Tish and I have been very busy this weekend. We have been working on the crib set and decorations for our new baby. We have been buying a few items each payday to create our own custom designed baby room. This week-end, we finally had enough stuff to get the job started. We designed and created all of the items for the crib and wall hangings. Tish picked out the jungle theme, told me what she wanted and while I sewed, she painted glued and created her own items to add to the room. The wall hanging is a pre-quilted panel with the "Jungle Babies" theme. We attached it to a canvas and Tish added her own special touches to make it one of a kind. The blanket on the bed is a "no-sew" flannel blanket, again created by Tish. It is sooo... soft and warm, I know the baby will love snuggling with it when we bring "her?" home. The crib quilt was created by both of us. Tish measured and cut out the squares, while I sewed them together. We added some bright colors and polka dots for interest. The bumper pads are a larger version print of the same "Jungle Babies" theme. The ribbons are a wide green polka dot. The three small animal plaques, hand-painted and decorated with animal print bows, were created by Tish. We have been hunting down and collecting the stuffed baby animals to finish off the whole theme.
Next week, we will make the crib skirt, a quilted cover and some bumper pads for the changing table, and we bought some small wicker baskets to organize baby clothes, blankets, etc. We are going to line them with colorful fabrics to match the over all Jungle theme and add some bright ribbons for accent.
Hope you have enjoyed our design show. All items picture were custom designed and hand crafted by the P&P Baby-On-The-Way Design Team. We do not take special orders. (LOL)
Til next time.
