i'm so crafty i make PEOPLE

so i didn't get to the pool this weekend. it kept looking like rain... BUT i got so much done around the house! with a huge help from jack - the lawn got mowed (thank god), pictures got hung and rehung, and copious amounts of baby laundry was done and separated by age and put away. i thought i had mostly newborn clothes. it turns out i have newborn, 3-6, 6-12, 12-18. this chick is set! especially with my mom and i continuing to buy her clothes and me registering for some very cute organic stuff from Alchemy (we just can't help ourselves). and diapers. diapers are washed and ready to go. this laundry literally took me two entire days. it was ridiculous! but now its done, we can see the floor to the baby room and hopefully now the crib will get built and pictures will get hung in there. slowly this room will be ready for baby.
i'm starting to get the itch for vacation. this happens at least once a year and its happening now - the need to be somewhere that is not here for a week or two. i'm thinking beachy, but i really want to go somewhere foreign like...greece. or ireland. i'd be happy with ireland. but we're saving for south africa so no trips this year.
i think i'm beginning some serious nesting. i just want to craft and organize. and drink coffee. weird i don't really like coffee.
i saw this:
from heather ross and immediately wanted to make a baby blanket/quilt out of it in this style:
but after my laundry i realized this kid needs absolutely no more baby blankets (except for maybe a really soft bamboo one from dreamsacks) so then i saw this: (everything is off of soulemama) cute pillow and thought - that would be way better. (i realize this is actually a dog bed, but you get the idea). so ahem jenny - need your help!
and guess which of these ribbons i'm dying to have: (actually i love them all) from retrosaria thank god i'm having a girl.

  1. nesting is fun :) It's nice to be motivated! Are you using cloth diapers??? I'm impressed!
