Well, we’ve been keeping busy still. Tonight the boys got a hair cut. Knut cut David’s hair, and then Knut got a haircut after the kids were in bed. David loves having Daddy cut his hair. He won’t sit still for me. There’s something about Daddy’s strong hands that just makes him stay put. I didn’t catch the huge smile on his face from when we started. He started melting down near the end though, as the cut hairs were starting to itch him.
My mom requested pictures of the diapers I’m working on. Here’s 2 of my 5 completed new diapers. My first one turned out way too small. I think I read the pattern wrong, so Silje’s cabbage patch doll has a new diaper now. Of the 4, these are the 2 nice ones. (The other 2 are good enough for the new little one to poop on, but nothing to show off!) The one on the left is a front snap, using the Little Comet Tails pattern. The one on the right is the Fattycakes pattern, which came to me highly recommended. I think I’m going to like the Fattycakes one much better since it’s a side snap, and as you can see, has way more snap options as far as fat legs or belly, or skinny legs or belly combinations.
Here’s a picture of the inside snaps
Here’s a picture of the inside…if you care. There are still some marks on them from the sewing/snapping process if you look close. I haven’t washed them yet. The really pink fabric in the background is an upcoming project for Silje for Christmas.
Yes, this is our bedroom as of tonight. We have finished tearing the wallpaper, washing down the walls, and Knut primed and painted it. There was a small unknown water problem that was way easier to take care of then we first thought, so that got done. There was also much debate about whether or not we should retexturize the walls, but we decided to leave it mostly because we have no more money for this project, and it sounded like a big messy job. I hope Knut will be happy with that decision, as I think it looks fine. The color of the walls is Behr “prelude”, if anyone wants to know, and I don’t know if the color is accurate on your screen. You are also seeing my finished quilt, with a coverlet from Herbergers at the end. I still need to make shams and pillows, and Knut and I are planning on making a headboard together… but all in good time! I don’t think the headboard will get done before the baby comes, and maybe even not for another year or two…but we’ll see. We’re planning an upholstered headboard. Knut would handle the frame and I would handle the upholstery. We’re so broke and so cheap that I’m not sure there’s going to be much in the room that we didn’t make ourselves. Well, the end tables, which aren’t in the picture yet, but those were bought. They were 75% off at Target, but they are store bought! Yeah, I’m cheap.
