Olive's Room

 April was also the magic month that I finally finished Olive's room. She's only 8 months old. Nbd.

 Make no mistake... I wanted to BUY a mobile. A simple one. But I couldn't find what I wanted. So I finally checked Etsy. They were charging OUTRAGEOUS prices. I saw pom pom mobiles going anywhere from $65-115. What- EVER. That is ridiculous. I could do that easy.

So I bought my supplies. And started at it. 

I'm not sure how many hours were spent on this contraption, but it was easily 20+ hours more than I wanted to spend. (I'm not crafty.) All of a sudden $100 was sounding a very reasonable price to charge for one of these. I would for sure charge double if I was forced beyond my control to make another. (Which I pray will never happen.)

 Call me weird, but I'm obsessed with these sheets. Like, they are my favorite thing ever, right now.

And I have to include her blankie she loves to cuddle while she sucks her thumb and falls asleep.

 Ruffles. Yes. Yes. Yessss.

 So while I decided to save money on the mobile, I most definitely spent more than I bargained to make this "name" decoration happen. Eesh. Ah well. First daughter gets to be pampered. Next daughter will be limited to a 3 letter name, max. :)

 The dresser, looking rather sparse, as this picture was taken after Olive left for her 2 week hiatus from me so my back could heal.

And the finishing touch.... Noah's Ark ceiling fan. Sigh. Gotta love renting. Bah!
