Sometimes life can fly by. Next thing I know I will be holding a 6 month old wondering where my pregnancy went. Today I just took some time to reflect on God's goodness in our lives, Andrew and I feel so blessed. What a beautiful time in life to relish in. Hope you had some time this week to pause and reflect too.
I've been searching online for a cute mobile to put in the lil' one's nursery.. but they tend to be pretty expensive and I couldn't find any cute airplane ones that would incorporate into our very warm and neutral nursery theme.
So as usual (sometimes I need just a little push) A said "why don't you just make your own?" So we did. It was a fun project and really got me excited about the arrival of our little one. Its also a cute way to bring Andrew into the room - as he is a pilot. I wanted to include airplanes in a way that would be cute and non-cheesy.
Supplies: White (65lb) Card-stock, White String, Wreath Frame, White & Beige Acrylic Paint, Double Sided Tape, Ceiling Hook.

In our office (soon to be Nursery) we have a large bulletin board attached to the wall. Because it would be more work to move it, than to improve it, I've thought up a creative idea to snazz it up. Andrew and I purchased a staple gun yesterday and plan to cover it in a nice light beige fabric, with a mild pattern on it. Something that will pair really nicely with the truffle colour once its on the walls.
Stay tuned for an update post showing off the finished product & hopefully the painted walls!
After the fabric is on, I have a large area to fill with pieces of cute Nursery Art!!
I was planning on maybe designing these pieces myself (was thinking about 5-7 frames in a pretty collage with animal prints in them). But recently some beautiful watercolour artists have caught my eye on Etsy. I started getting so into watercolours when I discovered oana befort's blog - her work is so beautiful!!
Anyways, here is just a small sample of the wonderful watercolours I've been tempted to purchase lately.
