Austin's Nursery

I  finally put the finishing touches on Austin's nursery in August.  I figured after 8 months it was about time!  And the rate we switch rooms around, I wanted him to be able to enjoy it for awhile.  I'm really pleased with how it turned out.  I based the color scheme of blue and green on the five different fabrics I found with some pops of yellow.


I had wanted to make a cross stitch of Austin's baby stats, but none of the patterns at the store appealed to me and making one from scratch seemed too much at the time, so I opted to make a subway art on canvas instead.  I found the love quote online. The picture of him was taken at the hospital and worked perfectly with a yellow frame I already had.  I especially love the duck cross stitch.  It goes well with the colors and holds a great deal of sentimental value since it was the first cross stitch I ever made.  It hung for many years in my grandparents' home, and since Austin bears my grandpa's name as his middle, it's perfect!

So cute! I really need to do something more for Sophie's room. I am especially wishing I had a nice chair like the one in his room. Someday. :) It was so fun to spend time with you guys in Oregon. Hope things are going well for all of you!
