I'm trying to get ready for baby #2 who should arrive in about 2 weeks! yay! But I've been thinking a lot about how it's going to be nursing when I have a curious 3 yr old who is my constant shadow. It was no big deal the first time around when I was home alone but this time I'm going to need a plan for privacy. I saw some nursing covers that have boning in them to allow you to be covered but still have visibility of what you are doing. I thought this would really help but they retail for $35-$38! So I found this site: http://www.prudentbaby.com/2010/01/diy-nursing-cover.html and made my own for about $7 a piece. Super simple and takes less than an hour to make one!

Baby Girl Nursery
With baby girl a month away, her nursery is all ready and waiting for her.
The crib bedding is the inspiration for everything. The walls were already pink and white so the sage, rose, and gray blue of the bedding were nice colors to blend everything together.

This is a wall tree that I found at a yard sale. It is made from a vintage door and knob and I am using it as shown here to hang bonnets, bows, and booties. They are such pretty accessories that it's nice to be able to display them.
This is a picture frame that I embellished with silk flowers, ribbon, and tulle. The idea is to clip hair bows and pictures on it for display as well as function as organization for all those tiny bows.
I was excited to be able to use these floral prints that belonged to my late grandmother. They help complete the vintage/Victorian feel that I wanted the room to have.
There pictures are Degas prints depicting ballerinas that hung in my room when I was younger.

Glitzy Sweater Pillow
I had an old white knit sweater that didn't fit any more and several broaches that I wear only occasionally. So without sewing a single stitch my shabby, not so chic bedding got a little more glamorous going from the following...
To this!
Here's how:
1) Turn the sweater inside out and use safety pins along the top to close the neck line.

3)Stuff with a pillow and keep sleeves tucked flat in the back inside of the pillow.
4)Fold over open bottom edge and pin together with glitzy broaches. When your tired of this look just unpin, no stitches to undo!

Playroom Storybook Art
My daughter's room is PINK PINK PINK so I wanted to bring in some different, brighter color to her plain beige playroom. My inspiration was display boards I saw in Pottery Barn kids. I bought 2 2x3 foot cork boards from Walmart for $8 a piece. Coordinating yards of fabric were stapled on the back to cover the boards. I took pictures from children's storybooks (Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes and my fav- The Runaway Bunny) and a calendar to use as the artwork. This artwork was cheap, quick, easy, colorful, large to make a greater impact, and I can change it around as often as I like.
