WIP It Wednesday

[gratefulgirl]

AW up something you're working on: nursery decor, baby blankets or outfits, big kid room stuff, even house cleaning.

Before & after of LO's changing table/dresser. This was actually MY changing table when I was a baby, and was also used for both of my little sisters and a bunch of my cousins. We're in a one bedroom apartment, so baby will just have one half of our bedroom and we weren't sure we had enough room for a changing table, but I'm so happy we made it work. Behind it is the pegboard that I'm still working on that will hold some diapers and other supplies within easy reach. I like how it looks so far, but I want to decorate it in some way.

Countertops are going in!!!

That's all I've got lol

hummingbird125, that looks awesome! I really wanted to do the pegboard idea but H is a frigen nutcase about not drilling holes in walls so he won't let me.

hummingbird125 That looks so great!

hummingbird125 What a great makeover! It would never occur to me to do that; I really admire people who have that creative eye!

Do we have the same H?

[hummingbird125]

spicysalmonroll, gratefulgirl, - That sucks that your silly H's don't want you to drill. I've always loved how the pegboards I see on Pinterest look, and with our lack of horizontal space, we really need to make use of vertical space as much as possible!

dorkusmalorkus, - Thank you! Anything I saw new was more $ than we wanted to spend, or not the right size, so I started looking on Craigslist for a while before remembering that my mom still had this in her "junk room", and the measurements were perfect. In our bedroom, we painted the wall behind where our bed and the crib are, but left the opposite wall white, so I just used the leftover paint from that wall to paint the dresser - so it matches!

We are mostly unpacked and settled into the new house.

I made a few little leg warmer things:


I just have to finish up the sleeves on this sweater:


And the baby blanket I am working on:

I will probably curse myself for choosing this pattern when I am sewing in so many ends.

I have a few sewing projects I wanted to do, but my motivation has been so low, I don't think I'll end up getting to them.

I'm working on projects for DHs 30th bday party this weekend. After that will be all about baby!

[hummingbird125]

pttomato, - OMG the leg warmers! So adorable!

[frodabaggins]

pttomato, you are seriously talented!

[gratefulgirl]

I actually do have something to AW. I did most of DD3's sweater on Tuesday at the hospital waiting for DH. Just have to add a ruffle on the cap sleeves and bottom, sew on buttons, and weave in the ends.

This is me too. I can't sew or knit, but my MIL sews so she is making me personalized burp cloths and anything else I ask her to make, so it kind of works out for me!

I can't knit either, I crochet. So much easier!

Oh I tried that too, my fingers just don't work that way! Lol!

I would much rather paint or draw.
