Nesting=craft projects

Did you go through the nesting instinct when you were pregnant? I would say for me it has been one of the more intense symptoms of the last part of pregnancy...forget about braxton hicks. I was officially done with school on Wednesday and proceeded to make an UBER-long list of to-do's to keep myself busy over the next couple of days. Can I just tell you that half of that list got done on Thursday, which is ridiculous! But, I did get some really cute craft ideas done for Baby Penick's room. The first project involved taking embroidery hoops and painting them white, then placing three different, but coordinating fabrics in the hoops and then hanging them on the wall. It turned out so cute, I may have to make some to put in our bedroom as well. The second project was shelf with hanging pegs that I painted bright pink first. Then, I went over the pink with a bit of white paint and sanded down the whole thing with a little bit of sand paper to make it look worn. I love this crafting stuff! Better enjoy this energy while I can, because in a few weeks, a little one will be taking up all of it. I included some of my other creations for Baby Penick's room from earlier in my nesting phase. Hope it inspires you to get creative yourself.

Sooo adorable!! I LOVE the hoops- they are so cute and colorful!

I have been doing the same... cleaning/laundry/decorating his little room. It seems like he could come at any time!

We are even packing our hospital stuff today.. (I've been having contractions off and on since late last night!)
