Just call me Martha Stewart.....Better yet Iris Posey ;)

I am 32 weeks and 2 days pregnant. We have been working on the nursery and its coming along beautifully. I decided to tackle the task of making Carter's bedding and art work for his room. After several, SEVERAL weeks of searching for the perfect fabric, I finally found it.. I ordered 5 yards! Chris and I decided that we didnt want a "babyish" feel to the nursery. We wanted something that wouldnt get to old and we wouldnt get tired of looking at.  We are going for a Fire Fighting theme, but not to heavy in the Fire stuff. We are trying to stay away from the cliche fire trucks and hoses look.

 After a serious hormonal melt down on Wednesday (thanks to my sewing machine) I was ready to give up.  Wednesday night my genius husband fixed my machine and he sewed a bumper himself.  I woke up thursday morning with a brand new outlook on the project at hand. I woke up ready to kick the project in the BUTT...and thats exactly what I did!  I knew I had my granny's blood flowing through me.. after all I am a Posey right? I have never been more proud of myself as I was when I was done.  The bumpers are made from the square fabric with a chocolate and white houndstooth fabric used for the ties and the cording that runs along the top of the bumpers.

 the after pictures.. oh yeah I rock!

I can not take ALL of the credit for the creative idea behind the choosing of the fabric. I was inspired by a bedding set I found. They wanted $300 for a 4 piece bedding set! I got all the fabrics, and art supplies and decor for under 250! I have to say, a whole nursery for under 250 is ddefiantly a steal!  My next project will be coordinating blanket, pillows and window treatments.  I also have some custom art work in the line up. I can not wait to have everything completed!    For other moms to be out there..If you want custom bedding... it can be done!

Here is an updated Belly picture...
