubbie is super busy readying the nursery so we can move all the baby furniture out of the guest room. 

The only thing I had done in the nursery for the punkin was paint the walls. I honestly had a blast painting this room before we moved in- it actually afforded me the first alone time I had since the punkin was born while she played with our amazing, sweet babysitter downstairs. :) I love love LOVE this wall color, but it doesn't match our color scheme/theme for little sister and it had to go. Considering there's a bit left in the can, it may make a comeback in the form of an accent piece of furniture in the punkin's room or guest room later on!

Here's a sneak of the nursery now- I am sooooooo excited!

The Scrappy Lone Star Quilt (Update)

Obviously I took a hiatus from this blog for awhile. About mid-summer, 2014 became a busy year for me and my quilting buddies. There have been new pregnancies, celebrations, heartaches, illnesses, and adoptions... just to name a few! Not to mention my own sweet toddler becoming a bit more adventurous and daring whenever she thinks I'm not watching... So while all of this was most certainly NOT happening directly to me, we had to put our little quilting sessions on hold for awhile to take care of the home fronts and had some donuts/coffee/playdatey sort of chats instead. ;) 

Here is my progress on the quilt so far... I think most of the girls are close-ish to this point. 

By the way, I (obviously) absolutely love Kate Spain's fabric! The Lone Star fabrics are from Terrain while the toddler's Easter dress was Good Fortune. Sneak! There may be another Good Fortune project coming soon.... ;) Also, an oldie but a goodie, the Central Park crazy quilt I made for a precious friend... one of the sweetest baby girls ever! There is no rhyme or reason to the fabric placement... I began this during a crazy strip quilting class at a local quilt shop in South Carolina so it was completed in a timely manner since I didn't have the opportunity to spend hours and hours working out fabric placement and then changing my mind 4-5 more times! The appliquéd giraffe was a personal touch for baby girl that I was set on doing after being inspired by a different quilt on Pinterest and being unable to obtain the original pattern (revised and out of print). Also, since her older brother's quilt was appliquéd she needed hers to be too!

Random fleece back fabric I found at Hancock Fabrics.... sure do miss that store now that we're up north!

Annnnnd since I'm pulling out the OLD stuff, here's that sweetie pie's big brother's quilt. A good one of the top (my first time appliquéing on something that wasn't just practice scraps).

Completed quilt! 

Completed Feliz ;)

Ooops! I just realized I forgot to post a picture of our finished Feliz Party Dress. It was my daughter's 2014 Easter dress. Here it is!
