Nesting

It's official - I'm nesting. I'm trying to keep the projects small and reasonable. There is a part of me that really wants to re-paint the bathroom and all the kitchen cabinets - something I realize wouldn't be wise at this point - so I am actively distracting myself with smaller more reasonable projects. Here are the results of the last two days: Chair cushions for the kitchen and a thick scarf of leftover yarn. On the list: a docking stations for all our rechargables, covering the bolster in the living room, the cushions of the rocking chair and a curtain for the guest bedroom. Any other suggestions of "Really Useful Things I Wish I had finished Before the Baby Was Born" are appreciated. But... lets all try and leave painting the bathroom and kitchen cabinets off the list.

Do you have a "car seat cozy?" In this weather, it's something that you TRULY will appreciate once the baby comes...and you can whip one off in an afternoon!

Thanks for the suggestion - yup I have one - the one that you altered for Kendra actually. You have just taken too good care of me....

ah yes, the docking station...we've thought of that idea and never yet gotten around to it.

Have you made some bum wipes for reuseable wipes? I ripped an old flannelette sheet into squares for this purpose...i started hemming them, but it was too tedious so I left them unfinished. Two years later they're still fine...some threads here and there.

Let me know if you want a wipe solution recipe.

thanks for making the change so I can comment!

A hanging thingy for all of her wee little shoes, mittens, wipes, diapers etc. We throw everything in our basket but if something was hanging downstairs on the wall it would be way better organized. Just a thought.
