Baby Bedding!!











We decided to make our baby bedding! We aren't really "sewers." Kev has sewed me a quilt before for our anniversary one year, but I don't really know as much as I would like about sewing. There was this baby bedding that we saw online that we loved but it was about $350 and we couldn't justify it. So we thought "maybe we can just make it!" So that's what we did. Kev's mom sews quilts so she taught us how to do that and with many youtube videos...we did it!! Piping and all! We absolutely love it! Plus, we got so much extra fabric that we are going to make a throw pillow and have made ties for the curtains and some other fun things with it plus we still have leftovers...so maybe we'll think of some other stuff!! I'll show pictures of the whole room in a future post. We did the colors turquoise, lime, black and white so just in case the future has some boys in it! :) SO EXCITED FOR OUR BABY Z TO BE HERE!!! We are ready for you baby girl!!

I'm so excited for you guys! I am VERY impressed that you made all of the bedding! You are one lucky girl to have a hubby that will help out with stuff like that!

I don't know if you remember me but I am Jen's and Jessica Fisher's friend from Corona. I saw on Jess' blog that you are just about ready to have your little girl. Congrats! I am in Orange now and was wondering if I could take some pictures of your little one to put in my portfolio. It would be a free 2 hour session and you will get a CD with all of the pics. The only thing I would need is for it to be before the baby is 10 days old, for you to sign a model release form, and to find someone to help watch my 2 kidlets (maybe your mom? or you could pay for my babysitter here) Sorry, I know this is really forward of me, but I kinda sorta know you, and I really want to use my Christmas stuff again. email me if you are interested. check out my blog to see my work http://violetlufkinphotography.blogspot.com/

Aaaaaah! That is so cute! I mean "sew" cute!! Haha, get it? Get it?

No, but seriously, you guys did a beautiful job on that bedding. My poor girl doesn't have anything but a blue crib sheet handed down from her brothers. However, she does have an awesome chandelier in her room, which just happens to be painted the lighter color of turquoise in your bedding. Great minds think alike! And I have a lime green chair in her room! (Technically it doesn't actually belong in there, but whatevs.) Have you used Pinterest yet? Here is my board for Adelaide's room: http://pinterest.com/venusv/girl-nursery/

Hopefully I'll finish it someday! But you guys look READY! Good luck!
