Art Project

I have always wanted to be a crafty, creative person.  Alas, I'm not, naturally, so I have to try really hard.  I wanted to do something special for the nursery, though, and this is what I came up with.  And I admit, I'm quite proud of how it turned out.  I haven't gotten it on the walls yet, but here's what I did, with the whole thing made mostly of fabric scraps....

*Painted a "sky" on three panels of canvas



*Added some grass and planted a tree

*Made a few animals and attached them with decoupage

*Added some details

*Decoupaged over the whole thing....

Now, to finish the furniture so I can decide where this project is going to hang....

(shamelessly inspired by Andrea and Betsy )

At 30 Weeks I.....

*can't sleep well, between the baby moving fanatically and the inability to turn over easily

*finished an art project for the nursery walls (pictures to come)

*have made little to no progress on the knitted baby blanket

*have been busy knitting other things for my other pregnant friends

*am growing in confidence of my body's ability to give birth

*have a healthy level of anxiety about the whole process

*can't eat much at one time, leading me to be hungry very soon afterwards

*have to get a 3am snack on a regular basis

*am mulling over baby names

*feel the nesting began a long time ago

*enjoy the borrowed maternity wardrobe from the ever-generous Betsy

*like talking to the baby, wondering out-loud what it is doing, and what it is thinking about what it sees/feels/hears
