Spring Break 2009

I love Spring Break!
Andrew and I are working on the nursery... finally! We have been putting it off till the last minute hoping to sell our house, but that's not happening. So, now we are working hard to get everything ready so we can finally enjoy it before a baby comes to live in it. Andrew painted the room Robin's Egg Blue and gave the trim a fresh coat of white to make it look clean and new again. A lady I work with made the bedding for Andi Mae's crib. She finished it and brought it over today and it is BEAUTIFUL! (If my digital camera wasn't broken I'd post a picture:( ) Janice is so talented and it turned out better than I had pictured in my head, which is awesome because sometimes my mind's eye creates things that are very hard to translate into reality. We have a round crib which is very unusual. So, the bedding had to be unique, just like our daughter. I can already tell that the crib quilt is going to be an heirloom I keep forever. Fitted crib sheets are hard to find for a round crib. You can't just go to the store and buy them. So, I did some searching online today to find just the right one. Well, I did, but it was $27, which wasn't bad, but then the shipping was $20. So, I didn't get it. I ended up finding one at jcpenney.com that was $20 and the shipping was $11. I bit the bullet and did it. I mean, we have to have sheets right? I ordered a changing table today from target.com. So, in all, I think I spend more money at home when I am out of school than if I was consuming my time with working. Work is good for me, but I love Spring Break so much!

Andrew is out in the garage right now working on project number 2... Andi Mae's clothes armoire. I tend to convert closets into creative cubby spaces, so her closet is not being used for hanging up clothes like traditional closets are used for. Which then forced a new creative piece of furniture for her clothes. But, I love the unorthodox way we do things sometimes.

So, we are making some progress now. It's about time!
