toot, toot

that is the sound of me tooting my own horn :) i worked on two projects super bowl sunday...and now i shall show them off! first up is an old window. my mom bought this a few years back for ellis' room...i updated it and put it in emery's nursery...here it is filled with pictures of her biggest fans :) the fabric in the other 3 panes is the same fabric from the crib bedding...

next up was a monogram over her bed. i am over the wooden letters above the crib thing. i still think they are totally cute...but i have done them twice...time for something new!!! i decided i would paint her monogram on the wall above the crib. i didn't know if it would work out...but i had nothing to lose. i knew i could always just paint over it if it was THAT bad :) here it is...

i kinda cheated :) here is how i did it...

i took her baby book and photocopied the monogram on the cover...then had it blown up on card stock @ kinkos...

i then cut them out and taped them above the crib. then traced them onto the wall. then removed them.

then filled in the lines using an itty bitty brush with the same paint as the ceiling paint in the room...and p.s.- the color in this picture is not the color in real life...just a bad pic.it actually looks better in person...i am REALLY close to being finished with the room...a few more small things to do and i am calling it complete :) she will be here SO soon...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
