Nursery Projects

Here is the crib looking rather naked still and the rocking chair I was soothed in as a baby which my parents saved for me for all these years.

I made new pads for the rocking chair in a leaf green grid pattern with turquoise dot ties. The pillow is a super cute hand drawn looking forest animal pattern with a coral puffy border. It will help my back when nursing and rocking the baby in the middle of the night. The (to-be) blanket is just folded flannel right now. I'm waiting on some fabric to come in for the back so I can sew it together. The animal print will be also made into bumper pads in regular cotton.

The repainted dresser in a bright spring green.

I repainted this shelf brown (it was an ugly yellow particle board color). It will be for toys, books, and other items and we can add another level to the top for later on.

I bought an old boppy and a boppy play gym yesterday for 8$. They were the old kind that had ugly printed fabric sewn onto the pillow not just as a cover over white. This is the play gym that I am basically remaking rather than recovering because of this. Flexible padded bars attach to create a little dome where toys dangle. I took apart the gross cotton/poly fabric and used it as a pattern for this cute organic cotton. I'll do the same with the padded bars and create some of my own fabric toys to hang from it. The other boppy I'll just put new covers on because the fabric isn't too dark. My mom was going to work on some for me. I hope all the effort is worth it! It is fun making things for baby anyway.
