Cate's Room

I am having so much fun making stuff for Cate's room! I'm fully aware that she is totally getting the first child treatment and that she is probably the only one of our kids who will get custom made by Mom bedding and hand painted by Mom and Dad furniture, but I am sure having a good time.

Grandma bought her a bassinet that's featured in this shot of her room:



And last night and today when I got home from work I finished up these pillows--obviously, Cate won't use these, but I think I'll put one at the foot of her crib and one on the reading/nursing chair:



One of the best things I've made for Cate is a burp cloth made out of a shirt my mom had when she was pregnant with me! It was the first maternity top she bought, and she gave it to me when we told her we were expecting Cate. My mom is a much tinier person than I am, and there was no way the shirt was going to fit (even early in my pregnancy) so I just hung on to it. Then I had this great idea to make it into a burp cloth. I wish I'd taken a before shot of the shirt, but I didn't think of that until right this minute. Oops!
