After the ultra sound, I was sitting in the waiting room at the doctor's office and my mind began dreaming of all the cute projects I could do before baby comes. I began to make a list. A long list. Like the longest list I have ever made. I am proud to say that I have completed my "list" and now I am trying to keep myself busy with things like blogging! So here are some of my "projects".
The car seat sleeping bag.
I have no idea what these are really called. But a year ago someone gave this to me (only it was a nasty blue fleece). I thought it would work with a little re-do.


I am excited to try this out. At least I know she'll be warm in the middle of the winter!

The Car Seat.
The car seat needed a makeover. I should have taken a before picture. Trust me...it was bad! I looked all over online for a tutorial on how to do this. I couldn't find anything anywhere, unless I wanted to pay for it. Nope. I just kind of took the pieces apart one by one and used that as a pattern and then carefully pieced it back together. It was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. Totally changed the whole look (obviously). But it was a lot cheaper and cuter than buying a new car seat. I would definitely encourage you to try this one.

The crib bedding:
I have made bumper pads for all of my kids now. They have all been different yet mostly the same. I loved these colors.

I made a little blanket to match.
more projects to come...
