Projects!

OK! I've been working on projects for the baby's room over the last couple of months and finally have a few of them finished! They'll probably look better as a whole when you see the baby room completely finished, which will hopefully happen in the next month or so. For now, just consider them previews!

This is a lamp I made and I think it turned out pretty cute! I found the base at Ross for $5 as well as the white shade. I just added the beads, ribbon, and flower!


This is one of three shelves that we're hanging up. We just painted some unfinished shelves from Michael's that we bought for $5 a piece and then I mod podged scrapbook paper on the outside and inside panels. Polka dots inside and the cute pink and green stripes on the outside. I glued the same ribbon from the lamp around the top edge of the shelf too.


This is the baby train! I think it turned out really cute. It'll go on one of the finished shelves once we get them all hung up.


Finally, we found this cute vinyl saying a month or so ago and finally put it up. We thought it was super cute because obviously our little girl will be quite the princess!

So, that's it for now, but I'll have some more in the next little while. Everything seems really PINK! We like it though and think the room is going to be SUPER cute! My mom is making a quilt and skirt for the crib, and I may attempt to make some matching curtains for the window. (What you see with the vinyl saying was a cute valance I bought, but we decided to make one on our own that matches the crib quilt AND was cheaper!) We'll post pics of those when they're done! :)

Can't wait for PEACHES!

So this past week we've been working in the yard and trying to get it primed for summer 09. We've done a lot of work and still seem to have a long list to go before we're through. One of the things on our list is to finish pruning all of our fruit trees. For those that don't know, we have an apricot, cherry, plum, peach, and 2 pear trees. Our favorite is definitely the peach tree, followed closely by the pear trees. The fruit is SOOOO good! Anyway, since we love our peaches so much, that's the only tree we've pruned so far. We thought it was funny once it was finished because by the time it was done, there was more tree on the ground than actually left on the tree. So we took some pictures for everyone to see!. Now we're hoping we get some big juicy peaches later this summer. I say every year that I just want peaches and vanilla ice cream for dinner every night for a week. Last year we only had 3 peaches and the birds ended up eating 2 of them so that plan didn't really work out. But this year looks WAY more promising and TONS of little peaches are already growing! Hooray!

Baby Belly at 22 Weeks

Ooops! Has it really been a month since I've done a post! Sorry about that, I guess I've been busy with projects. Anyway, here is another picture—I'll try to keep posting them every few weeks. I'm actually 23 weeks now, but I was a week behind in putting this one up. Sorry!

And, something for you all to look forward too (maybe), pictures of all my projects! I've been making tons of things for the baby's room. I'll post again soon so you can see what I've done so far!

(P.S. Don't make fun of my face in this pic! I look totally weird!!! Next one will be WAY cuter!)
