another post that's been sitting in my drafts for almost 2 weeks... my bedding!
i couldn't decide on what to pick... everything seemed so overpriced. i wasn't crazy about a "theme" i wanted more of a pattern or certain colors to go off of. so i decided to ask my mom, who sews. she had made the bedding for my sister when she was born, so it was something she's done before.
here's the pattern that we picked:
but since we don't know the sex, we aren't going to do the flowers, just regular ties for the bumpers.
and here's the fabric! its actually a quilt from target in the regular bedding section. (should have been $40 but my target had it marked wrong at $20! score!)
and thanks to my camera, the dark blue looks like royal blue. its actually more of a dark teal. we also got the sheets in solid lime, solid turquoise (the dot color, not the background) and in the stripes.
i meant to take a picture of the bedding in progress when we were at my parent's last weekend, but of course i forgot. technically, its a shower gift though, so i won't see it all finished till june.
not that i have a crib to put it on yet! we did order the furniture though! i'm sure excited! we picked it out a few weeks ago (and by "we" i mean my mom and jen. what about brandt? in a baby store? in his defense, he would have gone, he just mentioned that i would have more fun with them) so now its ordered, but its unfortunately back ordered, so 10-12 weeks to get it in. which is anytime late june to early july. so we've got the time.
its the 2000 series from cocoon
pictured is "paprika" but we ordered it in "espresso"
and we didn't get the armoire thingie either.
the furniture is a gift from brandt's wonderful grandparents! so thank you!
and that means i need to get the room emptied and painted!
