Finley's Blocks and Blanket

After Julie picked out her bedding, she decided pink and turquoise would be good colors for Finley's blanket and blocks.

 I love how the blocks, blanket and hat all turned out! The colors are so cute together. I hope Finley likes them. I'm so glad I finished them in time for Finley's arrival.

Completed Nursery!

YEAH!! We are finally done with the nursery, and I love how it turned out!

This is what you see as you walk in the door.

I know the chair is big, but at 2am, comfort is the most important thing.

His name blocks that I made for him.

Here is the changing table / dresser.

Just a couple of the pictures from his newborn photo shoot.

My Bible study teacher actually saw this in Marsalls and told me about it. It was the only one and only thing like it there.

Leather plaid wall hangings (see below for the story on them)

Another picture of his book shelf. I built this myself!

Inside his closet. It is getting more and more full.

And the most important thing that makes this nursery compete - A Beautiful Sleeping Baby Boy!

Happy Birthday Zoe!

I'm really late in posting this, but last Saturday night, we celebrated Zoe's 2nd Birthday. Here are some pictures from her Frog Princess birthday party. Mom made the cake. Isn't it so cute? Here is Zoe watching a movie with Elise sitting next to her.

And the only other picture I got: Charlie with his Grammie.

I made Zoe some name blocks for her birthday. I think they turned out really cute. Her name was so easy to do, since it is so short.

Happy Birthday Zoe!!

Coleman Blocks

Here are my latest name blocks I created for Julie's baby. I saw the paper at Hobby Lobby, and knew I had to make some blocks using it. I found some paint that coordinated well, and Voila! I am so excited with how they turned out. I gave them to Julie this past weekend, and she loved them.

More Name Blocks...

This past weekend, I worked on some more name blocks. I got the inspiration when I was in Hobby Lobby on Friday and was looking at the scrapbook paper. They has several different Black and Cream printed paper, and that got me thinking about how cute that would be as a background for some blocks, with some black letters. Then I went to the paint department and found some "antique black" and "buttermilk white" paint for the blocks. I had it all planned out in my head, and it came together perfectly! I am so excited about how these turned out! Right now, I have them on top of our TV cabinet, but I may move them to the mantel. I have so many more ideas, I can't wait to try them all out!
