still in progress :: the nursery

nursery_wip2

LATELY WHEN I’VE CHECKED IN ON WREN first thing in the morning she’s been quietly watching the light on the wall. i’ve been meaning to buy her this mobile and paint something on her wall for months, and have been putting it off for no good reason. now that she’s been actively staring at a blank wall, it’s time. since we live in earthquake country hanging pictures is not an option, instead a few birds in flight seemed fitting. not sure yet what type of bird, wrens would be cute but predictable, maybe? how about a few house finches, sparrows, or a great big barn owl swooping in on a little mouse…maybe not. the little monster {numpy} is not part of the plan, but thought it would be funny to see what he would look like peering over the crib. i’m really amused by him.

we ordered a glider for her room last week. i still can’t believe she’s six months and we’re just now getting one…well, i can believe it because she needed a crib before i needed a glider and she’s survived this long without the luxury of being rocked to sleep. i really don’t like the look of gliders but we got it on sale so i can’t complain. i would love to sew a cover for it, and i have a sewing machine, but don’t know how to sew other than a straight line. kind of a problem, but i’m determined to figure this out most likely with lots of help from knowledgeable family and friends.
