The Baby's Room

So I mentioned a little while ago I bought some awesome fabric from Ikea, to make some cushions for the couch in the nursery I've been busily creating (some may call it nesting!). Here are the finished pics of the cushions (quite cute I think!) and some other features of this dreamy room that I love; obviously it will be all the more better when there is a baby to actually go in it!!

Nursery Rhymes

With a baby due late May, I'm busily readying the nursery and trying to make it look all cute and warm and fuzzy. It's so exciting, and therefore its a really nice project to keep me busy.

We already have an existing feature wall of dark mermaid blue, so the theme is blue, aqua, lime green, white etc. Regardless of what the baby's sex will be (I think the whole blue for boys, pink for girls is super silly). Anyway I found some gorgeous print fabric at Ikea (yeah who'd have thought Ikea would sell material) ..see pic, and have just buzzed down the shops to buy zips and inserts so I can make 3 big cushions to sit on the nursery couch.

I'm eager now to get sewing because once the cushions are done, it should start looking really cute in there. And of course, I'll post pics of the finished nursery when it's... um... finished.... which is hopefully soon... :)
