More Handmade

Well, I can't seem to stop myself. I keep nesting. I think I'm making my husband crazy. The latest additions are "peepee teepees" and a set of cloth blocks. (Peepee teepees are just what you think they are... little tents to prevent little spray accidents during changing time.) And neither of these creations can I claim absolute credit for. I just saw something similar at baby boutiques and didn't want to spend an arm and a leg for them (also, Tim told me no and that they weren't in the budget...). So I just made my own. I think they turned out close to what I wanted.

I'm also including a picture of the chair corner of the nursery, now that we finally have a little table. I can't even begin to tell you how we searched and searched for the perfect little table for this corner. We almost gave up hope. All the tables we found were either too big or not tall enough (or WAY out of our price range). We finally found this one at an unfinished furniture place. It's actually supposed to be a telephone stand. It matches the crib perfectly, with cool slats on the side (just take my word for it) and Tim did an incredible job painting it and sanding it down. It is also the perfect spot for the really tall picture books that don't quite fit right in the little bookshelf. I'm really happy with it. (Thanks Ma & Pops Bomgardner for providing the funding for this great little table!!!)

And on the top of the table is the cool lamp from Target that kind of matched in its original state, but now matches perfectly. I had to change the lamp shade binding on the edges from brick red to baby blue. Just right. (And the little brown crochet blanket on the chair there is one that my hubby had as a wee boy!) This kid has the best room in the house, now!
