Sheet Music Frame

This idea combined a few different ideas I saw on pinterest. I saw somewhere that they took a line from a song and used colorful notes. Of course, I think "Wake Up, Little Susie" is an appropriate song for Baby Susannah's nursery! I've also seen the frame in a frame idea, so I decided to try it out. I created the sheet music myself with musical fonts and lots of patience. Then, I painted the scroll frame in a pretty coral. I used teal paper for the notes and a hole punch to cut them out, and teal fabric for the background. I hot glued the fabric to the frame back, and then hot glued the scroll frame to the fabric.

Wooden Puzzles

I ordered these from pickyourplum.com and finally got around to putting them together. The kits came with all the pieces, I just had to find paper to put under each letter and then paint it. I used scrapbook paper with small pictures, mostly animals, trucks, trains, etc. I mod podged them to the bottom piece of wood, painted the top piece with the name cut out, painted all the pieces and knobs. Then I put a coat of polyurethane on the black because it seemed to be getting scratched easily. Last, I used wood glue and some clamps to glue it all together. I think they turned out great!

Baby Girl Nursery

I've really spent a lot of time (and had lots of fun) prepping the nursery and making almost everything for it. Here's a list of all the projects and their separate posts:

Shakespeare Quote

I love this quote by Shakespeare, and I can tell already that it fits Baby S perfectly. She is strong and stubborn already! I found the fonts I liked and arranged them, and since we don't have a color printer I had to spend some time getting it the right size to print somewhere else and maintain the fonts. It was tricky, but now it has a home on her dresser in this cute frame from the Michael's dollar bins!

Baby Blanket Holder

This one didn't require me to make anything, but I saw the idea on pinterest and spent a while trying to find the right kind of wine rack for the job. I love that it displays the beautiful blankets that people have given to Baby S. I love handmade blankets, and now everyone can see them. They add some color to the wall too!

Washi Tape Frame

I saw the idea for this frame here. I got most of the washi tape from pickyourplum.com and finished the frame very quickly. I painted the frame, lined up the washi tape on the front, trimmed the excess off, put a layer of mod podge on, and added a felt flower.

Pillow

I had lots of scraps from the quilt and bumper, so I decided to make a pillow for the nursery. I used the same tumbler pattern as the quilt, and the same backing fabric. I took the easy way out and just made the back in two separate pieces so it has an opening and I can easily take the cover on and off.
