plans.

You guys, my to-do list keeps getting longer and longer. I add more things than I take off. Anybody else having the same problem?

The big stuff, right now, is all baby-related. I saw this nursery and totally fell in love!

I had intended to make a quilt for the new baby myself, but with only about 10 weeks to go (o.m.ggggggg) I finally admitted to myself that I just don't have enough time, so it's all ordered on Etsy and should arrive in a month. Meanwhile, my mom and I are working on the details: crib skirt, throw pillows for extra cushiness on the rocking chair, a mobile, wall hangings. The picture above is definitely my inspiration, but I'm excited to show you how it all looks once we have everything ready. (And all those boxes out of the way...) I shared a sneak peek of my fabric on Instagram - hop on over to see it! And check out my Pinterest pregnancy board for more details about what I'm working on.

And because I always struggle with guilt, I'm making some new things for Lorelei's room, too - especially needed since she'll be moving to her "big girl" bed in just a few weeks! Lifting her in and out of her crib is becoming pretty problematic for this growing mama, so let's hope she's ready for the transition. Things I've learned so far: pinking shears are more expensive than you might think.

Any big projects in your future? Share in the comments and/or provide a link to anything you've recently accomplished - I'd love to ooh and ahhh over it all!
