Projects Galore Part 2

I think that I mentioned prior to this that my "nesting" has come in the form of creative projects for the nursery. I see something that I like after scouring the internet and I walk about with a cute idea that I can do myself--one, because it is cheaper and two, I can customize it that way I want it. This has happened with quite a few things, so lets look at a few of the projects I am currently working on:

This was the beginning. I had seen a mobile that I really liked and thought, "Wouldn't that be cool if I could find that with alligators?" However, finding anything with cute little alligators is next to impossible (if you do happen to find things, let me know!). So...me being me, I decided to make it happen.

This was step two. I took colored ribbon and made the hoop part of the mobile. My dear friend Gina cut out alligators and circles for the actual hanging part. Another dear friend, Kat, helped me understand fishing line and know which to buy to construct this thing. Me + Fish = Yeah Right.

While this is not the best picture of the final product, it is enough to give you an idea of what I did here. I will post another picture once I have it hanging above the crib. The crib...right....about that...

Here it is!! Our great friends Adam and Amanda brought the furniture over last night and we immediately put the crib and bedding together. We have really amazing friends who have all contributed in some way to this baby's room and have provided much support. Thank you to you all and YOU KNOW who you are.

The next project includes a series of wall art that I did the layout work on. I plan to have them printed and framed to go above the crib (unless I change my mind and put it elsewhere). I did see these elsewhere and I did rip the idea, but I did the design and colors that I wanted. Please note: the information used on the "birth announcement" is purely fictitious and serves only as placeholders. Please do not think that we have settled on a name (though this is a contender).

I think that brings us to the end of my "projects" for now. So you may be asking "What does Vlad think of all this?" Well, he pretty much lets me do my thing. He provides input when asked (sometimes even without being asked) and I take that into consideration as well. If he didn't like something he would let me know. He is vocal enough.

Tomorrow is the baby shower for little man. I am very excited about it and more than anything I am looking forward to seeing friends that I have not seen in a while due to life getting in the way. I will definitely have more to post after that. Until then....after while crocodile.
