Projects and Improvements

So there have been a couple of sewing projects that I have worked on for the baby and her room that I wanted to share.  One was a car seat cover that was a little more girly than the very cute one I was given for Drew.

The buttons coordinate better with the top fabric than these pictures show.

The next project was new curtains in the baby's room.  What was there when we moved in, was a very bold Coca Cola valence. Not really my style. :)  Anyway, I found this tutorial on Pinterest for these ruffly curtains made from sheets.  Well, I've never sewn anything like this before and I would say that her tutorial was not that great.  Luckily, my mom is way more talented at sewing and I was able to get her help.  They look fine from a distance and in the picture but they are definitely NOT perfect.  I'm going to get some ribbons for ties for when we want some light in there.

As far as improvements go...we didn't have much for decoration in Drew's room and with renting, one is always restricted a little more.  Well, ROSS was our place to go to find what we wanted.  We spotted these vinyl stickers and the artwork that coordinated!  We were so excited for this find and the price!   The pictures don't do it justice really, but it looks fun and cute in in there now.  Drew likes when we count the numbers and at night some of the stickers glow in the dark!!  Now how can that get any more fun? 

This really isn't it for the projects that we have or that I would like to get done before the baby comes (in 5 weeks ish) but who knows if we'll really get them done.  There is still a lot of organizing that I would like to get done.  I guess the nesting is kicking in.
