Little Friends and Things

So after making Koko for Bea, I decided to make a little friend for the boy, too. His is a rattle and it matches their room pretty well:

James named him Jasper and said, "You could have been my son." -because Jasper was one of our top names. 

I also made him a mushroom crinkly toy:

Then I made more mushrooms just for the fun of it.

I love crinkly baby toys! I'm not sure what I'll do with these, though. Etsy? Give to a friend with a baby girl? Hmmm.

New Items!

I added some sweet little bird books to my etsy shop today.....

One Month Left

I haven't posted very much about this pregnancy. It's about to wrap up though- the delivery is scheduled for October 7 which is only 30 days away! And the shower is even sooner, September 18th! Excited!

Okay, so I packed his little suitcase and picked out his coming home outfit:

You like? He has three more outfits to wear during the hospital stay and some cozy blankets.

Nursery Tour

So you've seen the progression from Girl Baby Room to A Boy Is Coming. Now I've taken it a step further. We've brought in the Big Girl Bed. The whole room had to be rearranged and I can't thank Beatrice's daddy or my own enough for all the work they've put into this!

Beatrice on her new bed, the bed I was born on.

A verse that Mama cross-stitched for me when I was afraid of the dark hangs over Bea's pillow.

Lots of special things for Beatrice not to touch.

Yeah, she likes it.

Mama had this lamp in her room as a child. For those of you who watch Mad Men, you might have noticed a similar one in Sally Draper's room.

So, obviously this is where the most work still needs to be done. He needs a quilt, boy sheets, a boy crib skirt, etc. Relax- I still have a little over four weeks!

Beatrice can't get through a day without these.

The closet side.

I know I can't, but I want to anyway...

 And some sake, okay?
