hot air balloon baby mobile

I've always loved hot air balloons. I've never rode in one, and probably never will (I'm skeered of heights) but they are just so darn adorable. I love the ones with different colored panels...it's the quilter in me I guess! I drew my inspiration from a few I found on Etsy and had to make my own for the new nursery decor.

Butterflies are in the air

One of the crafty things I've had going for awhile is this cute butterfly mobile.

Nursery…ooooooh

Strap yourselves in! Here's a tour of the (almost) finished nursery! I say almost cause we still don't have blinds, or a glider (which is going in that empty corner), or both closet doors. Pretty close still! From the door shot. Her crib and birdie art! (and blanket that the wall color was based on) Her cute hide and go seek art that I found way … [Read more...]
