Nursery - not finished yet!

Some quick shots of the nursery I took before Sven was born. There are a few more things there now but it is still not finished. I bought some wooden letters I want to cover with fabric (inspired by Magnetic Letters project from Purl Bee) and place on the wall around the crib and the changing area. All I have to do is find some time, pick fabrics, cut out and glue... I wander how long that will take considering current circumstances?

By the way - as  I mentioned earlier - we were supposed to paint the room, but then ran out of time. The room is still yellow, as it was for Luka, except that I changed the accent color from blue to red. Red shelves, red chair, red crib linens. I made the crib skirt in white/red stripes; outside of the bumper is in red/brown dots, the inside is white and it is bound in the same striped fabric as the skirt (close up). When my husband saw it, he said it is girly (it does look pink from far, but it is red!) so if we have a boy, we would have to replace it. We did have a boy, but he agreed it could stay. I like it, and I don't care - he is going to be a metrosexual, or uber sexual, or whatever the current trend is... :-)

This is a Round Tote storage bag that I made custom for a little girl for her first Easter. It will ship out tomorrow. The etsy listing is here...

On another note, I mentioned earlier my Mom and I went fabric shopping last week and here are some of the fabrics we got. First some reds on white - these are canvas weight:

Next some deep reds - the first one is canvas weight, the second one is thick but silky:

And finally some green and orange fabrics - the middle one is thick and silky, the other two are canvas weight.

And now on to some final baby sewing - swaddling blankets. And a pajama for Luka. And I have had this bag in mind that I want to make before going to the hospital...
