What a weekend!

We decided it was time to go ahead and put things together in the nursery. We were fortunate that most things we had or were given to us and the only thing we had to purchase was the changing table...well ...and all the fun stuff.

 These are the super easy wall hangers I made. See from my last post, it really wasn't all that hard


Who knew how much fun it would be to put all this stuff together and get creative

 So, as I mentioned the only thing we had to order was the changing table. I ordered one to match the furniture and they sent us this one- the wrong one, a dark Espresso color. No worries, I called the company and they actually refunded my money and said its up to the manufacturer to pick it back up- so in other words we may end up with a FREE changing table... wrong color and all..lol

That little rocker in the corner was mine when I was young. My GiGi gave it to me! We figure if we get to keep the free changing table we will just get a rocker in that color to TRY to pull it all together. If you know me, you know its really hard for this stuff not to match, but free is free and life goes on.. :)

 So, this room was the "man cave" and being the Star Wars fan that he is, the hubby didn't want to get rid of his poster- so we moved it to the corner. Gotta love em'!

 Here is the little blanket I personalized. What can I say- I have a sewing business!

 And these by far are my most favorite part of the room- the pillows I made. They were so quick and simple. I'm sure with practice they could be done without sewing and just using iron on adhesive (that's something to try another day); however, for these it was just a few quick stitches and there you have it.

Staying encouraged all along our Anderson Adventure!

  1. I have been a little backed up in reading blogs with everything going on around here but I am soooo excited to hear about your adoption. Adoption has always had a very place in my heart. I know you are going to be such a wonderful mommy. Know that Jared and I are keeping you in our prayers. We really are very excited for you!
