the baby room is pretty much ready, so i thought i’d show off a few pictures. we left the queen size bed in there in case we have an abundance of guests sometime and because i learned the first time that having a bed in the same room as the baby can sometimes come in… handy.
i’m especially fond of these “clouds” created after i 1) found a big batch of embroidery hoops at the dig-n-save, 2) was inspired by this beautiful nursery and 3) had a “ladies craft night” at my house where friends generously created these works of art for me to display. 
there’s sort of a cloud “theme” going on in the room, so i also made this mobile:
the art on this wall is a combination of etsy artists and my own work (done in my ‘craft lab’ program at the library)
i also screen printed the curtain for the closet at work. we got a new screen printing kit and, of course, i needed to learn how to use it, so i sketched out this design, burned the screen and the printed it onto a grey bedsheet. i really love how it turned out!
and here’s a cute pillow i made:
of course, there’s still one or two things i’d like to add to the room eventually, but it’s feeling fairly finished at this point and i’m so pleased with how it’s turned out! i hope new baby likes it too…
