Do you have any projects your working on before baby comes? They could be craft projects, decorating, DIY, creating a space for the baby, organising and decluttering.
Re: Baby Projects and Crafts
I used excel to design the fair Isle pattern and followed a simple pattern for the rest.
I'm pretty pleased with how it's come out. I've also got some raspberry coloured wool to make a knitted romper. I've also got a muted peach to make a cardigan and hat for baby's going home outfit. Both in 100% Marino super soft wool.
Next week I'm going to make a start on decorating the baby's room. The walls and round the window need some TLC because our house is old. We also have dormer bedrooms and a lot of the room is really in the eaves. Which is fine apart from the previous owner painted what was already a small dark room, navy blue. I'll post some progress pick when I get started.
Once these are done I'm going to move on to little hats for him since he'll be a winter baby.
I've finishes painting the babies room. I'm planning on a woodland theme. I'm going to get some stick on wall decals and a few other bits for the room.
I'm really pleased with the finished result. I should have taken a before picture. The walls were navy blue and took 5 coats of paint to cover. The window needed a lot of work because the was an old curtain pelmet that was partly covering the window that I pried off.
DS2 enjoyed helping me put together the cits. I've got all the fabric things to wash but it feels good to be a step closer to being ready for baby.
