I got ma hairs did!

For the first time in a year I got my hairs did!
I had at least 6 inches cut off of the longest layer! I should have taken a before picture but with my Baby Brain I didn't think about it...

I'm going to try to wrangle Mr Woo into taking some bump photos! I'm 25 weeks along tomorrow!
Seriously, this is flying!

In other news I got some cotton quilt batting today and I have cut out quite a few squares out of vintage fabrics! Squeeeee! 

Just one step closer to piecing together Baby Woo's quilt! It's scary as I've never done it before but I'm excited! 

Baby Woo's Room

Here's the finished design board that Courtney made for me! 

I sent her photos of bits I've picked out and she put it all together! 

So what do ya think? x

I'm a chicken.

There. I've said it. I'm being a chicken. I've got this "thing". I don't think anything I make is good enough for me to keep. If someone else likes it that's great! But why would I want to make something for myself? Cause I know where I've messed it up and stuff. 

Well. I need to get over it. I knew if I told you I'd be accountable to doing something about it! My friend Courtney has really inspired me in nursery design. You've gotta see her design board for her little girl's room, it's sooo unique and welcoming! I mean, if you read my last post you know I can't actually set anything up yet but surely it can't hurt to make a few things in preparation right?! 

I just remembered I have done something! I made a poster didn't I?! Do you remember? 

I'd better send that away for printing! 

Here's a photo of my crib {in it's previous home}

It used to belong to two little boys! It needs girlifying now! Bring on the pink!

I need at least one wall letter initial 

I do have lots of ideas...I just don't have the confidence to carry things out. But I want to push myself.

I want to make a beautiful valance (aka dust ruffle/skirt), because I will need a custom one now that I look at the photo of the crib, I want mine to go to the floor.

I wanted a woodland theme but I'm not quite sure how to work that in and still having a room fitting for a little girl. I'm leaning more towards vintage now. Vintage fabrics. Can I be eclectic without the room looking a mess? 

I LOVE this one:

I think Courtney showed me this nursery now that  I think of it! I've also had it pinned in my Pinterest  baby board for a while! They've done 3 valances...Hmmm....I like it! 

Love that dresser/changing table!

what beautiful wallpaper! and I LOVE the toadstool seat!!! 

these are so cool!!!!

SO I think my first project to get over my chicken liver will be the valance for the crib. I want a ruffley one not a really tailored one. I think I'll do a few layers maybe? I guess I'll have to see what fabrics I find {in my stash!}. This tutorial looks pretty good and this one is great for measuring.

just LURVE that dust ruffle! 

I'm up for any tips you might have about how to make stuff for the nursery. Any ideas are also welcome! Here we go! 

6 months!

It is nearly impossible for me to believe that I am entering my 24th week of pregnancy. 6 months! 

I'm 6 months pregnant! 

This half a year has flown by. And I imagine that the next few months will be here and gone in a flash, before long our precious Baby Woo will be in our arms! January 18th is sooo soon! I'd better not blink!

We may move house, so I haven't set up the nursery. To be honest I don't even know how to set up a nursery! I've picked out the crib bumper & that's all so far. I do love this nursery idea:

I love this nursery but I'd use greens and pinks I think! 

I feel like there is still so much to get done and the time is going by so quickly I'm beginning to think I won't get it done! Silly things like shampooing the carpets and removing all the cob webs and actually setting up the nursery so that Baby Woo actually has some place to sleep in her beautiful sleigh crib{it was given to us by a friend & it's stunning!}! 

I signed up for my birth and parenthood class this morning though! Mr Woo wants to be there so we've signed up for a Saturday all day class at the hospital. 

Baby Woo is growing quickly, she's already around1 1/2lbs & nearly 1 foot long!!! My bump is starting to show and I'm beginning to feel uncomfortable especially when I'm tired. 

I'm craving lots of sleep and meat! Gimme a roast beef with a side of roast chicken. MmHmmm! 

So, 24 weeks, 6 months, however you like to count it we're well on our way!
