The Renaissance Chair

What was once leather and "Hunter Green," is now covered and redesigned in a soft gray and white paisley and going to snuggle us and our little man for many many days.  Our "wizard" of a seamstress, Elise, whom we met on Craigslist (gasp!) has helped us with this project and crib bedding...so much fun!

Something for the man

Some cufflinks from a shop on Etsy...Ismay, using vintage maps.  Cool!

Best pregnancy find of the month: aqua aerobics at 24-Hour Fitness!  I went last week and again tonight.  The best exercise I've done since being "really" pregnant.  There's no impact, and I can move more, and faster than I could on dry land.  PLUS, the company of the regulars is unbeatable!

I have been wandering around the website, project nursery, for the last couple of weeks using real people's photos of their nurseries for inspiration.  Fun to see what people are doing!  And the colors!!!
The tutorial for the flags is HERE.
