A litttle project

Well, I wanted to buy one of these car seat covers because they are so cute and actually cleverly functional... but they are expensive. So I made one!! Picked out the fabric, ribbon, buttons and made it from a pattern in my brain - and it turned out!!! so I can't resist posting it because I am proud of it.

Not bad, huh!! That's the first ruffle I have ever sewn :)

Transformation!!

A great transformation has to start with love right?? Well, I love my Chester and that he is the father of our beautiful children!! This was my Valentines Day sentiment to my Chesty!! Love you the best forever babe!!

This also marked the beginning of changing the green boys "nursery" into a not green girls "nursery". We do not intend to paint this room ever again if it can be avoided, so we went with a warm neutral color that Rulon thinks is "NOT A GIRL COLOR" because it is too close to white I guess. We actually had to prime it twice to block out the green, that was fun. Then paint it twice with the real paint to get a nice coat of color (or non-color according to Rulon).
Hmmm, whose big hand was on my belly???

I painted ALLLLLL day long, thanks to Chester being Mr. Mom with the boys.

Ok, so lets all remember the room BEFORE:

And here is the room AFTER: the pics will change once there is a new baby to take pics of, duh.

Does anyone realize how happy this makes me?!?!?!? Anyone, really? And by the way, you are looking at Linz and Ethan's baby gift to us... the room decor!! The bedding, curtains, lamp!!!!!!! Could I be any happier??? I walk in the room just to look at it several times a day now instead of keeping the door closed to avoid the reminder of work to be done.
