Birds

I am currently in the middle of designing my nursery. Before I got pregnant I told my husband that if I become one of those pregnant ladies who obsesses over the nursery he was free to slap me. Luckily he doesn't remember that and happily goes along with in depth talks about fabric and paint colours.

I have searched high and low for a crib set that meets my criteria. No pooh, no ducks, no cartoons, no obnoxious colours. The only one that came close was in the States and cost $500. Not exactly in my single income price range.

I have decided to make my own bedding and curtains. The theme, on paper sounds Edgar-Allen-Poe-quoth-the-raven creepy, but I think it will be nice. Gray curtains and bedding with black and light blue applique birds. My sister is designing a mural (picture featured) that will match the bedding and curtains. The walls will be a light blue or off white.

I am at the point where I lay in bed and think "Do I want three birds or two birds, and should they be the same fabric or should I mix it up, maybe I will...." This literally goes on for hours at a time.

I enjoy my free time thinking and planning a nursery my child will not remember. I know that in a few months I won't have the luxery of spending hours wandering around fabric stores or searching endlessly online for the perfect pattern of babylegs. I fill my days with cooking, cleaning and decorating. Such is my life as a stay at home pregnant lady.
