I have been in major nest zone and dying to make. Last week I added to my etsy shop including 3 new checkbook covers. On the baby front I washed all of his teeny new clothes. This weekend was my first without plans since I've been back and I wanted to spend time working on my baby project list.
I mentioned on my list that I got to decorate this cradle (I previously referred to it as a bassinet) and I've been so anxious to get to it!! My papa made this for my uncle over 36 years ago and I was the 2nd in a long line of cousins to use it. Usually my grandma decorates it but she wanted me to decorate it in my own style. I couldn't be more thrilled to oblige. It came to me completely white and the first thing I did after touching up a few spots was to go pick out fabric for the mattress pad. I wanted to choose the fabric first so I would know how to paint it and it what colors. I chose this adorable animal print initially. I must really be into these colors right now because I had just picked up paint in the right colors only about a week before! I spent most of yesterday painting the end of the cradle with plans to paint a [relative] copy on the other end.

My mom suggested that I write his name on the inside of the headboard which I've just done today. There are still a few finishing touches I want to make on it and then I'll be sure to share the final result! With scrap fabric today I made a matching lovey (it's super cute!). It just needs the binding which I have yet to purchase. I'm loving the way everything has turned out so far! ♥
