Nesting

So there has been some serious nesting going on around here. I think I am driving Jamie a little crazy, but just can't help myself. I guess I know time will be in short supply once Baby E gets here, so I want to get everything done now. And this is just a smattering. The list is huge! I think I may need to re-evaluate it a little. laugh.
New curtains, yes the border is leftover from the quilt. That damn quilt, and my love for that fabric. I blame all this nesting and redo-ing on it. I just want to wrap the room in pretty, girly, fun fabric.
A new bookshelf for Audra's books. I will eventually make another one for the other side of the room. Audra has enough books that she could fill a few of these. And such fun fabric. 
New alphabet posters. I painted the frames. Can't wait to hang them up. The pictures are so cute and I fell in love with them. Jamie used his magic and made them all fit onto two posters. 
Going through totes of clothes and pulling out all the baby stuff. Crazy to think Audra didn't fit into because she was so small, and I look at now, and think how was she ever that small? laugh.
 And when two girls have to share a dresser, you need to upgrade that dresser. Jamie and I got new dressers for our room so my old one, got a face lift.
The two frames, and all the dresser knobs got a fresh coat of pink paint. I will have to take a picture of the finished product. It looks great and girly. 
 And with some more leftover scraps, I made another pillow to match the other one and the quilt. I still have a jelly roll of the same fabric that I am going to make into a quilt for Audra. I will need to add to it to make it fit the twin size bed. So will need to look for some cute fabric to add to it.
I wanted to make a ruffle bed skirt for the crib and Audra's bed. I also wanted to recover the bumper pad, which I think could be do-able. The peeling of Winnie the Pooh border, may not happen. We'll see. I have been sick with this awful cold, turned sinus infection, that I finally got antibiotics for, so we'll see what I can accomplish when I get better. Yes, I know, neither girl will notice or care, but this momma just can't help it.
