Suddenly my craft desk feels very small!Until last night, my poor sew machine had been banished to the shelf ever since I got my
Cricut last September. I had to dust it off because this weekend is my
Niece's baby shower (that's right folks, I'm going to be a 24 year old GREAT aunt! So weird, but I'm excited!). There is a wicker bassinet that has been in my family for 43 years, and almost every sibling,
niece and nephew and a few friends and cousins has spent the first month or so of their life in it, and every baby gets new bassinet decor.
This baby's (still nameless, but a little boy!) nursery theme is jungle, so my Mom and I decided to go with that. After hunting through the fabric stores and coming home empty handed three times, we finally decided on a jungle baby print with green flannel lining and a
jungly quilt. Yes I made up the word
jungly. Deal with it.
So, I made the skirt that covers the legs last night.
I can't wait to show you the completed bassinet. Heck, I can't wait to see it myself! It's going to be pretty stinking cute.
And tonight, I'm making (my first ever!) cheater quilt. I bought the top fully assembled at
JoAnn's for 50% off, thanks to the nicest counter cutter I've ever encountered there (say that three times fast!) and I'm both nervous and excited to get started.
I'm going to add satin tags along the edges of the quilt because I know how much little boys love silky things :)
Wish me luck!
Finally, the finished bassinet and quilt! It took my mom and I a few weeks and lots of hours to get this done (in the knick of time!)
And here is my super pregnant niece (three weeks to go!) with the bassinet.
