Dalton's Room

We've been working on getting everything ready for baby Dalton's arrival. I've been doing a lot of sewing the past month! It's funny because until I did Addie's quilt, I had really never sewed at all. I've come to really enjoy it, at least the simple stuff that I've done. I still wouldn't attempt anything with a pattern anytime soon :)

Jed and our friend Jordan painted one of the walls a soft blue and I love how it turned out.

I mod-podged fabric to some wooden letters for his name above his crib.

His crib quilt i made

I fell in love with this argyle fabric from Hobby Lobby. I liked the colors and the patterns.

His quilt took much less time than Addie's did since it was so much smaller. I actually did ALL the sewing and hand stitching on it by myself :) Dawn finished the edges for me though, because she's cool like that.

 I wanted his room to be simple, cute and clean looking

We got a new crib after ours was recalled. I was fine with it because I preferred brown over white for a boy's room, especially with the fabrics I used.

My mom made some covers for my rocking chair and I think it turned out great! Thanks mom!

I made a pillow :) I've never made one before, and I just winged it, but it was actually very easy.

It definitely adds some comfort and back support for me in my rocker.

 I also made a Valance....also a first for me. 

Yes this whole room was basically me playing with a sewing machine trying to see what I could do myself.

I made the bed skirt too, which looks just like the valance.

Here's some close ups of the quilt. It's kind of hard to see the hand stitching that I did on it, but I followed the white lines of the argyle. It makes the pattern pop a little more and I like how it turned out. I didn't want to have stitches running across the pattern of the fabric. 

I still need to find a few things for the walls and a lamp and a couple of little things, but other than that we're done! Can't wait for him to get here and snuggle him in the other cozy blanket I made him :)
