As you can see, we more or less decided on a name. However, I have letters to do "Grace" too in case we change our minds.
Our changing table/dresser combo, which I started putting clothes into yesterday. After getting a huge bag of hand-me-down girl clothes from my sister, I sorted (usable vs. unuseable), washed, and folded 6 loads of laundry (ours + baby's)! I watched 3 entire movies while I did it all to make it less painful.
I'm still deciding where I want to hang these coat hangers I finished.
This frame arrangement is a work in progress, but I have big plans to make it super cute. Unfortunately, I'm having issues deciding what I really want to do. For example, keep them plain...
or Mod Podge some of them? Or maybe Mod Podge all of them? We'll see.The best part of these crafts was totally the price. I knew I wanted to do the ModPodge letters of her name, but each letter is usually $2.99 at Jo-Ann Fabrics. I went to Michael's one day to compare prices, and found that they were pretty much the same. But then I hit the jackpot in a 90% off section, where I found pressed wood letters on sale for $0.16 each! So here's the breakdown:
- 6 pressed wood letters: $0.96
- 3 unfinished star coat hangers: $1.50
- 9 unfinished wood frames: $9.00
- Paper: about $3.00
- Paint: about $3.00
- Mod Podge: $5.00
Oh, and I don't want to forget... my friend Hatsuho taught me how to spice up burp cloths, so I made a few at her house one afternoon. Now our little one can puke on us in style.

You have to love that deal. I am actually redoing Emily's room right now in very similar colors:-)
My vote is for modge-podged frames.
Super cute!!!
your baby room is going to look soooo cute. I should have gone to Michaels as soon as you told me about that sale!
For Cute! I love it all. My vote is mod podge some, but not all of them. I like a few with just the plane bold paint. It gives variety.
so crafty! well done!
i'm impressed. sadly, tyler's room is still not decorated. =(
Can I just say that I am really jealous that you've had the energy and brainpower to prepare for your baby. mine will be lucky to have a place to sleep, let alone a cute place. i need to not be working. at all. ever again. im pretty in a bad mood most of the time for the last 4 weeks. nonetheless, it all looks way cute.
so cute! I can't wait to see it in a few weeks (in real life).
Way cute!
I just took our blog private and I want to invite you, but I don't have an email address for you.
Could you send it my way and I'll invite you?

It looks so cute Suzy!
Wow! I'm impressed. I am sooooo not crafty, but if I knew how to do it, I'm sure it would be fun. SO CUTE!! And excellent pricing!
Su! I am so super impressed! That is going to be the cutest little room for the cutest little girl! MIss you!
Everything looks so cute. If we ever have a girl we wanted to name her Sydney, too! Ha! A girl! So we may use the name also, but it isn't looking so good...
