I must be nesting...

Or Crazy...

Well, either way, I have decided that on my next post, I am going to to a little tu-tuorial for you.... Here is another hint for you...

Lots of...

plus...

and some of...

and a few of ...

And some Mother Goose, all equal my next project. And I am going to walk you through it, so you can steal some of the cuteness that will be the finished product!

Lucky You!

Today is Buddha Day!

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.

- Buddha

According to one of my favorite momma-websites, and an always interesting twitter feed, Mothering Magazine, today is Buddha Day...

Buddha in all of his good, gold, big-bellied glory

I admit I couldn't hold back replying:

Oh good! Because my pregnant belly is starting to have resemblance.

Bedding is DONE!

Spent the last hour+ cutting out bedding patterns... My hand hurts. :( I so deserve this Cadbury caramel egg for a midnight snack! Mmmmmmmm.

Yay! Bumpers, quilt, and bedskirt all cut and ready to be sewn! Maybe I will have more craft time tomorrow.... We shall see!!

Sew-splosion just about cleaned up. Quilt almost done... Bumpers done, pillows done and bedskirt done! :) yay! I'll post pics on the blog maybe tomorrow! Now if I could just find a crib to put it all on! ;)

Well ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to announce that the bedding is DONE!

::phew::

No more sew-splosions in my main room for a while. I'm done with sewing for now (or at least until my next whim hits me!)

Here is the set all finished and together! (I had to set it all up on two large tupperware boxes on my dining room table! We still have not purchased a crib for this little girl yet, and I did not want to wait until we did to show off my accomplishment! I had to be creative to show off the bedding!)

Bedskirt! (Pardon the wrinkles... I refuse to iron this yet again when its going to go in a box until or crib is set up!)

Quilt! One side of the quilt is this and the other side is the exposed frayed edges. (I admit, this part is NOT done yet, but it is going to get done this weekend while watching General Conference this weekend...)

Pillows! They are reversible... You can see in the set picture the big square one is pink and striped on one side and fuzzy cream fabric on the other. The rectangle one is this floral print on one side and cream and a big stripe in the middle on the other side.

Bumpers! The floral fabric will face inside the crib and the striped fabric will be facing the bars of the crib. I have not added the tie-ons yet because I want to line them up exactly with our crib rails to ensure a nice, snug and safe fit.
