FINALLY DONE. LOVE IT!

shes been asleep for a while. shes OUT!

i put this fuzzy blanket under her for a little extra padding. i need to get a mattress quilted cover pad thing, andrews mattress has one, but i haven't gotten one for her. so i have 2 sheets on her mattress, but i think she appreciates a little something extra, don't you?

So its really late, and i have a book party to do in the morning, at 11, and a spinach artichoke dip to make for that tomorrow, and a house to clean, and i need sleep, but i have been working on this like all day, starting with getting all the supplies, borrowing jens sewing machine (THANK YOU JEN!) and getting the fabric, then getting it sewn together. i love it. i love the print. i have a nursing cover that matches it, and i plan to make a diaper stacker to match. and to get a pink dust ruffle. WHEW! so enjoy these pics! just wanted to post that I AM DONE! i think. i might do a seam in the middle of the long peices, but i dont know. we'll see. im going to finish cleaning up now and head to bed! i am definitely a person who once i start something can't stop until its done. so it feels good to be done with this! i was so excited to get this done, and now im so excited to have it done. oh by the way. they are 4 separate peices , one for each side of the crib. i was going to make it all one long piece like a regular bumper, but i used NuFoam, instead of batting, so i had to slip that in after i sewed the pieces, and if i sewed it all together i couldnt have put them foam in. and i put pink ties. i was going to add pink pipping, so that it had a pink pipping along the top of the bumper, i made the pipping, by covering rope with pink fabric, and then sewing it in, but when i sewed the bumper together i forgot to include it, and didnt have the energy to go back. but i think it turned out well anyways. i even basically made my own pattern. i was pretty proud of myself for having it work out...
