This blog was started in 2008 when we did IVF for the first time to build our family after 5 1/2 years of infertility. We now have 14 and 8 year old boys (thanks to modern medicine) and we are enjoying our blessed life as parents ♥ In the summer of 2016 we took another huge step and moved across the country from Oklahoma to New York! This blog is about life and everything in between

Nursery Pictures

You are finally going to get a sneak peek of how the nursery is coming along! We finished painting it last week, and this week we painted our other 2 bedrooms and I put the curtains up in the nursery.


Now, let me tell you about these curtains...you recall the sewing machine I recently got? Well I decided to make my own curtains for our bedrooms, and the nursery curtains were first on the list. The walls are green so I picked a contrasting color for the curtains. I used red thread with a zigzag stitch for the hemming, then got the bright idea to embroider a safari animal in the outer corner of each curtain panel!! They turned out FABULOUS:


But the windows are not quite finished. I am registered for a coordinating valance that will tie it all together. My baby shower is Saturday so if I don't get them there then I will buy them in the near future and put them up. But for now you get the gist of it!

PS: The crib arrives next week!

    The curtains are awesome. Oh, and Happy Earth Day.

  2. I made my daughter's curtains, too, but they weren't quite, as, um,....well I'm more "sewing challenged", lol, so they were just a couple of very simple panels :) Still rewarding, though! Yours look awesome!
