We have 3 months left until our baby girl comes! It is really fun getting things ready for her arrival. I decided I would try to make her bedding so she would have something special from her mommy. I looked all over the internet for ideas and colors that I liked for her room. I didn't want anything with too much pink but I wanted fun bright colors and, for some reason I am obsessed with little birdies right now so I wanted little birds on the bedding too. Well, amazingly, I found a crib bedding from Pottery Barn that I fell in love with! After shipping and taxes, it would have cost about $250 and I knew I could make it for much cheaper and use the money I saved on a new comfy rocker or something. Here is a pic of what I wanted:
and this is the one I made:
It started out like this:
I copied the Pottery barn quilt as best I could. I still have to make the bumper and I think I will buy the fitted sheet and a crib skirt to go with it. These little birdies on the branches took the longest! It is not exactly how I hoped it would turn out, but I think it's still pretty cute!
There is still a lot of work to do before she gets here. Right now, Logan is in the nursery, but he and Noah will soon have bunk beds and share Noah's room so I can girlify the nursery! As soon as it is done, I will share pics of the big reveal.
