Oh my...it is nothing short of a miracle what we were able to see! I had my phone out videoing her movements...and she showed off her stuff! Her precious little face was as visible as if she was peeking through a window....two little eyes, nose....and she was practicing her breathing...opening and closing her mouth! Clearly we could see two little feet...with adorable little toes and little hands! It was a truly amazing appointment...and I am blessed to share it with my daughter and new grand daughter!!
That appointment spurred excitement to begin setting up her nursery. Mr Seventies and I spent an afternoon with them getting started....firstly this is my beautiful girl and her adorable bundle...
Remember the area rug we ordered a few weeks back? It fits the room perfectly.....and then the task of setting up the crib began...Grampie and Daddy got right to work.....
And the finished product....with her dachshund quilt ready to cuddle in....
If memory serves me correctly....a talented artisan on Etsy hand stitched the quilt...it truly is a work of love...
Every nursery needs a comfortable rocking chair....the floor lamp was from another room....and the shade was one I had on a previous lamp....works perfect here.....her doxie mobile is resting on the crib rail....the attachment needed to hang it on the crib has been ordered.....
Her bassinet will be moved into the master bedroom once she makes her debut...
The dresser and change area...and a cute cart from Michaels will come in handy for keeping items needed at hand...rather than go back and forth from room to room....it will be well stocked with all things needed during those late nights of feedings and changes....this is also the wall where the mural will be painted in February...
I snapped this photo while the cart was being assembled...inside the drawers are compartments were things are neatly organized...
And no doxie nursery would be complete without the resident doxie on hand to supervise...Benson gives his paw of approval....
Even baby girl's closet is organized with outfits....by size from newborn on up. Her Mamaroo seat is stored in the closet waiting for her arrival! All cords on the blinds in their home will be safely secured up out of reach....a definite safety precaution.
A fun afternoon...and I cannot wait to be rocking in that chair with our new arrival!!
We attended a craft fair nearby as well and of course...I couldn't resist a couple of precious knitted items....and daughter has said this will be her "coming home" sweater set. She says these are all coming back and new Moms are loving little sweaters with matching hats. The booties were from another table at the sale...a grandmother of eleven grand children knitted them...and said all her grand babies wore them to keep little feet warm! Sold!
Of course, nothing comes in without Liesel giving it the sniff test.....
In other news....we stopped into our neighbour's workshop and I was able to give my cabinet a good once over....and thrilled to see plate grooves in the shelves...
In this prior photo...the decorative pieces in the glass are fully removable....and will be...and that top piece with the finial is screwed on...so that will be removed as well. The bottom area has two doors with ample room for storage...I need to pick up new hardware for the doors and the drawer...
I picked up a jar of Fusion paint in the colour called Ash. It is not a black...but rather a dark, dark gray.....and a bottle of TSP to mix with water so Mr Seventies can give the cabinet a through cleaning before painting. I've been assured Fusion paint requires no priming beforehand...fingers crossed.
I still need to choose lighting for inside....I want something very soft....not harsh lighting.
And Mr Seventies and I attended a concert at the Confederation Centre last evening....two country artists were in town...George Canyon...the pride of Pictou, NS and Aaron Pritchett from Nanaimo, BC. It was a great evening of music and laughs....very blustery and cold when we left the theatre and headed home!
Same weather in store for today!! Can you believe there are only nine days til Christmas? It is coming upon us fast....but we are all ready!! How about you? Have all your shopping done?
Thanks for stopping by!!
