little dude's room

Okay, now its less than one week to go. I sure do hope that he arrives this week. I am ready to meet him...tired of waiting. So to kill some time, here's a look at the nursery that Neil and I put together for him.

Ta da! The room was formerly an office/craft room that I used, and it was already painted a creamsicle orange colour. So we left it that colour to keep it bright and cheerful. I drew some fun sea creatures including starfish, whale, octopus and stingray (happy go lucky stingray) on some circular canvases (photo from previous post) . The colours used match some circle lights that are hanging across the top of one wall. So keeping with sea creatures, I took an old mobile that no longer had dangly things on it, got some wooden sea creatures from a craft store and made a mobile (starfish, whale, crab, scallop and turtle). We traced the wooden cutouts (along with a Dolphin) on the closet doors and Neil and I painted them in.

Of course I did some knitting. Made a blankie, made a whoozit kind of guy (that is also a rattle) and of course made a knitted robot. Every little dude needs a knitted robot.
