Another Finish and a Baby Shower!

With only three weeks left in the pregnancy, we finally pulled the nursery together. I really love how it turned out and I'm so grateful for a helpful husband who was willing to take his 'day off' from writing school essays to put this together with me. :)

Brian stained the pieces of wood to match the crib (and the changer that will arrive next week!) and then we attached the ribbon and letters. It's strange to have her name on the wall. It makes this so much more real, which I probably need at this point, haha.

The little shelf by the door with some added wall decals. :)

We got it all put together just in time for a baby shower at our apartment. Two of my best friends, Crystal Howarth and Sherstin Pearce threw the shower for me and we had such a great time! Thank you girls for everything. You are wonderful!

I don't have all the pictures from their cameras yet, but I will be sure to show more pictures when I can.

Finished!

This past weekend we headed up to Farmington to watch conference at my parents'. We had a great time visiting with them and everyone else who came and really enjoyed listening to the wonderful speakers. I took initiative to finally get my LOVE quilt bound! YAY! An actual finished product? I know this was just my learning quilt, but I have to admit that I am pretty proud that I now know how to do binding. I spent three of the sessions hand stitching it on and I think it turned out pretty good for a first-timer.

{such pretty colors!}

{and another picture to show the backing... did I mention I love this?}

We had a great weekend and of course, I couldn't come home without more projects from my mom's stash. :) Hopefully I can get to them between editing Brian's application essays and before the baby decides it's time to come.
