This week should be my last ridiculously crazy week/weekend until D-day {Delivery Day}...

Alysha's baby shower is on Saturday :). I have had SOOO much fun planning a girly little party and I can't wait to officially post about it. Until then you only get to view sneak peeks since I'm trying very hard to make it as big of a surprise as possible for my sister. 

Yay!! It's going to be super girly and cutesy for sure but Miss Marley is totally worth it. I have a few other decorations and activities planned as well as a super adorable cake up my sleeve!! I'm super duper thankful for Ashley, Crystin and Jessica's help with my projects... Sisters and best friends, what would a girl do without 'em?

As if I'm not already crazy enough, I've been crafting and sewing up a storm. I made a few wonderful things for Abby and Alysha but my most favorite projects have been for my Littlest Mister!!

It all started with the little pillow for the rocking chair:

I've made pillows before but I tried to get all "fancy" and make it like the pillow shams from our bedding set. 

The only problem is the fact that I didn't account for the "displacement" (not sure what the technical term is) that the pillow would cause... so instead of the fabric overlapping, it gapes a little. I'm not worried about it, its in the back! 

So then I tackled what I thought was going to be my most complicated project to date. 

See that ^? Yeah, that up there ^!! That's a gray and white striped crib sheet... I MADE THAT. In fact, I made two!!! It was beyond, BEYOND easy. I followed this tutorial and didn't have a problem. 

Unfortunately, it wasn't until after I started my next project that I finally asked for help with my sewing machine settings. It was all sorts of wacky and it was causing all of the issues that I had been/was having with sewing.

Regardless, I followed this tutorial to make a crib skirt. I made it into 3 separate panels for a few reasons; 1- I would have had to piece my fabric together and because of the pattern it would have been a pain in the butt 2- The location of the hooks that adjust the mattress height are in a weird location 3- This way was just easier for me J. I’m very happy with the way that it turned out. I found a gray and white checkered cotton fabric at Joann's the other day and I think that I want to make 1 or 2 sheets out of it as well.

Please excuse the toys under the crib... Jackson has been playing in Cooper's room :)

Soo cute! I'm going to take the two shades of blue/teal and possibly the orange to make curtains with... If I decide to make them.

I think that I am going to figure out what I need and how to make curtains next… wall art is needed as well, but I’m going to need some funky tools to help me accomplish one of the décor projects. 

Can't wait to have my Littlest Mister here!!!
