More pics & nesting continued...

It's kind of amazing the amount of work a girl can get done when that nesting kicks in!

I got the bookshelves up ($4 ikea spice racks painted white - thanks to Dan's cousin Sarah for the idea!) and now the room is pretty much complete! I plan to blow up some newborn pics of June on canvas and add them to the room right over the bookshelves, but that should do it! Phew!

I kinda went crazy making little headbands & flowers for June. They were super easy and fun so I just couldn't stop :). I got 26 yards of skinny elastic from Etsy.com for about $9 which makes 52 headbands (2 in each color) but I just made one in each color in the smaller size (about 13 inches) and saved the rest to make headbands in a larger size once she grows. All you do is cut 13 inches of elastic and then use hot glue to glue the ends together (overlap about 1/2 inch). Done! I'm keeping them on a chip clip (LOVE these from Ikea) in her drawer.

Here's all the flowers I made! I learned how to do the rolled rosettes from this website, and the rick-rack flowers & mini-pom flowers I just figured out on my own.

The mini-poms you just roll and glue onto themselves and the rick-rack flowers you just take a needle & thread and sew through the tips (if that makes any sense) and hot-glue on a button in the center.

This is what mini-pom looks like before:

Roll it up, and wa-la!

To attach the clip, I just cut out a small circle of felt, slid a bobby pin (found really small bobby pins at Walmart) on the circle and then hot-glued the whole thing to the back.

And we're finally getting to that woodwork in the master bedroom! Yay! (started working on this 1 year ago!)

We're painting all the woodwork white (the color above is Martha Stewart's Bedford Grey). I'll be posting more pics once it's finally done (hopefully this week!!)
