Nursery #2 completed!

Over the weekend we went up to my parents house to finish putting together Adeline's space at my parents. She has her own crib and space now so she can nap when we are there during the day and make over-night stays better! Adeline hates sleeping in the pack-n-play, so this will be great.

NOSE

NAP?? What nap??

Playtime at Maw Maw & Paw Paws! Adeline has a zebra toy and a zebra chair!

Zebra Wall Decor for Nursery #2

I decided that Adeline's 2nd bedroom at Maw-Maw and Paw-Paws deserved some custom wall decor! So I whipped out my Silhouette SD (I sooo need to upgrade to a Cameo) and got to work. I had already bought some canvas' (11x14) and washi tape at AC Moore a week or so ago, so I was all ready!

First I painted my canvas with some Hot Pink paint I already had on hand. I just did 1 quick coat of paint, I didn't really want total and complete coverage. It's mostly covered but you can see white/light pink in some areas.

Next I played around on the Silhouette and found a font and size I liked. I really like the font, just wish I had cut it thicker. I also need to get a better grade vinyl, I used the basic you get from Silhouette - and it would NOT stick to the canvas completely. I also purchased the zebra hearts through the online shop - I though it added a little something.

Next I played with the Washi Tape. This is my first craft project using Washi! It's pretty cool, just didn't stick to the canvas either really. Oh well, live and learn! I also put it around the edge of the canvas.

I hadn't planned on using Mod Podge, but since the vinyl and washi tape weren't really sticking good enough for me I decided it was a must for this project. I was pretty much out of the Mod Podge I had so I went and bought some more (yes I know you can make your own, I don't...). I decided to get the Matte finish for this project. I've used Glossy before and it's just too much.

Here is the finished project!

Week in Review

Last Sunday we celebrated my moms 60th Birthday! Her actual birthday is January 27th, but we celebrated a week later with extended family! We all met up at The Farmhouse in Christiansburg, VA for a late lunch. It was great, we had the restaurant to ourselves pretty much. Didn't get many pictures, but here are a few!

We've had a bit of a rough week with Miss Adeline. She got pretty sick Thursday night, it was her first night ever throwing up! Thankfully the next morning when she got up (10am!!) she was pretty much back to herself and didn't really act like anything had happened. She's been a bit clingy and wanting to sit on your lap or next you a bunch this week, so she still doesn't feel so great. I'm thinking molar teething! Here's Adeline chilling on the couch with her daddy.

My mom decided to makeover one of her guestrooms as a room for Adeline when we come to visit. It's fun getting to make another "nursery" for Adeline! I haven't gotten to pick things out myself, but its still fun. So far this is the idea for the room.

I spent today painting the room and hopefully next weekend we can finish putting it together! Adeline got to try out her new chair. So cute.
