Baby Girl Room

Baby Girl's room is done! And was so much fun to decorate. I choose a bright fabric that she can enjoy for years, as a baby and toddler - even as a little girl. As seen in an earlier post, I sewed the valence and bed skirt.

I used the same fabric as background in a picture frame above the dresser/changing table.

To highlight her name, I put together colorful daisies with the letters of her name in pots.

I found a great deal on decals on eBay. And placed them in a few spots on the wall - doggy, kitty, flowers and butterflies.

Baby Girl Crib Skirt and Valence

Woo hoo! I'm finally done with this time-consuming project. I picked out a colorful fabric to use in Baby Girl's room, Michael Miller's Carnival Bloom. And wow it is very colorful - a lot of fluorescent colors in it. But it's cute. I just made a crib skirt and valence. I don't use a crib bumper. And sheets and changing pad covers I bought (light pink ones and brown ones). I made two layers of ruffles with the fabric and one layer with pink tulle. It was fairly easy to sew - just took awhile to do. I cut out the pieces. Hemmed them. Sewed the two rows of long stitches, then pulled the gathers together, then sewed onto a back piece of muslin. (Now onto Colter's jelly roll rag quilt for twin xl bed. Well, at least sometime in the future :-)

Nursing Cover #2

Another nursing cover... I still have mine, this one went to my friend who is due to have a baby shortly after me. Such an easy project. Just cut some fabric, hem, make the neck piece, and add a little terry cloth pocket to the corner for wiping and holding stuff like breast pads. Hope my friend likes it!

Below is the one I made for myself before I had Colter two years ago. Still have it so I should be able to us it with baby girl.
