Baby's Room!

Yes, she is still "baby."  No name.  Regardless, her room is cute!  I didn't get a very good shot of the curtains, but they're pretty cute.  I think everything came together pretty well.  What do you think??  :)

Item #1, a lamp
Aren't the rosettes cute??
I got the lamp from Ikea and embellished it with some left-over fabric from the curtains.  And speaking of curtains....
Lace at the top, ruffles at the bottom.  :)
Sorry, this pic isn't much better...
I also made a super-cute mobile/chandelier.  The idea for it came from one of the very first things I ever repinned on Pinterest, found here at Hartland Paper.


All butterflies were cut out on my Cricut..

I also made a VERY simple bed skirt to go around the crib.  Tutorial is here from Young House Love, but basically it's just three rectangles of fabric, hemmed with hem tape, and velcro'd onto the frame of the crib.  :) By the way... I LOVE the fabric!!

Isn't that the cutest fabric??


 And one or two final touches...




There are more hairbows than that, that's just all I had up at the time..
(All tutorials and inspirations can be found on my Pinterest boards!)

I made a dress for my baby!

Hooray!  I finally got to make something for my little-one-to-be!  I made it without a pattern, thought I did get some inspiration from several blogs (and Pinterest).  I made it using a onesie and a scrap of cute little pink flowered fabric.  Now.  The band around the waist is not straight and I am aware of it.  I took the seam out and sewed it again, and it is still crooked.  Also, I am going to cover the stitching around the band with some ribbon or something,  That being said, I think it's not too bad for a first try at making something completely on my own!

Please ignore the dingy onesie.
This was a trial run with one of the boys' old onesies!

A lot of onesie dresses cut off the bottom part of the onesie, but I left mine whole so that I could still snap it around her diaper.  That way it won't ride up when she wiggling around or we pick her up.  I just hemmed a rectangle of fabric, gathered it, sewed the side edges together, then sewed the skirt onto the onesie.  Then I sewed a purple tube of fabric and sewed it right over top of the ruffle (mostly to hide the raw edge of the ruffle).  I thought about doing a whole tutorial, but didn't know if anyone would be interested.  If you want more detail, let me know.  :)
