Being off on Christmas vacation has given me some time to start thinking about the nursury. As most of you know, I love decorating! So having a baby room to decorate only brings that much more joy. I have been scouring the internet for fun ideas. I finally came across some things that I really like. I really wanted to make my own crib bedding (let me rephrase that) I really wanted to have Tim's mom and sister make my crib bedding while I picked out cute fabric. Crib bedding can be so expensive! So my search led me to http://www.amybutlerdesign.com/ She has so many great fabrics for all kinds of fun projects. The best thing is that lots of local stores carry her fabrics. Now it is just a matter of narrowing down which fabrics I want to choose. I think I want it to be pretty eclectic without looking like a hodgepodge. We will see if that is possible. I am also attempting to go with the bird theme. Tim has hung a birdcage in the corner of the room with a large branch (found in the ditch behind our house) above the birdcage. Doesn't get much cheaper than that. I found the pattern for these little birds at www.spoolsewing.com/blog/2008/05/16/bird-mobile.com I think I might actually attempt to make those to put on the branch. We will see how it all turns out.

Love it! It will be so cute for that little girl of yours. And I love Amy Butler fabrics...good choice.
I know at least two people who have made those birds and they turned out really well - adorable, actually. Birch carries Amy Butler too;)
