The Crazy Nester...

So, it's becoming pretty apparent that I am enjoying this whole "nesting" phase thing. Ever since we broke down and bought our crib, I have been exploding with projects! Brian thinks I'm going a little crazy on him, but I absolutely love how I feel. I have so much energy and a drive to get so much done. Take Monday for example... I dropped Brian off at work by 8am and then headed to Walmart where I picked out a curtain rod and some brown bed sheets. I went straight home, unstitched the edge of two sheets to change them into curtains, ironed them, installed the curtain rod above our bedroom window, and hung the curtains. I haven't hemmed them yet because I wanted Brian's input and he didn't exactly know that I was doing any of this. (SURPRISE!?!)

My morning didn't stop there though. Before I headed to work I managed a stop at the fabric store to buy the rest of my supplies for my first quilt. I took some fabric from my mom's cupboard over the weekend and decided I could make a cute quilt out of some of it. Hopefully it will turned out as cute as I imagined. Last night I ironed the pieced and sew the backing pieces and the top pieces together and then laid them out with the batting between. I also purchased some curved safety pins yesterday (another trip to the fabric store) so I will be able to baste this so I can get it on the machine to do some stitching in the ditch (there's a first time for everything right? wish me luck!!!). Here's the top so far.

On Monday night we also added a new baby item to our list: the travel system! We got the Chicco Cortina Travel System. It includes our car seat, base, and stroller. Brian was such a proud daddy and put the whole stroller together when we brought it home.

{just look at that smile!}

While he was piecing that together, I saw our new purchase as an opportunity to make a car seat canopy! I've been waiting for that project until I could measure the handles for strap placement, but I think it turned out cute. Thoughts?

So am I going as crazy as Brian says I am? Did I mention I have onesies ready to have applique added to them? Hmmm... yup, this nesting business is for real!
