This is a frivolous post with
very little no info about Baby R. Though we've decided not to do much "decorating" in the nursery due to our short timeline in San Diego (potentially moving in Dec just 3.5 months after the Little's arrival!), I just can't help but look a
tiny bit at some cute gender neutral ideas. I mean what woman doesn't want to go all out and decorate their first-born's room?! I was actually doing really well and hadn't looked at all until this week. I've done a little bit of sewing-
some diapers, some swaddling blankets- and some knitting -
a little beanie and a warm cotton blanket. All practical things that I need and can make way cheaper (and cuter!) than I can buy. (
Sidenote- did you know they sell cotton muslin/gauze swaddling blankets for $40 for a set of 3? Uh, yeah. I bought enough fabric-in cute colors!- for 3 blankets and spent $11 and maybe 10 min per blanket finishing the edges. Anyway...) Tuesday, I stumbled across this adorable constellation-embroidered quilt project and just love it! Naturally, I immediately thought of the nursery, and since, I've just had outer space on my mind! Needless to say, the constellation quilt project is underway, and now I keep seeing more cute space-y things that make me want to break the rule a
tiny bit and decorate a little!!

| I think this pic is actually a table runner, but I'm improvising and making a larger quilt with a contrasting color binding- lime green, maybe? |
And since I know you have nothing better to do than check out imaginary pictures of what I
might do in Baby R's nursery here's just a few more pics of adorable things:

| Solar system mobile that glows! [link] |
 |
| And a crocheted version. Another project! |
 |
| A paper one with a template to make it from Martha Stewart! [link] |
 |
| Even though these pillows aren't necessarily "space-y" I just like all the colors and the geometric swirl! |
 |
| I already have a few of these photo hanging wires/clips from Ikea, but have yet to decide what to put in them... Ideas below! |
^^ These two are little watercolors of the phases of the moon! I just thought they'd be cute split up individually along the photo wire. ^^
Ok, that's all the time I'm wasting on nursery ideas for now. Back to Spring cleaning!
Those are fantastic ideas!!!!! If you end up making stuff that would be better for a boy, you can keep it for the future or give as gifts later. :) Your handiwork is so adorable, post some pics!
