There's a part of me that thinks I could really get into sewing (although I realize it's probably the wishful, delusional part!). Maybe when I have fewer urgent things in my life? Anyway, a couple of months ago I learned that sewing with your mom and sister is definitely a blast....especially when you're making adorable baby bedding for your first baby boy!
This was SUCH a process. Amy found this pattern on pinterest, and I immediately fell in love with it. Amy decided to be a studly sister and met me in Des Moines to help pick out the fabric...and 6 fabric stores later, we had what we needed! I actually had a moment of panic as I looked at all the crazy fabrics right next to each other - "Will this look ridiculous?!" I shouldn't have worried, 'cause it turned out AWESOME!
While there are still a few finishing touches that need to be put on the nursery, this was definitely the first step to getting it all decorated and feeling baby-ready! And I personally like ours way better than the original. :) Thanks mom and Amy, you guys are the best!

LOVE this- how cute!! Can I sleep here when I come, in a few days?!? Can't wait to see you!!!
I remember those precious days of trying to imagine a little babe in the crib with the blankets and sheets. You did such an awesome job Nic + family! Can't wait for the little man to be there enjoying them and christening them with his burp-up! ;)
