After we found out what we were having I got very excited, ordering all the fabric for the baby bedding and taking on the challenge of sewing it myself. It took me about a week. There are a few unfinished things such as the ties for the bumper, since the crib isn't set up I have to wait so I can measure where each tie will go, the crib skirt is missing a side panel, because I cut a piece of fabric 1 inch too short and did not have enough fabric to compensate so I have to go get another half yard, and the quilt needs to be quilted and the backing attached, but since I don't know how to do that I have to wait for my stepmom to get back from Oregon before I can tackle that. But in most part crib bedding is 85% done in 1 week. I am excited for other people having babies so I started on a little ladybug toy for a friend's daughter Breklyn. I also started and finished a baby blanket & burp cloths in 1 day. I am getting pretty fast now!
Oh and I do have to say that Brad was very pleased with the baby bedding! He also said he was glad I didn't go crazy with pink too! That it's girly but not overwhelmingly girly.
Also, I know I have it done way early. I thought the crib bedding would take forever but once I got into it it was hard to stop. Yep, I've got 20 weeks to go (4 1/2 months) and the baby room is almost done!

Crib quilt. I modified it by adding a border and the pink squares in the corner.

I'm impressed with your sewing skills! I have zero talent in that area. Way to go with getting so much done so early too, you're going to be ready for that baby to come in no time. I have a long way to go!

Holy cow, that ladybug is adorable! Brekke is going to love it (and eat the shiz out of those antennas, haha). Thanks, you are too sweet :)
