my friend was done using her crib and change table, so of course i jumped at the idea of giving them new life. for some reason i have never had a change table. go figure... on the fifth child i get one.

i don't think i will end up using the crib but the change table got a light sanding and some antique white spray paint. i might eventually give it a light sand on the edges but for now it looks great the way it is.

BEFORE (sorry, i forgot to take a pic of the change table so you get a pic of the crib. but you get the idea ; )

AFTER
this is going to come in handy.

the perfect equation

SLEEPING BABY+ HAPPY TODDLER

= A LITTLE BIT OF SEWING!

it takes time to get use to newborn routines again.

yesterday, we were all ready to go to the post office, i went to put john in the car seat and as soon as i did "SURPRISE"! so i changed his diaper, got the boys in the car, drove to the post office, looked around for the package i was going to send... NO package. i guess that's what happens when your functioning on little sleep.

i decided if you want to get anywhere on-time with a new born around, you have to plan to leave 30 minutes early.

15 minutes for baby and 15 minutes for mom ; )

a sling first.

i haven't had a sling with any of my other children, i guess i didn't know they were out there. so when i got pregnant this time around i knew i had to get me one. i found a GREAT shop on etsy that carries a beautiful selection and if she doesn't have the fabrics your looking for she'll make you a custom sling!

go check out Tara's shop at:

polkadot papoose

you won't be disappointed!

the babys quilt

SO,

i decided that it is impossible for me to name a baby before it has arrived. i know some people can do it and it works out well, i can't.

i CAN, however make a quilt before i meet him : ) it was really fun to design but the quilting that i ended up doing was not so much. it took me WAY to long because of all the starting and stopping. i really like the way it turned out though and the minky on the back just adds to the soft and warm feel of it.

hope he likes it!

xo sandra

p.s. i'm going in (to the Dr.) tomorrow to see if everything is a go. we'll see...

p.p.s. not this week... maybe next week!
