Our Life: Baby projects

Baby projects

I have been trying to finish up a few last minute sewing projects over the past few weeks. I made a car seat canopy, nursing cover and carrying bag, and a crib skirt to match the quilt my amazingly talented friend Angela made for the baby. We decided to take the crib bedding back that we purchased last month because the baby quilt that was given to us is so cute and colorful. I asked Angela where she got the fabric so I could make the skirt and she gave me 4 yards of extra fabric! She is awesome.

Here is the quilt. Way adorable, huh? Thanks Angela!!!

This was the first time I have ever attempted to make a bed skirt. It is far from perfect, but I am happy with how it turned out!

Nursing cover and matching bag

Now I just need my baby girl to get here!! Only about 25 more days!!!

Glad you guys got to get away before the baby comes. I can't wait to see her :) She's going to be such a doll~; July 1, 2012 at 2:32:00 PM PDT

Nick and I have been married for 14 years. We enjoy spending time together and with our little family. Our daughter, Maya, joined us in September, 2006 and we love having her in our home. She is so much fun and keeps us on our toes. Josh was born in March, 2009 and is very much a boy. He loves cars and sports, especially the Detroit Tigers. Cora was born July, 2012 and, with her birth, we are completely outnumbered! She is darling and we love that little peanut. It's so much fun having a boy and 2 girls to raise. We are very blessed.

This is a great way for us to keep in touch with our families since we are so far away from home. Nick graduated from the University of Michigan with his MBA a few years ago, and worked for Ford Motor Company for 12 years before making the switch to Hyundai 2 years ago. He enjoys being outdoors and he especially loves to mountain bike. I love being home with my kids, cooking, reading, and visiting our family members in Utah and California.
