Thanks mom!!

I have to say, I have a very talented mother. Somehow, last spring when Jeremy and I were trying to get pregnant, she agreed to make all of my stuff. Stuff includes: the bedding, bumpers, bed skirt, curtains, pillow, diaper stacker and maybe add some flair to a little lamp. Did I leave anything out, mom? Well, we went ahead and picked out all of the materials last May, as I am one of those that really wanted to be surprised about the sex of the baby. This is one of the reasons I wanted my mom to make it all. I thought the gender neutral stuff in the stores was so-so (though it has improved in recent months) and I am not a huge fan of themes, which nurseries often revolve around. So she is at work on this project and AT WORK HARD! In fact, I am a little worried that her life is becoming all work and no play! She began this week and has finished the curtains and bed skirt and is moving on to the bumpers. She is a perfectionist (definitely a good thing) and it is looking great already. I can’t wait to see it in person (hopefully early March). And no mom, that doesn't mean it all has to be completed when you come for your visit. I wanted to include some pictures in the adoption scrapbook of her working on the new grandbaby’s “stuff”.

Notice the fabrics. I love it!
And the curtains are done. She even covered the buttons on the tabs. She is amazing!

Apparently my dad has gotten involved in this little project and is learning to sew. So here he is in all his sewing glory. Good job Martha Stewart!
